Ricky Harper's Fence Row | Top-Rated Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Maceo, KY

If you notice your fence leaning, especially after heavy rain or wind, or if the posts feel loose when you push against them, the soil around them may have eroded. This is a common problem in Maceo's terrain. A quick check is to see if the concrete base at the post is cracked or if the post itself wobbles. If you see these signs, it's best to call for a repair before the entire section falls.

The most common cause is a settling gate post, often due to the same loose soil conditions that affect fences. Over time, the weight of the gate can pull the post out of alignment, especially if the hinges are worn. Another cause is the hardware rusting or loosening from moisture. If your gate is hard to open or scrapes the ground, the hinges or post likely need adjustment or replacement.

We start by removing the damaged post and inspecting the surrounding soil. For a long-term fix, we set a new post in a wider, deeper hole with fresh concrete, ensuring it's properly braced to handle the wind. We also recommend using pressure-treated lumber or steel posts for extra durability. For existing posts that are still solid, we can sometimes re-anchor them with a concrete collar. This approach keeps your fence sturdy through Maceo's weather.
