Trusted Fence Builders in Hollister, CA 95023 - EZ Fence Company

Many Hollister properties have clay-heavy or sandy loam soil that shifts with seasonal wet and dry cycles. This soil movement, combined with inadequate post footings, causes posts to loosen and lean over time. EZ Fence Company addresses this by excavating around the affected post, removing loose soil, and resetting the post in concrete that extends below the frost or moisture line. For severely eroded areas, we also install gravel drainage at the base to redirect water away from the post. This method stabilizes the fence without requiring a full replacement.

If you notice splintering wood, fading color that no longer sheds water, or dark mold spots near the base, your fence likely needs weatherproofing or staining rather than just a mechanical repair. In Hollister's climate, where summer sun dries wood and winter rain saturates it, unprotected fences quickly crack and warp. EZ Fence Company will first repair any damaged boards or loose nails, then apply a high-quality stain or sealant suited to local conditions. A properly weatherproofed fence resists rot and UV damage for years.

Yes. A sagging gate is almost always caused by soil erosion under the hinge post or by weakened hinge hardware. EZ Fence Company will first check if the post has moved due to soil shifts. If the post is stable, we simply replace the hinge screws with longer corrosion-resistant ones and adjust the gate latch. If the post has tilted, we dig down, reinforce the base with concrete and gravel, and rehang the gate. In most cases, we can have the gate swinging level and clearing the ground within a few hours.
