Fencing Company Canyon TX | Call Phelps Fence and landscape

Yes, that’s a common problem in our area. Canyon’s clay-heavy soil expands when wet and shrinks in dry spells, which can shift fence posts over time. At Phelps Fence & Landscape, we address this by setting posts deeper—usually 24 to 30 inches—and using concrete footings that extend below the frost line. We also recommend pressure-treated or steel posts that resist moisture damage. If your existing fence is already leaning, we can repair or reset the posts and reinforce them to handle the soil movement. We’ve done this work in neighborhoods like those off 4th Avenue and near the Randall County Courthouse.

We do install artificial turf, and it works well here. Canyon gets hot, dry summers and occasional winter freezes, so natural grass can be tough to maintain without heavy watering. With artificial turf, you get a green lawn year-round with little upkeep—no mowing, fertilizing, or constant irrigation. We prep the base properly with crushed limestone and a weed barrier, then install turf that drains quickly and stays cool in direct sun. It’s a popular choice for homes near the Canyon Country Club and for commercial properties looking to cut water costs.

Yes, we handle both the creative and the practical sides of landscape design. We start by walking your property and talking about your goals—whether that’s a new patio layout, flower beds, or fixing low spots that hold water. In Canyon, many yards have poor drainage because of the flat terrain and heavy clay soil. We’ll incorporate regrading, French drains, or dry creek beds into the design to move water away from your foundation. We also select plants and shrubs that survive local conditions, like native junipers and yuccas. From concept to construction, we do it all, including irrigation system installation and maintenance.
