Wenske Landscaping Fencing & Pest Control: Professional Fence Builders Serving La Grange, TX 78945

High winds during storms—common around La Grange, especially near open areas or the Colorado River—can cause fence panels to detach from posts, known as blowouts. This often happens when posts are set too shallow or panels lack enough wind load resistance. We repair blowouts by re-anchoring posts with concrete footings (at least 2 feet deep) and reinforcing panel connections with extra brackets. If posts are rotted or cracked, we replace them with treated lumber or steel posts to prevent future failure.

La Grange's extreme summer heat and UV exposure dry out wood, causing boards to shrink, split, and crack. This is especially common with pine fences that haven't been sealed. Our solution involves using heat-treated or cedar wood that resists cracking, installing boards with slight gaps to allow for expansion, and applying a quality semi-transparent stain or sealant to protect against UV damage. We also recommend annual maintenance checks to catch minor cracks early.

Yes, we frequently perform section repairs on fences in La Grange. If the damage is isolated—like a cracked top rail or a broken picket—we can replace just those boards and match the existing stain or paint. However, if multiple posts are rotting or the damage spans more than 20-30% of the fence, a full replacement is often more cost-effective and structurally sound. We'll inspect your fence and give you an honest recommendation based on its overall condition.
