Matthes & Sons Tree And Landscape Services: Reliable Fence Installation Serving Townsend, MA 1474

The primary cause in Townsend is our rocky soil combined with repeated freezing and thawing in winter. This cycle shifts the ground, which pushes wooden or metal posts out of alignment. Matthes & Sons addresses this by first performing earthmoving or regrading to level the site. We then set posts into deeper, stable footings. If the problem is already present, we can remove the old fence, regrade the area, and reinstall posts in a properly prepared base.

Tree roots can physically lift or crack fence footings, while shrubs and vines growing into the fence grid can cause rust, rot, or warping. Signs include posts tilting, gates sticking, or visible root bulging near the fence line. Our solution combines shrub removal, shrub pruning or trimming, and strategic tree removal if needed. We also offer landscape construction to install root barriers before setting new fence posts, which is especially effective in neighborhoods off Main Street.

Yes. A sagging gate often indicates unstable ground under the gate post, which is common where driveways meet lawns. We can fix this by combining driveway construction or installation with a new fence section. We grade the area, pour a stable base for the drive, and set a reinforced post for the gate. This prevents future shifting. We also check for irrigation leaks that may have softened the soil. Our team handles the full scope from earthmoving to final fence assembly.
