Trusted Fencing Company in Holland, TX 76534 - Surface Scapes

Holland's sandy soil drains quickly, which can wash away loose backfill around fence posts. Combine that with our heavy spring and fall rains, and the ground around the post can become soft, causing the post to wobble. Over time, this erosion leads to leaning or loose posts. Surface Scapes solves this by using a concrete collar that extends below the frost line and flares at the bottom, anchoring the post securely and preventing future erosion.

Look for gaps between the fence panels and the posts, nails or screws popping out, or a noticeable lean in the post. If the fence sways more than an inch when you push on it, the posts have likely lost their grip due to eroded soil or rotted wood. Surface Scapes can inspect your fence and reinforce the posts with concrete footings or replace them with pressure-treated or even galvanized steel posts to prevent blowouts.

Absolutely. We assess each post individually. If the post is still solid, we can dig around it, add a concrete footing, and brace it back to plumb. If the wood is rotted, we replace the post with a new one set in concrete. For a privacy fence, we also check the panels and rails to ensure they're securely fastened. This keeps your fence standing strong through Holland's storms.
