Q&A
What causes fence posts to heave in White Lake Township during winter?
The main cause is the freeze-thaw cycle common in Michigan. When the ground freezes and thaws repeatedly, it can push fence posts upward, especially if they weren't set deep enough. Westwood Fence Company prevents this by setting posts below the frost line (typically 36-42 inches) and using gravel backfill for proper drainage.
How can I tell if my fence needs repair after a White Lake winter?
Signs include leaning posts, gaps between fence panels, cracked or warped boards, and gates that drag or won't latch properly. If you notice any of these after a heavy snow, it's best to have a professional inspect the footings and hardware before the damage worsens.
What's the best fence solution for a sloped yard in White Lake Township?
For sloped yards, we recommend a stepped or racked fence design. A stepped fence follows the contour of the land with level panels, while a racked fence angles the panels to match the slope. Both options provide a clean, secure fit that prevents gaps and maintains privacy. We'll help you choose based on your property's specific grade.
