Texo Fencing: Top-Rated Privacy Fence Installation Serving Woods Cross, UT 84087

This is very common here in Woods Cross due to our expansive clay soils. As the ground freezes and thaws, it can heave fence posts upward or tilt them if they aren't set deep enough. Texo Fencing solves this by digging post holes below the frost line and pouring concrete footings that anchor the posts into stable soil. We also use gravel at the base for drainage to reduce frost heave. This keeps your fence posts straight and level year-round.

Yes, gaps at the bottom and rotting pickets often indicate moisture pooling against the fence, which is a problem here in Woods Cross because of our snowmelt and sprinkler runoff. This isn't just cosmetic—it can lead to widespread rot and weak sections. Texo Fencing can do targeted repair, replacing the damaged pickets and rails. We also recommend adding a gravel trench or adjusting grading to prevent future moisture damage. If the frame is compromised, we can rebuild that section to match your existing fence.

For our Woods Cross climate, we recommend using pressure-treated pine or cedar for the posts, combined with galvanized or stainless steel hardware to prevent rust. We also offer metal post options for maximum durability. The key is proper installation—our concrete-set posts keep the wood above ground level to prevent wicking moisture. For the pickets, we provide cedar or composite choices that resist our high UV and moisture levels. This approach gives you a privacy fence that stays strong for decades, not just a few years.
