Fencing Company Fresno CA | Call E & G Landscaping

In Fresno, the primary cause is soil erosion from seasonal rain and irrigation. Water can wash away the soil around the post base, especially in sandy or clay-heavy soils common near the San Joaquin River. This leaves the post unsupported, leading to leaning or rot. E & G Landscaping can assess your yard's drainage and recommend grading or lawn care adjustments to reduce erosion.

Signs include a gate that sticks, won't latch properly, or has a gap at the bottom. This often happens when shifting soil moves the gate post out of alignment. If you notice these issues after rain or watering, it's likely ground movement. E & G Landscaping can realign the post and install a more robust lock system suited to Fresno's soil conditions.

We start by stabilizing the soil around the post with compacted gravel or concrete, and improve drainage with grading or French drains. For severely eroded areas, we may replace the post and use a corrosion-resistant metal bracket. Combining this with our lawn and tree care services helps prevent future erosion by promoting healthy root growth and proper water runoff.
