Questions and Answers
Why do my fence posts lean after Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles?
In Wapakoneta's clay-heavy soil, water expands when it freezes, pushing posts out of alignment. This is a common cause of leaning fences. Signs include gaps at the bottom of the fence or doors that won't latch. Smith's Fence Service solves this by setting posts with concrete below the frost line and using gravel for drainage, ensuring your fence stays straight year-round.
What are the signs that my wooden fence needs replacing instead of repairing?
If you notice widespread rot, splintering, or insect damage—common in humid Ohio summers—it's often more cost-effective to replace. Other signs include multiple loose pickets, a wobbling structure, or boards that crumble when touched. Smith's Fence Service offers free on-site inspections in Wapakoneta neighborhoods like Heritage Trails to help you decide whether a repair or full replacement is the best solution.
How can I prevent my dog from escaping under the fence in Wapakoneta?
Gaps under fences are a frequent escape route, especially after ground settles or erosion occurs. Smith's Fence Service installs galvanized mesh along the bottom, concrete mow strips, or an L-footer system to block digging. We also adjust gate latches and hinges for a snug fit. This is a simple, effective fix that keeps your pet safe without ruining your yard's look.
