Experienced Privacy Fence Installation in Saint Paul, MN 55105 - Right Way Landscape and Remodeling

In Saint Paul’s climate, frequent signs include leaning posts, warped or cracked boards, loose hinges on gates, and rusted hardware. After winter, many homeowners notice frost heave that pushes posts upward, creating gaps under the fence. Animals or wind can then exploit these weak spots. Right Way Landscape and Remodeling inspects for these issues during every project, offering targeted repairs to prevent further damage.

We use concrete footings that extend below the frost line, about 42 inches in our area, plus pressure-treated or rot-resistant wood that handles moisture. Our posts are set with drainage gravel to reduce ice buildup around the base. For gates, we reinforce hinges and latches to prevent sagging from heavy snow loads. This local know-how means your fence stays straight and secure for years, even through harsh winters.

Absolutely. A dragging gate is often due to loose hinges, a sagging frame, or frost heave shifting the post. We’ll realign the post, replace corroded hardware, and add a tension bar if needed. In some cases, we install a concrete or gravel base to improve stability. Our goal is smooth operation without gaps, so your yard stays safe and animals can’t squeeze through.
