Gonzalez Yard Care - Albany's Top-Rated Fence Contractors

Albany's frequent rain and clay-heavy soil create poor drainage, which leads to moisture buildup around fence posts. Over time, this causes wood rot and soil erosion, making posts shift or lean, especially during freeze-thaw cycles in winter.

Look for visible signs like gaps between boards, sagging sections, or a gate that sticks or drags. If posts wobble when pushed or you see soft, spongy wood near the ground, the posts likely need replacement to prevent collapse.

We start by assessing the soil and post condition. For rotted posts, we replace them with pressure-treated lumber set in concrete for stability. For minor leans, we realign and brace the fence, adjusting gates to ensure smooth operation. We also recommend grading improvements to redirect water away from the fence line.
