Questions and Answers
What causes fence posts to lean in Raleigh's climate?
Raleigh's soil is often clay-based, which expands when wet and contracts when dry. Combined with seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, this shifting soil can loosen fence posts over time. Without a proper concrete footing, posts can lean or sink, especially after heavy rains or rapid temperature changes typical of our area.
How does Garcia Concrete fix a leaning fence post near Raleigh?
Our masonry and concrete experts assess the issue on-site, often near landmarks like the State Capitol or Five Points. We remove the affected post, dig a deeper hole (typically 24-36 inches), pour a concrete footing, and set the post in fresh concrete. This anchors it below the frost line and into stable soil, preventing future movement. For existing concrete, we can re-pour around the base for added strength.
Can Garcia Concrete build a new fence that won't lean over time?
Yes, we design and install new fences in Raleigh with concrete-reinforced post footings. Our process involves using a larger diameter auger to create a wide, deep foundation—especially important in neighborhoods like Cameron Village or near Lake Johnson. We mix a high-strength concrete blend that resists cracking from freeze-thaw cycles, giving you a fence that stays straight and secure for decades.
