K and R Gate Systems - Hondo's Local Fence Installation

Hondo’s clay-rich soils expand when wet and shrink during dry spells, a process called soil movement. This constant shifting loosens the soil around standard fence posts, causing them to tilt or sink. K and R Gate Systems addresses this by setting posts in concrete with extra depth and using gravel backfill to improve drainage, giving your fence a stable foundation year-round.

After a Hondo hailstorm, look for dents or dimples in metal gates and panels, splintering or cracks in wood, and chipped paint. Chain-link fences may have bent wires or loosened fabric. Even small hailstones can weaken a fence over time. K and R Gate Systems offers free inspections to assess damage and recommend whether repair or full replacement is the best option.

Yes. When soil movement causes posts to lean, gates often sag or bind. K and R Gate Systems first stabilizes the post with a concrete base and adjusts the gate hinges and latch. If the post is beyond repair, we install a new, reinforced post and hang the gate to swing true. We also check for any underlying drainage issues to prevent future movement.
