Local Fence Contractors in Georgetown, KY 40324 - Larry Dennis Fencing & Post

Our area's high humidity, frequent rain, and clay-heavy soil trap moisture against wood posts. Over time, this creates the perfect environment for rot and fungal growth. Many standard installations set posts directly in dirt, but we use pressure-treated lumber and concrete footings with gravel drainage to prevent moisture buildup.

Look for soft, spongy wood near the ground, a musty smell, or mushrooms growing around the base. Your fence may lean or wobble when pushed, and gates can start sagging. If you see cracks or splinters at ground level, it's time for a professional inspection.

We offer post replacement without disturbing the rest of the fence. Using a post-puller to remove the old post, we dig a new hole, set a treated post in concrete with gravel, and reattach the panels. This fix is cost-effective and can extend your fence's life by years.
