Navarros Landscaping An Fencing - South Ogden's Best Privacy Fence Installation

Leaning fences are common here after significant rainfall or snowmelt, as the ground can become oversaturated and unstable. The cause is often the ground shifting around the fence posts, especially if they weren't set deep enough. Our solution involves assessing the extent of the lean and the condition of the posts. We can often reset the existing posts or install new ones, using concrete footings set below the frost line to provide lasting stability. This service is commonly needed in neighborhoods near Mount Ogden or along the bench areas.

Rot at the base of a wooden fence post is typically a sign of prolonged moisture exposure, which can happen in our local climate due to irrigation overspray, rain, or ground contact. If left unchecked, it will compromise the post's structural integrity, leading to a leaning or failing fence. Our solution is to remove the rotted section and install a post repair bracket or replace the entire post. We also recommend adjusting your irrigation to keep water away from the fence line and can apply a water-resistant sealant to the new wood.

Yes, this is a common issue in newer developments or areas with fill dirt. As the soil settles, it pulls away from fence posts and creates gaps that can allow weeds or pests to enter. Our solution involves two parts: first, we can regrade the area to ensure proper drainage away from the fence. Then, we backfill the gaps with compacted soil or install a gravel trench along the fence line to prevent future settling. This is often combined with our landscaping or walkway installation services to create a clean, finished look.
