Professional Commercial Fencing in Layton, UT 84041 - Lees Landscaping & Designs

Yes, leaning posts in Layton are often a sign that the posts weren't set deep enough or didn't have concrete collars to handle our clay soil's expansion. When the soil freezes and thaws, shallow posts get pushed sideways. Lees Landscaping & Designs fixes this by excavating below the frost line and pouring concrete bases. We also check for rot at the ground line, which is common in cedar. A new install with proper drainage will fix the lean for good.

Vinyl gates in Layton often sag because the standard metal bracing inside isn't strong enough for our temperature swings, and the hinge posts may not be anchored well. As the ground shifts, the gate frame twists. Lees Landscaping & Designs can install heavier-duty steel reinforcement inside your gate and re-set the hinge post on a wider concrete pad. We'll also check for any cracked hinges or swollen tongue-and-groove panels.

That's a classic sign of wood that wasn't properly sealed or dried before installation. In Layton's dry summer heat, the wood shrinks and cracks, especially if it was installed wet or too tightly without gap spacing. Lees Landscaping & Designs uses kiln-dried lumber, applies a penetrating oil-based sealant, and spaces boards slightly apart for expansion. If your boards are already split, we can replace just the bad sections with pre-stained, dry stock.
