Elite Landscape & Fence | Best Fence Contractors in Marinette, WI

This is commonly caused by frost heave and poorly compacted, waterlogged soil near the surface. When the ground freezes in Marinette’s winter, moisture in loose soil expands and pushes posts upward. Over time, this creates leaning sections. Elite Landscape & Fence solves this by excavating deep post holes, backfilling with compacted, frost-resistant soil, and regrading the surrounding area to ensure proper drainage away from fence lines.

Look for obvious signs after a heavy rain: standing water, soft or mushy ground, or runoff pooling along your intended fence line. If your property slopes toward your home or has uneven areas near the shore of the Menominee River or around Badger Park, grading is essential. Elite Landscape & Fence will inspect your yard, perform site grading to create a stable, level base, and prevent water from undermining your fence’s foundation or damaging your lawn.

Usually, the issue isn’t with the motor itself, but with ground movement. Frost cycles or shifting soil in Marinette can misalign the gate’s hinges, causing binding. Also, debris or soil buildup in the track or near the swing area can obstruct movement. Elite Landscape & Fence provides automatic gate repair that includes evaluating the gate’s alignment, inspecting the surrounding soil and base, and if needed, regrading or compacting the area to restore smooth, reliable operation.
