Mustard Seed Construction | Expert Commercial Fencing in Granbury, TX

Granbury’s heavy clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, which can loosen fence posts over time. Combined with seasonal rains and poor drainage, the wood or metal at ground level can deteriorate faster. Mustard Seed Construction counters this by setting posts in deep concrete footings and using treated lumber or galvanized steel to resist moisture and soil movement.

Look for vertical splits or splintering along the grain of wooden boards, especially on south- or west-facing sections that get direct afternoon sun. The wood may also feel brittle or show a bleached, gray appearance. If you notice gaps widening between boards or warping, it’s a sign the heat has dried out the wood. Our carpenters can replace damaged sections with heat-tolerant species like cedar or pressure-treated pine.

Absolutely. Leaning fences usually mean the posts have lost their grip in the soil. We’ll remove the affected posts, dig deeper holes, and set them with concrete or gravel for better stability. If the fence is older, we may recommend replacing several posts at once to prevent future issues. Our goal is to make the fence stand straight and strong for years, even in Granbury’s challenging climate.
