T&J fencing | Professional Privacy Fence Installation in Clovis, CA

The main cause is the dry, expansive clay soil common in Clovis. As the ground shrinks during dry spells, the soil pulls away from the post, creating gaps that lead to wobbling or leaning. T&J Fencing solves this by removing the unstable post, digging a deeper hole, and setting it in concrete that extends below the frost line. This anchors the post firmly, preventing future shifting even in our local soil conditions.

Common signs include a gate that sags, drags on the ground, or won't latch properly. You might also notice rusted hinges or a squeaky, loose handle. Yes, T&J Fencing can replace worn-out hinges, latches, and even the entire gate if needed. We use heavy-duty, weather-resistant hardware designed to handle Clovis's heat and dry conditions, so your gate stays functional for years.

After repairing a post, we use a specific technique: we dig a wide, deep hole and pour a concrete collar around the base. This creates a stable footing that resists the soil's natural movement. We also ensure proper drainage around the post to minimize soil expansion and contraction. For extra stability in high-wind areas near neighborhoods like Pinedale or Buchanan, we may recommend adding a gravel backfill around the concrete.
