Murdock Services - Burnet's Local Commercial Fencing

Burnet's clay-rich soil expands when wet and shrinks when dry, which can loosen fence posts over time. A common sign is a leaning post or sagging gate. Murdock Services solves this by replacing or resetting posts with concrete footings set below the frost line, often adding gravel for drainage. We also offer weatherproofing and painting to protect wood posts from moisture damage.

Gate sagging is usually due to soil movement throwing off post alignment or rusted hinges. Check if the gate scrapes at one corner—that's a clear sign. Murdock Services can adjust the hinges, realign the posts, and if needed, replace hardware. We also reinforce the gate frame and can stain or paint it to match your fence, ensuring a long-lasting fix.

Yes, in most cases we can. If the fence panels are still sound, we'll dig out the misaligned post, reset it in fresh concrete, and re-hang the gate. For persistent sagging, we may add a diagonal brace to the gate. Murdock Services also offers shrub removal and tree trimming around fence lines to prevent roots from pushing posts out of alignment.
