Residential Fencing Terrell TX | Call Lopez Landscape Construcción

Look for leaning fence posts, loose or missing pickets, and gaps where panels have separated from the rails. After a strong windstorm, you might also notice sagging gates or visible cracks in the wood. If your fence suddenly looks uneven or the gate drags on the ground, it's a sign the structure may have shifted.

Tree roots can push against concrete footings or warp the bottom of wooden posts, while climbing vines like ivy trap moisture against the fence, leading to rot. Overgrown shrubs can also rub against pickets, wearing down paint and creating entry points for insects. Over time, this weakens the fence and makes it more vulnerable to wind damage.

The best solution starts with removing the damaged section and resetting the posts with concrete that reaches below the frost line. We then replace any rotted or warped pickets, using pressure-treated lumber or durable metal brackets for extra strength. For areas with frequent wind, upgrading to thicker gauge steel posts or adding wind screens can help prevent future issues.
