Darrow landscapes | Trusted Fencing Company in Mustang, OK

In Mustang, the primary cause is our heavy clay soil, which expands when wet and shrinks during dry spells, creating movement around fence posts. Additionally, strong winds in the area can put pressure on fences, and if posts aren’t set deep enough or with proper concrete, they may lean over time. Overhanging tree branches or roots from nearby trees can also contribute to shifting by disturbing the ground or pushing against the fence.

Look for branches that are dead, cracked, or rubbing against your fence, as these can cause damage during a storm. Also, check for roots that are visibly lifting the ground around fence posts or creating tripping hazards. If you notice mushroom growth at the base, significant leaf drop in summer, or a lean toward structures, these are signs of potential disease or structural weakness that could compromise your fence and property.

We offer regular maintenance that includes trimming or pruning trees and shrubs away from your fence line to prevent scratches, rot, and wind-driven friction. Our team also manages drainage by grading soil or adding mulch to reduce water pooling near fence posts, which helps prevent rot and soil erosion. By keeping grass and weeds under control, we reduce moisture retention around the base of fences, extending their lifespan.
