Tzun’s Lawn & Landscaping | Best Privacy Fence Installation in Albany, GA

Albany's clay-heavy soil tends to expand when wet, then shrink as it dries. This shifting can loosen the soil around fence posts, causing them to tilt. Continuous ground movement after storms, especially in low-lying areas near Flint River, often leads to leaning posts.

Signs include the gate scraping the ground, unusual motor strain or noise, uneven gaps between the gate and post, or the gate not closing fully. Catching these early prevents further damage to the gate track and motor.

For lasting results, combine fence repair with weatherproofing. First, reset any leaning posts in concrete or install gravel drains to improve drainage. Then, apply a high-quality stain or sealant to protect the wood from moisture and sun damage. Regular maintenance keeps the fence stable through Albany's humid summers and wet winters.
