Q&A
My wooden fence in Trenton has started to rot near the bottom. What causes that, and what’s the best solution?
In our humid Trenton climate, ground contact rot is common when moisture builds up at the base of wood posts and pickets. The solution we recommend is replacing affected sections with pressure-treated lumber or, for a longer-lasting fix, switching to vinyl or cedar—both of which resist moisture better. We also suggest adding a gravel base under new posts to improve drainage. We’ll assess your specific fence line and provide a repair or full replacement that stands up to local weather.
My gate keeps sagging and won’t latch properly. Is this a sign of a bigger problem with my fence?
A sagging gate usually means the hinge posts are shifting or the gate frame has twisted over time. This can be an early sign that your fence posts need reinforcement or replacement. The solution is to install a heavier-duty gate frame with diagonal bracing and set the hinge post in concrete at least 24 inches deep. We can also upgrade your hardware to rust-resistant hinges. Fixing this now prevents the entire fence section from leaning later.
I’m getting water pooling in my yard after rain, and part of my fence line looks crooked. Could these be related?
Yes, they often are. Poor drainage can soften the soil around fence posts, causing them to shift and lean. The best solution is to regrade that area to direct water away from the fence line, then reset the affected posts in deeper concrete footings. We also offer landscape grading and French drain installation as part of our services to prevent future shifting. In Trenton, where clay soil is common, proper grading is a long-term fix for both your fence and your yard.
Company Profile
