Questions and Answers

My fence gate won't latch properly anymore. Could this be a hardware failure, and can you fix it without replacing the whole gate?

Absolutely, a misaligned gate is often due to worn hinges, a sagging frame, or a damaged latch. We can typically resolve this by reinforcing the gate frame with custom metal fabrication or replacing the hardware with a sturdier option. Our excavation team can also check the gate post's concrete footing to ensure it hasn't shifted. We'll assess the cause and provide a targeted repair to get your gate working smoothly again, saving you the cost of a full replacement.

What are the signs that my fence system is aging and needs attention, not just a simple repair?

Key signs include widespread leaning posts, rotting wood at the base, rusted or broken metal components, and gates that consistently drag or won't close. If you notice multiple posts shifting or the fence fabric is pulling away from the frame, it's time for a professional evaluation. We'll inspect the entire system, from the concrete footings (which may require excavation or trench digging for replacement) to the metal connections. Our goal is to identify whether a repair or a full section replacement is the most cost-effective solution for your Tyler home.

I need a new fence installed on uneven ground in my Tyler yard. Can your excavation services help with that?

Yes, that's exactly where we excel. Uneven ground often requires careful grading or trench digging to create a stable, level foundation for fence posts. Our excavation services allow us to prepare the ground properly, whether we need to dig deeper for posts on a slope or remove soil to create a stepped or racked fence line. This ensures your new fence is structurally sound and looks great, even on challenging terrain. We'll work with you to design a fence that follows the natural contours of your property.
