Top-Rated Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Holt, MI 48842 - The Fence Guys 517

The primary cause is frost heave, where the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly, pushing posts upward and out of alignment. Our solution involves removing the affected post, digging a deeper hole below the frost line (typically 36-48 inches), and setting it in concrete with gravel for drainage. This prevents future movement and keeps your fence straight.

Signs you need professional help include multiple leaning posts, a fence that sways in the wind, or gates that won't latch properly due to misalignment. If you see rot at the base of wooden posts or cracks in concrete footings, a DIY fix won't last. We assess the entire fence line to identify underlying soil or structural issues and provide a long-term repair.

Absolutely. Many Holt properties have gentle slopes or uneven terrain that can cause standard gates to drag or not close. We build custom gates that are hinged and braced to accommodate the grade, using adjustable hardware and heavy-duty hinges. This ensures smooth operation and a secure closure, even on challenging ground.
