Local Commercial Fencing in Garland, TX 75040 - Southern Clean

A privacy fence blowout often happens when strong winds catch the fence panels like a sail, especially if the posts are set in soft soil or if the fence has areas of rot. Overgrown shrubs or trees pressing against the fence can also exacerbate the force. Southern Clean can help by first clearing any vegetation that presses on the fence, then regrading the soil at the base to improve drainage and post stability. If needed, we can also install new fence sections or reinforce the structure.

Sun-faded staining appears as uneven, chalky, or lightened areas on your fence, usually on the south or west side facing direct sunlight. The UV rays break down the stain over time. One simple solution is strategic shrub planting. By placing taller shrubs (like hollies or wax myrtles) along the sun-exposed side, you create shade that reduces UV damage. Southern Clean can help select, plant, and maintain these shrubs to protect your fence and keep the stain looking newer for longer.

Poor drainage around fence posts allows water to pool at the base, causing wood rot and rusting hardware. Signs include leaning posts, soft wood near the ground, or musty smells. Southern Clean uses earthmoving and regrading to redirect water away from the fence line, creating a gentle slope. We also remove any dead or damaged shrubs that trap moisture. For existing rotted posts, we recommend replacing them after grading, then replanting with moisture-tolerant shrubs to keep the area healthy.
