Frequently Asked Questions
What causes fence posts to lean or heave in Grand Rapids?
The main cause is frost heave, where water in the soil freezes and expands, pushing posts upward. This is common in Grand Rapids due to our freeze-thaw cycles. Poor drainage or shallow post holes worsen the problem.
How can I tell if my fence has frost damage?
Signs include leaning posts, gaps between fence panels and the ground, and doors that no longer close properly. You might also notice cracked concrete around post bases or splintered wood near the soil line.
What's the best solution for a fence damaged by Grand Rapids winters?
We recommend replacing damaged posts with concrete-set, pressure-treated lumber or vinyl posts set below the frost line (about 42 inches). This prevents future heaving and extends your fence's life. We also install drainage gravel around posts to reduce moisture buildup.
