Fencing Company Conway AR | Call From the ground up fencing

Fence post rot in Conway is usually caused by moisture trapped in the soil, especially after heavy rains common in central Arkansas. Clay-heavy soils hold water against the wood, leading to decay over time. To prevent this, we set posts in gravel for drainage and use pressure-treated lumber or rot-resistant materials like cedar. If you notice soft wood or leaning posts, it's time for a replacement before the damage spreads.

Look for posts that wobble or lean, especially after a storm. Another sign is cracking or peeling paint near the base of the post, which indicates moisture has gotten in. In areas like near Lake Conway or along Dave Ward Drive, you might also see soil washing away from the post base. If you spot these, call us for an inspection—we can reinforce or replace the posts before your whole fence fails.

We start by removing the damaged post and clearing out the old hole. Then we add a layer of gravel for drainage, set a new pressure-treated post, and backfill with concrete that slopes away from the wood. For extra protection, we can install post sleeves or use metal brackets. This keeps your fence stable even in Conway's wet seasons, so you won't have to worry about sagging gates or loose sections.
