Pro Fencing Service - Boerne's Expert Fence Installation

In Boerne, the primary cause is soil movement due to expansive clay. When the ground gets wet, it swells, and as it dries, it shrinks, creating pressure on fence posts. Over time, this can loosen the soil around the posts, causing them to lean or shift. Signs include a visible tilt, gaps at the base, or a wobbly post that moves when you push it. Pro Fencing Service solves this by setting posts with concrete collars or using gravel backfill to allow drainage, ensuring stability despite soil changes.

Look for signs like rusted hinges, misaligned gate latches, or squeaky sounds when opening. Also, if your gate drags on the ground or doesn’t close securely, hardware may be failing. Over time, Boerne’s humidity accelerates rust, and temperature swings can loosen screws. Pro Fencing Service recommends inspections twice a year. We can replace corroded parts with stainless steel or galvanized hardware, ensuring smooth operation and security.

For Boerne’s soil, we often recommend metal fences (like aluminum or steel) with a powder-coated finish, as they resist rust and are lighter than wood, reducing stress on posts. For wood, choose cedar or pressure-treated pine, and ensure posts are set at least 2 feet deep with concrete. Vinyl is also a good option since it doesn’t rot, but the posts still need proper anchoring. Pro Fencing Service will assess your yard’s drainage and soil type to recommend the best material and installation method for long-term stability.
