Wood and Vinyl Fencing Lake in the Hills IL | Call Harrell and Son's Lawn Maintenance

Loose fence fasteners are often caused by seasonal freeze-thaw cycles common in Lake in the Hills, which shift the ground and loosen screws or nails. Additionally, high winds and moisture from nearby areas like the Lake in the Hills Fen can corrode hardware, leading to instability.

Common signs include gates that stick or drag, uneven gaps between fence panels, and visible leaning of the fence. You might also notice difficulty latching gates or gaps at the bottom that weren't there before. These issues often appear after heavy rain or snowmelt.

We start by inspecting the entire fence line to identify problem areas. For loose fasteners, we replace or tighten them with corrosion-resistant hardware. For alignment issues, we adjust posts and re-tension panels, adding bracing if needed. We also offer weatherproofing to prevent future damage. All work is done with local conditions in mind.
