Why fences lean, and why it accelerates

Fences lean because posts fail, and posts fail at the ground line where wood meets wet soil. Once one post softens, wind works the whole run like a lever, and every storm recruits the next post. That is why a small lean this spring is a fallen section by winter. Post resets are the least glamorous and most valuable repair on this page.

Repair or replace?

The honest test is the ratio. A fence with a few failed posts and some broken pickets is a repair, and it will look like one fence again because we match the material and stain rather than stitching in bright new wood. A fence where most posts are soft at the ground is a replacement, and patching it post by post costs more over two years than doing it once. We tell you which fence you have, in writing, before anything starts.

Good questions, straight answers

Usually $150 to $400 per failed post, reset in fresh concrete. Most leans involve one to three posts, and catching it early keeps that count down.

Yes. Material, picket profile and stain, so the repaired section blends instead of announcing itself.

Usually small. Most gate repairs run $125 to $350, rehung square with hardware that catches every time.

When most posts are soft at the ground line. We test them and tell you honestly, with both options priced in writing.
