Our Story

Howard's Fencing and Landscaping serves Tuscumbia, AL, and nearby areas like Muscle Shoals and Sheffield. We specialize in fence and gate installation, repair, painting, staining, and weatherproofing, plus lawn care and handyman services. A common local issue we tackle is gate sagging from worn hinges and loose fence posts—problems often seen in older neighborhoods near Spring Park or along the Tennessee River. We resolve these by replacing or reinforcing hinges, resetting posts with concrete, and ensuring gates swing properly. Our work helps homeowners maintain secure, good-looking boundaries that stand up to local weather. With years of experience, we provide practical, lasting fixes for both residential and commercial properties.

Questions and Answers

What causes a gate to sag and how can I tell if my hinges are worn?

Gate sagging usually happens when hinges wear out over time, especially on heavy wood or metal gates. You might notice the gate dragging on the ground, uneven gaps, or difficulty latching. At Howard's Fencing and Landscaping in Tuscumbia, we check hinge alignment and replace worn hinges with heavy-duty options to restore smooth operation.

My fence posts feel loose—what's the best way to fix them?

Loose fence posts often result from rotting wood at the base or soil shifting after heavy rain. A solid fix involves removing the old post, digging a fresh hole, setting it in concrete, and bracing it until set. We also recommend using pressure-treated lumber for long-term durability. If you're near the Colbert County Courthouse area, we've handled many similar repairs there.

Can you repair a sagging gate without replacing the entire gate?

Yes, in most cases we can repair the gate by replacing worn hinges, adjusting the post, or adding a diagonal brace. If the gate itself is warped or rotted, we may recommend a new gate panel. Our team in Tuscumbia will assess the issue and give you a straightforward solution—whether it's a simple hinge swap or a more involved repair.
