Q&A
What causes a wooden fence to lean in Saint Joseph, and how do you fix it?
Leaning fences here are often caused by waterlogged soil from heavy rain or snowmelt, common in Missouri’s clay-rich ground. The posts lose their grip or rot over time. At J & R Fencing & Hardscaping, we assess the soil, replace rotted posts with pressure-treated or steel options, and re-set them in concrete below the frost line. This keeps your fence straight and stable, even through freeze-thaw cycles around neighborhoods like Country Club.
I have a gate that drags on the ground—what’s wrong and can you repair it?
A dragging gate usually means the hinge hardware is loose or the wooden frame has warped due to moisture. In Saint Joseph’s humid summers, this is a common issue. We can realign the gate, reinforce the frame, and upgrade to heavy-duty hinges that won’t sag. If the damage is severe, we’ll build a new custom gate that fits perfectly and operates smoothly, just like new.
Do you offer combined fence and hardscaping services for a backyard near Belt Highway?
Absolutely. Many homeowners want a unified look—like a privacy fence paired with a stamped concrete patio or retaining wall. J & R designs and installs both, ensuring the fence posts and concrete footings don’t conflict. We also consider drainage around hardscapes so water doesn’t pool near fence lines. Whether you’re off Mitchell Avenue or near the downtown area, we’ll create a seamless, durable outdoor space.
