Glick Fencing & Hardscaping: Professional Fence Contractors Serving New Providence, PA 17560

The main cause is the freeze-thaw cycle common in Lancaster County winters. When the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly, it can shift the soil around fence posts, causing them to loosen and lean. Heavy rain and storm runoff, especially in low-lying areas near the Conestoga River, can also erode the soil, leading to sagging gates. Glick Fencing & Hardscaping addresses this by using concrete-set posts and proper drainage techniques during installation.

Look for signs like peeling paint or stain, visible cracks or splintering in the wood, rust on metal gates, or any posts that feel wobbly. If you notice a gate dragging on the ground or not latching properly, that's a sign of post movement or hinge wear. In New Providence, where humidity and rain are common, weatherproofing is crucial. Glick recommends annual inspections, especially after winter, and offers staining and sealing to prevent rot and extend your fence's life.

Yes, we can. If only a few posts or panels are damaged—for instance, from a fallen tree branch or a vehicle backing into it—we'll assess the damage and replace just the affected sections. This is a common solution for homeowners in neighborhoods like those off Penn Grant Road or near the New Providence Fire Company. We'll match the existing style and materials as closely as possible, so the repair blends in seamlessly. After the repair, we can also paint or stain the new section to match.
