Sal’s Fence Specialist - Allentown's Trusted Residential Fencing

In Allentown, many homes have mature trees like oaks and maples. As tree roots grow, they naturally seek moisture and space, often pushing against fence posts or lifting concrete footings. This is especially common in neighborhoods with clay-heavy soil, like near the Lehigh River. The roots can warp panels, crack posts, or even shift entire sections of your fence over time.

Look for signs like fence posts leaning outward, gaps between panels, or concrete footings that appear raised or cracked. You might also notice the ground around your fence line is uneven or that certain sections of the fence feel loose. In Allentown, this is often more visible after heavy rain, as the soil softens and roots expand.

Sal’s Fence Specialist provides targeted tree care services to address this issue. We assess root health and, if needed, perform professional root pruning away from the fence line without harming the tree. For severe cases, we can also install root barriers or adjust the fence layout. Our goal is to save your fence while preserving the tree, keeping your Allentown property looking great.
