JG Masonry & Concrete: Reliable Fence Builders Serving El Mirage, AZ 85335

In El Mirage, the main cause is soil erosion from monsoon rains and the area's sandy loam soil, which loosens the ground around fence posts. This, combined with wind, can cause posts to lean or shift. A permanent solution involves removing the old post, digging a deeper hole, and setting it in a concrete footer that extends below the frost line. At JG Masonry & Concrete, we also use galvanized or coated posts to resist corrosion, ensuring your fence stays straight and secure for years.

Signs of corrosion include rust spots, flaking paint, or weakened wire mesh, especially near the ground where moisture collects. In El Mirage, the heat and occasional humidity can accelerate this. If left unchecked, the fence can become brittle and break. A solution is to replace corroded sections with vinyl-coated or aluminum chain link, which resists rust. We can also install a concrete mow strip along the fence line to reduce soil contact and moisture buildup, extending your fence's life.

Yes, we can. If the posts are still in good shape, we can dig around the base, remove eroded soil, and pour a concrete collar around each post to stabilize it. For a more comprehensive solution, we recommend installing a concrete retaining wall or a gravel drainage system near the fence line to redirect water away from the posts. This prevents future erosion and keeps your fence sturdy, even during heavy rains common in El Mirage.
