E & B Landscaping And Tree Service: Experienced Fence Contractors Serving Austin, TX 78753

Austin's expansive clay soil can shrink and swell significantly with changes in moisture. During dry spells, the soil contracts and can pull away from fence posts. After heavy rain, the soil expands and can push posts out of alignment. This cycle of movement is a common cause of fence post instability. A sign of this is a gate that no longer latches properly or a fence that visibly leans. E & B Landscaping and Tree Service can stabilize or replace posts using techniques suited to local soil conditions, such as deeper concrete footings or post-hole backfill methods that accommodate soil movement.

First, carefully inspect the entire fence line for broken boards, popped nails, and leaning sections. If a section has fallen, remove it to prevent further damage or injury. For immediate stability, temporary bracing can help. The best solution depends on the extent of the damage—some sections may only need board replacement and reinforcement, while widespread damage might require rebuilding the affected panels. E & B's fence repair service includes evaluating the damage, weatherproofing remaining wood, and securely re-anchoring posts. If only a few boards are cracked, we can replace them efficiently; for larger issues, we can install new, wind-resistant fencing that meets Austin's building codes.

Yes, absolutely. Overhanging limbs from trees like live oaks or cedars can snap during high winds and fall onto a fence, causing significant damage. Regular tree pruning and trimming removes weak, dead, or heavy branches that pose a risk. By keeping trees properly trimmed away from your fence line, you reduce the chance of impact damage and also allow for better airflow, which reduces wind load on the fence itself. E & B's tree care services include strategic pruning to protect your property. We also handle tree removal if a tree is diseased or leaning and poses a direct threat to your fence or home.
