Silver Stones: Landscaping & Tree Services in Farmersville, TX | Fence & Gate Repair

The primary cause is soil movement from seasonal changes in moisture. Here in Farmersville, the expansive clay soil can shift and loosen fence posts over time. At Silver Stones, we address this by resetting posts with deeper footings and using concrete or gravel backfill designed to resist movement, providing a stable, long-term solution.

Common signs include the gate dragging on the ground, difficulty latching, or a visible gap between the gate and the post. This usually happens because the weight of the gate strains the hinges over time. We can reinforce the gate frame, replace worn hinges, or install a tension cable to realign it smoothly.

It depends on the extent of the damage. If the posts are rotten or cracked, replacement may be necessary. However, if they are still structurally sound, we can often re-set them to fix the instability. Our team will assess each post and give you a clear recommendation, saving you money when possible.
