Common Questions

How does vegetation like tree roots or vines actually damage my fence, and what's the solution?

Vines and creeping plants can grow between fence boards, prying them apart, while tree roots can push against posts or concrete footings, causing them to lean or crack. At Southern Fences Unlimited, we prevent this by setting posts in deep, reinforced concrete and using rot-resistant materials. For existing fences, we can remove invasive growth, repair damaged sections, and recommend a gravel or root-barrier system to keep vegetation from returning without harming your trees or landscaping.

What are the first signs that storm debris has compromised my fence, even if it still looks okay?

After a storm, many Riverview fences have hidden issues. Signs include loose or popped nails, a slight wobble in the gate, or gaps between the pickets that weren't there before. Even if no boards are visibly broken, the force from flying branches can stress the framing. We recommend a post-storm inspection. Our team will check every post hole, hinge, and rail for hidden damage so you can avoid a collapse during the next heavy wind event.

Can you repair just one section of my fence that was damaged by a fallen limb, or do I need a whole new fence?

In most cases, we can do a targeted repair on just the damaged panels and posts. We'll match the existing style and materials as closely as possible, often using treated pine or vinyl that weathers to match your current fence. Our goal is to restore your fence's integrity without the cost of a full replacement. If the damage is widespread or the fence is already rotting, we'll be upfront and recommend a more cost-effective approach.
