Stane’s Home Improvement - Morrilton's Local Fence Contractors

The main cause is soil saturation from our frequent heavy rains, which softens the ground around fence posts. This can cause posts to shift or lean, especially if they aren’t set deep enough. Additionally, high winds during storms can stress already weakened pickets, leading to cracks or breaks. Morrilton’s clay-heavy soil also expands and contracts with moisture, further destabilizing fence structures over time.

Look for visible leaning sections, loose or missing pickets, rotting wood at the base of posts, and gates that no longer latch properly. After a storm, check for gaps between the fence and the ground, which indicate soil erosion. If you notice these issues near landmarks like the Morrilton City Park or along Oak Street, it’s best to address them quickly to prevent further damage or safety hazards.

We start by assessing the soil condition and post depth. For leaning fences, we often reset the posts using concrete or gravel to improve drainage and stability. We replace any broken pickets and reinforce the framework. If the damage is extensive, we recommend a full replacement with pressure-treated wood or vinyl that withstands our local weather. Our goal is to provide a long-lasting solution that keeps your property secure and looking great.
