Picket & Post Fencing | Experienced Fence Builders in Conway, AR

The primary cause is saturated clay soil, common in Conway, which softens the ground around wooden or metal posts. Signs include visible tilting, gaps between the fence and gate, or a spongy feel when you push against a post. If you notice a post moving slightly when you press on it, the soil has likely weakened around the base.

Often, we can repair specific sections by extracting the old, compromised posts and setting new, pressure-treated posts in concrete footings that extend below the frost line. We assess each fence for rot or rust damage first. If the rails and pickets are still sound, a targeted post replacement is a cost-effective fix for aging fence systems.

For a fence with multiple failing posts, we recommend a phased replacement. We start by installing new posts at critical stress points, then replace the remaining posts over time, or opt for a full system upgrade with galvanized steel set in concrete. This approach prevents further leaning and extends the fence's life by 15 to 20 years, regardless of the heavy rainfall typical in Conway.
