Fisher Family Enterprises: Local Fencing Company Serving Burnsville, NC 28714

Burnsville’s mountain climate causes soil to expand and contract with moisture, and many yards have natural slopes. Over time, this movement loosens the ground around posts. Fisher Family Enterprises addresses the cause by first regrading or excavating the area to ensure proper drainage and a stable base. We then set posts in concrete or use metal brackets to prevent future shifting.

In our humid, rainy climate, untreated wood can decay quickly. We recommend applying a high-quality stain or sealer annually. But long-term protection starts with proper grading—so water doesn’t pool at the fence line. Fisher Family Enterprises offers both fence weatherproofing and land grading services to keep your fence dry. We also use rot-resistant woods or metal alternatives for posts.

Yes, that’s a common issue here. When ground shifts, the gate’s hinges or tracks get slightly misaligned. Fisher Family Enterprises can repair automatic gates by realigning the hardware and, if needed, regrading the ground beneath the gate. We also check the electrical system and can upgrade to a more durable operator suited for uneven terrain.
