The fenceman & Landscape | Trusted Privacy Fence Installation in San Jose, CA

Dry soil around fence posts is a common cause here in San Jose. When the ground shrinks during our long, dry summers, the concrete footing that holds your gate post can loosen, causing the gate to sag or drag. Other signs include gaps between the gate and latch or a scraping sound when you open it. Our team can re-anchor the post, adjust the hinges, or reset the concrete to get your gate swinging smoothly again.

If your fence feels wobbly, leans to one side, or shows cracks in the stucco or wood near the posts, it's likely the soil has pulled away from the concrete base. This is common in neighborhoods like Willow Glen and Rose Garden. We'll inspect the footing and either add soil backfill, install post anchors, or replace the affected post to restore stability.

Yes, in most cases we can fix individual unstable posts. If the post is rotted or broken at the base, we'll remove it and set a new one in concrete. If the soil is simply too dry, we can sometimes shore it up with crushed gravel or a soil stabilizer. Our team aims to save the rest of your fence whenever possible, so you're not stuck replacing sections that don't need it.
