Total Custom Concrete: Professional Fence Contractors Serving Riverview, MI 48193

Fence posts often lean due to soft or poorly compacted soil, water pooling after heavy rains, or frost heave in winter. Our excavation and trench digging services address the root cause by excavating to proper depth, removing unstable soil, and backfilling with compacted gravel or concrete. We ensure posts are set in stable ground, which prevents sagging gates and keeps your fence straight for years.

Yes. Trench digging can be used to install perforated drain pipe or an underground drainage system that moves water away from the fence line. Combined with proper grading excavation, this prevents the soil from becoming oversaturated, which is a leading cause of fence failure. We’ll evaluate the slope and soil conditions near the river or low-lying areas to design a solution that works with your property.

First, we inspect the posts and footing conditions. If the posts are set in concrete but the ground has shifted, we may need to excavate around the base, re-level the post, and pour new concrete. For severe cases, we replace the damaged post using proper excavation and compacted fill. Trench digging can also be used to run new utilities or drainage away from the problem area. Give us a call—we’ll diagnose the specific cause and give you a clear plan.
