Common Questions

What causes fence posts to move in San Mateo, and how can that be fixed?

Soil shifting from seasonal rains, settling ground, or improper original installation often causes fence post movement in San Mateo. Signs include leaning sections, gaps at the bottom of the fence, or difficulty opening gates. Jose Avina Garden Service can repair or replace affected posts, reset them with concrete footings, or install new retaining walls to stabilize the soil. If the damage is extensive, a full fence installation may be the most durable solution.

My gate hardware keeps breaking—should I replace just the hardware or the whole gate?

Broken gate hardware is often a sign of a sagging gate or misaligned posts. If the gate itself is in good shape and hinges or latches are worn, replacing just the hardware (hinges, latch, or handle) is usually effective. Jose Avina Garden Service can evaluate the gate alignment and post stability, repair or replace the hardware, and ensure the gate swings freely. If the gate frame is warped or posts are rotted, a full gate or fence installation may be more cost-effective in the long run.

How does concrete work relate to repairing a fence or gate?

Concrete is often the key to a long-lasting fence or gate installation. Posts set in concrete footings resist movement and rot much better than posts set in dirt. Jose Avina Garden Service offers masonry and concrete removal and repair, so if you have a broken concrete base or old walkway interfering with a new fence, they can remove or replace it. A properly poured concrete collar around new posts helps prevent the shifting that leads to broken hardware and leaning sections.
