Question Answers
Why do fence posts rot so quickly in Lincoln, and how can I prevent it?
Lincoln’s freeze-thaw cycles and moisture cause wooden posts to rot. Sweney prevents this by setting posts in concrete below the frost line and using pressure-treated wood. We also recommend gravel at the base for drainage and avoiding soil contact.
What signs indicate my retaining wall needs repair?
Look for cracks, leaning, bulging, or water pooling behind the wall. These suggest drainage issues or structural failure. Sweney can inspect and repair with proper drainage and reinforcement to prevent collapse.
How can I protect my concrete driveway from winter damage in Lincoln?
Seal your driveway yearly and ensure good drainage to prevent water from freezing in cracks. Sweney offers concrete installation with control joints and sealants tailored to Nebraska’s climate, plus repair services for existing damage.
