Tepe lawncare and construction | Professional Fence Contractors in Cincinnati, OH

Cincinnati's heavy clay soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, causing fence posts to shift and rot over time. Tepe Lawncare and Construction addresses this by offering deck repair services that include reinforcing posts with concrete footings and improving drainage around the base. For fences, we recommend combining trench digging for proper water flow with sturdy deck materials to prevent future leaning.

Yes, splintering boards and loose railings often indicate underlying foundation problems, like poor drainage or soil erosion beneath the deck. Tepe's excavation services can regrade the area to redirect water away, while trench digging installs drainage lines to stabilize the ground. We then replace or repair the deck and railing to ensure safety and longevity.

For a sinking deck in Cincinnati, the best solution is a full deck replacement paired with proper excavation. Tepe starts by removing the old structure, then excavates and trenches to correct drainage and soil compaction. We pour deep concrete footings and build a new deck with pressure-treated lumber or composite materials, ensuring it stays level and durable through Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles.
