Q&A

What causes wooden fence posts to rot or lean in Kansas City?

In Kansas City, repeated freezing and thawing can cause the ground to heave, pushing posts out of alignment. Combined with moisture from spring rains, wood can decay at the base. Topline Construction prevents this by using concrete footings that extend below the frost line and installing rot-resistant materials like pressure-treated lumber or cedar.

How can I tell if my fence or gate needs repair?

Look for visible signs like sagging gates, gaps between boards, or wood that feels soft or spongy near the ground. For gates, check if they drag on the ground or if the latch doesn’t align. If you notice any of these, call a local pro to assess the damage before it worsens.

Does Topline offer a permanent solution for leaning fence posts?

Yes. For leaning posts, we remove the old post, dig a deeper hole (at least 24 inches in Kansas City’s soil), and set a new post in concrete reinforced with gravel for drainage. This fixes the immediate lean and prevents future movement from frost heave. We also reattach rails and pickets to match your existing fence.
