Dixon Driveway and Tractor Service - Princeton's Experienced Fence Builders

Yes, leaning fence posts often mean the soil around the base has shifted or eroded. We can excavate around the posts, remove loose soil, and dig proper footings that go below the frost line. This gives posts solid anchoring. We can also trench to improve drainage in the area, preventing future settling. It's a common fix we do for Princeton properties near the Little River floodplain.

Tree roots can cause fence panels to buckle and posts to lift. Instead of just cutting them at ground level (which leaves stumps that invite rot and regrowth), we use our tractor to fully excavate the root system from the fence line. We grind stumps if needed and then trench a straight, clean path for your posts. This gets rid of the root problem immediately and saves you from re-doing sections later.

Absolutely. Pooling water softens the ground and makes fence posts unstable over time. We can dig shallow trenches along the fence line to redirect water toward a drain or away from your yard. Combined with proper grading—which we handle with the tractor—you'll stop the standing water issue and extend the life of your fence. We do this a lot for homes near the Princeton area where clay soil drainage is poor.
