RAM’S Construction | Experienced Fencing Company in Denver, CO

Denver’s freeze-thaw cycles cause soil to expand and contract, which can shift fence posts. Heavy snowmelt and spring rains can also saturate the ground, leading to wood rot or concrete footing failure. This is especially common in neighborhoods with clay-heavy soil, like those near Washington Park or City Park.

Signs include visible cracks, bulging sections, leaning, or water pooling behind the wall. In Denver, where snow runoff is heavy, these issues often worsen quickly. If you notice gaps between stones or blocks, or if the wall is tilting more than an inch, it’s time for an inspection.

Yes. We offer earthmoving and regrading to redirect water away from structures, plus irrigation and landscape construction to manage runoff. By addressing the root cause—poor drainage—we help prevent future damage to fences, retaining walls, and patios. This is a common solution for homes near the Cherry Creek Trail.
