Common Questions
What causes fence posts to shift in the winter around Middleville?
The frequent freeze-thaw cycles in Michigan cause the soil to expand and contract, leading to frost heave. This pushes fence posts upward and tilts them, especially if they aren't set deep enough.
What are the signs that my fence has frost damage?
Look for leaning or uneven fence panels, loose gates, cracks in wooden posts near the ground, or concrete footings that have popped up. These are common after a harsh winter in Middleville.
How does D&E Fencing fix frost-heaved fence posts?
We dig out the affected posts, set them in concrete below the frost line (about 42 inches in this area), and ensure proper drainage. For wooden fences, we use treated lumber resistant to rot.
