U-Fence Company - Cottonwood's Local Privacy Fence Installation

Cottonwood's dry soil can shrink and shift, causing fence posts to lose stability. This is especially common with standard shallow-set posts. At U-Fence Company, we counter this by setting posts deeper (typically 30-36 inches) and using concrete footings that extend below the frost line, anchoring them firmly even as the soil dries and cracks.

Look for visible rot, splintering, or rust on metal components; gate sagging; or posts that wobble when pushed. For wooden fences, check for soft spots near the ground. Aging vinyl can become brittle and crack. If you notice these signs, it's time to call U-Fence Company. We'll assess the damage and recommend cost-effective repairs or a full replacement to restore safety and curb appeal.

Our solution involves using a post-hole digger to excavate below the affected area, then backfilling with a mixture of gravel and concrete. We also recommend posts treated for ground contact, like pressure-treated pine or cedar. For persistent issues, we install a footer system or use helical pile anchors, which are ideal for Cottonwood's arid soil conditions.
