Commercial Fencing Lexington KY | Call Pedro Ramirez Landscaping

Leaning fence posts are usually caused by frost heave in Lexington's clay-heavy soil. When the ground freezes and thaws, shallow-set posts can shift. The solution is to set posts below the frost line (about 30 inches in central Kentucky) and use concrete footings. Pedro Ramirez Landscaping can remove the old posts, dig deeper holes, and reset your fence with proper drainage gravel to prevent water pooling. We also check the posts are plumb and brace them until the concrete sets.

Yes, we can. Combining a retaining wall with a fence on top is a great way to maximize your yard in neighborhoods near downtown Lexington where lots are narrow. We first build a solid concrete or stone retaining wall, then anchor fence posts into the wall's cap or footings. This makes the wall and fence work as one unit, saving space and giving a clean boundary. We'll check local setback rules and survey markers so the wall lines up exactly with your property line.

Uneven driveways often indicate shifting soil or poor drainage, which can also create problems for fence posts. If the ground under your driveway is unstable, the same forces can cause your fence to lean. At Pedro Ramirez Landscaping, we recommend fixing the driveway first—we can repour or overlay concrete with proper compaction and rebar. Then we install the fence so posts are independent of the driveway slab, but aligned flush against it. This way you get a level driveway and a stable fence that won’t shift apart.
