Common signs include leaning fence sections, loose or wobbling posts, and gaps forming between the post and the ground. In Bonita’s soil conditions, erosion often causes the ground to sink around the base, making the fence unstable. If you notice these signs, it’s best to have the posts inspected and reset before the fence collapses completely. We can install new posts with concrete footings or use erosion-resistant backfill materials to improve long-term stability.

Yes, we repair earthquake-damaged fences, which often involves realigning bent posts, replacing cracked rails, and reattaching panels that have shifted. Unlike regular wear-and-tear, earthquake damage can affect the entire fence line and may require post replacement if the ground has shifted underground. We assess the soil conditions and can install deeper-set posts or use flexible connectors to help the fence better withstand future seismic activity.

Weatherproofing involves sealing wood fences with stain or paint to protect against moisture, which can worsen erosion around posts. For the posts themselves, we recommend using galvanized steel or pressure-treated wood, and setting them in concrete with a slight slope to direct water away. Additionally, we can install gravel or drainage fabric around the base to reduce soil washout. These steps help the fence stay secure even during heavy rains or seismic events.
