JMA fence and landscape: Top-Rated Fencing Company Serving Casper, WY 82601

The main cause is our freeze-thaw cycle combined with sandy or clay soil. Water gets into the soil around the post, freezes, and expands, heaving the post upward. When it thaws, the post may not settle back level. JMA's solution is to reset the post with a concrete footing that extends below the frost line (about 48 inches in Casper) and add gravel for drainage to prevent water pooling at the base.

Yes, it often means the fence post supporting the gate is heaving or settling unevenly. That movement shifts the gate hinge alignment, causing the gate to sag or drag. Simply adjusting the latch isn't a fix. JMA will check the post level, re-anchor or replace it if needed, and rehang the gate so it swings freely year-round.

Absolutely. We source lumber that matches the species and profile of your existing fence—whether it's cedar, pine, or PT. We also distress and stain the new boards to blend with the weathered color. For chain-link or ornamental iron, we match the gauge and finish. We aim to make repairs invisible so your fence line stays consistent across neighborhoods like CY Avenue or Beverly Hills.
