Common Questions

Why is my fence leaning after heavy rain?

Leaning fences in Kannapolis often result from soil erosion or poor compaction around fence posts. Rain can wash away soil, leaving posts unstable. Our solution: we excavate around the post, backfill with compacted soil, and re-install the fence. For new installations, we grade the land first to ensure proper drainage and use concrete footings for lasting stability.

What are signs that my fence posts are rotting?

Look for soft wood near the ground, mushrooms growing on the post, or a musty smell. In Kannapolis, humid summers accelerate rot. If you notice your fence wobbling or sagging gates, it's time to act. We replace rotted posts and treat surrounding soil to prevent future decay, often combining with shrub trimming or drainage improvements.

Can you fix gaps under my fence caused by uneven ground?

Yes! Gaps under fences are common on sloped properties. We solve this by land grading to create a level base, then installing the fence with a contoured bottom or using gravel fill. Our excavation and compaction services ensure the fence sits flush with the ground, keeping pets in and pests out. We also offer retaining walls to manage steep slopes.
