South East Mowing - Blountville's Expert Commercial Fencing

The main cause is our local clay-rich soil, which expands and contracts with moisture changes. Combined with tree roots growing underneath posts or storm-topped branches falling on the span, fences frequently lean or buckle. South East Mowing addresses this by trench digging to set posts below the frost line and removing problematic trees or stumps near the fence line.

Overgrown tree branches rubbing against fence panels can warp the wood or metal over time. Diseased trees near a fence may fall during a storm, destroying entire sections. Our tree care services include pruning back limbs that touch fences and removing hazardous trees entirely, preventing breakage before it happens.

A sagging gate usually results from a shifting post due to poor soil compaction or root pressure nearby. The best solution is to remove the old post, dig a new hole (often requiring trench digging for a clean, deep footing), and pack the soil properly. South East Mowing can also excavate and regrade the area around the gate to ensure water runs away from the posts, preventing future settling.
