Q&A

My fence posts are leaning after recent heavy rain. What causes this, and how can you fix it?

The clay-rich soil in Christiana expands when it gets wet, then shrinks as it dries. This constant shifting can loosen the ground around your fence posts, causing them to lean or sag over time. We can inspect your fence to determine if the posts need to be reset with concrete or replaced entirely. For severe damage, we offer fence repair services that realign posts and re-secure them to handle our local soil conditions. We also recommend weatherproofing treatments to protect the wood from moisture, which can prevent future movement.

I'm seeing small cracks in my concrete driveway. Is this a sign of bigger problems with the clay soil underneath?

Yes, those cracks can be a sign of unstable soil beneath your driveway. The same clay soil that affects fences can also cause concrete to settle and crack over time. We suggest having it evaluated before it turns into a trip hazard or gets worse. If needed, we can perform earthmoving or regrading to improve the base and drainage, then install a new driveway construction that's properly compacted to resist shifting. For minor cracks, we can provide targeted repairs. Early action helps you avoid a full replacement down the road.

How often should I prune my trees near my house to keep them safe from storm damage?

In Christiana, where we get thunderstorms and occasional high winds, we recommend having your trees assessed at least once a year, ideally in early spring or fall. Pruning removes weak, dead, or overextended branches that can break off during a storm and damage your roof, fence, or deck. Our tree pruning and trimming service focuses on structural health and safety, not just aesthetics. If a tree is already damaged or poses a risk, we also handle tree removal and stump removal. For mature trees, an arborist can suggest a care plan to keep them strong through our local weather extremes.
