Q&A
What are the most common causes of fence failure in Felton, PA, and how does Taylor's Livestock Fencing & Excavating address them?
The most common cause is soil erosion and shifting due to Felton’s freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rains. Posts become loose, and gates sag. We solve this by excavating below the frost line and using compacted gravel bases for deep-set posts. For existing fences, we re-set leaning posts and backfill with stone to improve drainage. Our equipment lets us work efficiently even on steep or rocky lots common near Muddy Creek.
My livestock keeps pushing through a section of fence near a stream on my property. Can you design a solution for that?
Absolutely. For areas near streams or soft ground, we recommend high-tensile woven wire with a hot wire offset to deter pushing. We also excavate and install a concrete footer or heavy line posts set deeper into stable soil. Our team has experience with Felton’s riparian areas and can assess drainage patterns to prevent future shifting. We’ll work to keep your animals secure and your fence low-maintenance.
I need a new gate installed, but my driveway slope near Felton Railroad Station is uneven. Can Taylor's handle the excavation and installation?
Yes, we can. Uneven ground is our specialty. We’ll first evaluate the grade and may excavate to create a level apron for the gate to swing properly. Then we set posts with concrete and adjust hinge placement to match the slope. For a farm gate, we can even add a rolling system if needed. We’ll make sure it aligns perfectly with your existing fencing and stands up to the weather.
