Thomspon’s Fence Company - Leander's Trusted Fence Contractors

You might notice fence posts leaning or cracking near the base, especially after rain. Vines and shrubs can push against panels, causing warping. Over time, roots from trees like live oaks can lift concrete footings, making gates hard to close. If you see these signs, it’s best to prune growth away from the fence and consider a professional inspection to prevent further damage.

We start by removing all rust with a wire brush or chemical rust remover, then treat the metal with a corrosion inhibitor. For severe rust, we replace hinges, latches, or entire sections with stainless steel or galvanized hardware. This fix is especially important in Leander’s humid summers, as proper sealing prevents moisture from causing future rust.

Yes. We recommend using pressure-treated wood or metal post sleeves that protect against moisture and root intrusion. For heavy vegetation areas, we suggest vinyl or aluminum fencing that doesn’t rot and is less affected by climbing plants. We also design gates with clearance away from shrubs to avoid hardware strain, ensuring your fence stays stable for years in local conditions.
