S & B Earthworks - Walton's Reliable Fence Contractors

The most common cause is the heavy clay soil found throughout Walton. This soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, which can loosen the ground around your fence posts over time. Poor drainage, especially after heavy rains, can also wash away soil support. Our excavation and trench digging services ensure we dig below the frost line and into stable ground, creating a solid base that prevents shifting.

Look for visible gaps between the fence post and the ground, cracks in nearby concrete or walkways, and gates that no longer latch properly. If your fence is leaning or you see uneven gaps between pickets, it’s a sign the posts have moved. These problems often start small but worsen over time, so it's best to address them early with proper trench digging and post-hole excavation.

Trench digging allows us to create a continuous, level base for your fence, especially along slopes or uneven ground. Instead of just digging individual holes, we can excavate a trench that provides uniform support and proper drainage. This method is ideal for replacing old posts or adding new sections, as it prevents future settling and keeps your fence straight for years.
