Shuler Bud & Sons Fence - Salisbury's Local Privacy Fence Installation

Salisbury's heavy clay soil holds water after rain, causing the ground to expand and contract. This can shift poorly set posts. We prevent this by digging deep holes, setting posts on a crushed stone base, and using concrete that extends below the frost line. For wooden fences, we also recommend pressure-treated posts rated for ground contact, which resist rot from the moisture trapped in our local soil.

Sagging is usually caused by a loose or bent hinge, a warped gate frame, or a post that has tilted over time in our clay soil. Our team can tighten or replace hardware, re-set the post if needed, and add tension bars to strengthen the frame. In many cases, we can repair your existing gate without replacing the whole fence, saving you money.

For uneven lots near places like the Salisbury Country Club, we often recommend chain-link or aluminum fencing. These can be installed to follow the ground's natural slope without leaving gaps underneath. We also install privacy fence panels, but we will cut them to step or rack along your property line so animals can't squeeze through. We'll always check for low spots and secure the bottom edge to prevent escapes.
