JB's Mowing and Plowing - Baldwinsville's Expert Fence Contractors

In Baldwinsville, the freeze-thaw cycles common in Central New York often shift the soil, loosening fence posts. Heavy, wet snow and spring rain can also rot untreated wood posts at ground level. Combined with wind and the weight of a gate, this causes the fence to tilt and the gate to drag or not latch. JB's Mowing and Plowing can diagnose whether the problem is a shifting post or a worn hinge.

If the posts are rotted or cracked below the frost line, repair may not be a permanent fix. However, if the posts are sound but have shifted in wet soil, JB's Mowing and Plowing can often brace or reset them. A simple sign is if the fence is less than 15 degrees off vertical and the wood is solid—it can usually be saved. For sagging gates, the fix is often a stronger hinge mount or adding a wheel. We will give you a straight answer on whether repair or replacement makes sense for your Baldwinsville property.

Usually, yes. Because we already have trucks and tools for our lawn care and snow removal routes, we can often add a small gate repair or fence bracing on the same trip if the parts are simple. For bigger jobs like setting a new post in concrete, we may need a separate visit to allow for curing time. Contact us and we’ll schedule the fence or gate repair at the same time as your regular mowing or plowing service to save you a trip fee.
