Hair Fences & Landscaping - Lake Stevens's Experienced Residential Fencing

Leaning fence posts are often caused by soil saturation from heavy rain or poor drainage, common in the Pacific Northwest. Over time, the ground around the post loosens, causing instability. Hair Fences & Landscaping can repair leaning posts by resetting them with concrete or gravel, and reinforcing the base. For recurring issues, we may recommend drainage improvements or weatherproofing treatments to prevent future shifting.

Signs that gate hinges need attention include squeaking, resistance when opening or closing, visible rust, or the gate sagging and scraping the ground.

We'll inspect and recommend the best solution for smooth, safe operation.
