Residential Fencing Naples FL | Call Garrett's Tractor & Fence Service

Naples' heavy rainfall can saturate the sandy soil, causing it to expand and contract, which loosens the grip on fence posts. Storm surges and flooding erode the ground around the base, leading to instability. At Garrett's Tractor & Fence Service, we address this by excavating around the post, adding gravel for drainage, and setting the post in concrete to prevent future shifting.

Signs of flood damage include leaning posts, rusted hardware, rotting wood, or gaps between fence panels. Water stains and mold near the base indicate prolonged moisture. If your fence was submerged, the soil may have washed away, exposing post holes. Contact Garrett's for a free inspection; we'll assess and reinforce your fence to withstand Naples' next storm.

For flood-prone areas like Naples, we recommend vinyl or aluminum fencing. They don't rot, warp, or rust like wood and iron. Vinyl is lightweight and resists water damage, while aluminum is strong against wind. For wood fences, we treat them with sealants and install proper drainage. Avoid chain link as it can sag. Garrett's can advise on the best material for your property.
