Top-Rated Privacy Fence Installation in Edmond, OK 73034 - Great Plains Landscaping

Edmond’s soil contains high amounts of clay that expands when wet and shrinks during dry spells. This constant movement, combined with freeze-thaw cycles in winter, can push fence posts out of alignment. Great Plains Landscaping solves this by setting posts below the frost line (typically 24–30 inches) and adding a gravel base for drainage, which reduces soil pressure and keeps posts straight.

Look for horizontal cracks, bulging sections, or water pooling behind the wall. In Edmond’s climate, improper drainage can cause hydrostatic pressure that pushes walls outward. Great Plains Landscaping offers concrete repair and new installations with proper weep holes and gravel backfill to prevent future shifting, keeping your property safe and level.

Yes. A sagging gate is often caused by a warped frame or loose hinge posts in the shifting clay soil. We repair or replace the gate using pressure-treated lumber or steel posts set in concrete, and we adjust the hinges for a smooth swing. For homes near Edmond’s older neighborhoods like Fink Park, we also reinforce the latch area to ensure long-term alignment.
