Kelbert Lawn And Landscaping | Reliable Commercial Fencing in Monroe, MI

This is a common sign of frost heave in Monroe’s clay soil. When the ground freezes and thaws, it shifts the soil, pushing posts upward and out of alignment. At Kelbert Lawn And Landscaping, we solve this by trench digging to a depth below the frost line (typically 36–48 inches in Monroe), then backfilling with gravel for drainage. This keeps your posts stable year-round.

Monroe’s heavy rain can saturate clay soil, causing it to expand and push against fence posts. Our excavation services remove unstable topsoil and create a proper base with compacted gravel or concrete. This ensures your fence stays level and secure, even after the spring thaw near the River Raisin or in low-lying neighborhoods like Woodland Beach.

The solution is to re-set the posts properly. We excavate around the leaning post, remove the loose soil, dig a deeper trench below the frost line, and replace the post with a concrete or gravel base. This prevents future movement and restores your fence’s stability—perfect for Monroe’s changing seasons.
