Goettemoeller Landscaping | Expert Fencing Company in Botkins, OH

In Botkins, the main cause is freeze-thaw cycles combined with moisture. Soil expands and contracts, loosening posts, while wet seasons accelerate wood rot. Goettemoeller Landscaping solves this by setting posts in concrete below the frost line, using pressure-treated lumber or steel posts, and providing drainage gravel at the base. If your fence is already leaning, we can re-set posts and replace rotted sections, restoring stability and prolonging the fence’s life.

Yes. For any new fence or gate installation in Botkins, we pour concrete footings that extend below the frost line. This prevents shifting during winter and keeps the structure upright. We also offer masonry work for matching retaining walls or steps if needed. Concrete footings are key to avoiding sagging gates and misaligned sections over time.

Absolutely. We assess the issue first—common signs are gates dragging on the ground, splintered wood, or loose hinges. In most cases, we replace individual posts or panels, and reinforce gate posts with concrete. If the hardware is rusted or weak, we upgrade to heavy-duty hinges and latches. The goal is a solid repair that matches the existing style, saving you money over a full replacement.
