Precision Grounds Maintenance - Dalhart's Best Fence Builders

Gate sagging in Dalhart is often caused by the heavy weight of the gate, loose hinges, or posts that have shifted in the dry, sandy soil common to our area. Sun exposure can also dry out hardware over time. Signs of a sagging gate include it dragging on the ground or failing to latch. Precision Grounds Maintenance can solve this by tightening or replacing hardware, reinforcing the post with concrete for stability, and installing anti-sag kits. We also check the gate frame for any warping that may need repair.

The intense UV radiation and high winds in Dalhart accelerate the fading of stain on fences and gates. You’ll notice the color looking chalky or bleached, often within a year or two. To combat this, Precision Grounds Maintenance recommends a two-step solution: first, we clean the wood with a brightener to restore the surface, then apply a high-quality, UV-resistant stain or sealant. We also offer periodic re-staining as part of our maintenance services to keep your fence looking fresh and protect it from the elements.

Yes, it is possible, but the preparation is key. Precision Grounds Maintenance assesses the current finish first. If your fence is stained and you want paint, we lightly sand the surface to help the paint adhere. If you have a painted fence that you’d rather stain, we strip the old paint completely using a chemical stripper or sanding, then apply the stain. We handle both fence painting and staining in Dalhart, and we’ll advise you on which option will last longer given our local sun exposure.
