Knight & Sons Fence Company - Alpharetta's Best Fence Contractors

Gate sagging is often caused by the heavy clay soil common in Alpharetta, which can shift under posts, or by using hinges that aren't rated for the gate's weight. Knight & Sons addresses this by installing concrete footings below the frost line and using adjustable, heavy-duty hinges. They also check the gate frame for warping and reinforce it if needed, ensuring smooth operation for years.

Alpharetta’s humid climate encourages fast-growing vines, kudzu, and tree roots that can wrap around fence posts, warp panels, and cause rot. Knight & Sons recommends clearing a 2-foot buffer zone around the fence line and using metal or vinyl materials that resist moisture. For existing damage, they replace affected sections and install root barriers to prevent future issues.

Watch for gates that stick or drag on the ground, gaps between the gate and latch, or fence panels that lean. Also, check for cracked or discolored wood near the base—a sign of moisture from vegetation. If you spot any of these, Knight & Sons offers free on-site evaluations in neighborhoods like Windward or Milton to assess the problem before it worsens.
