NIAGARA FENCH POST INSTALLATION & REPAIR SERVICES

To fix a broken fence post, start by assessing the damage to determine if the post can be repaired or needs to be replaced. If the post is only cracked or leaning, rather than completely broken, Swiftly Landscaping follows a simple process to restore its strength. First, we remove any fence panels or rails connected to the damaged post. Next, we dig around the base of the post to expose it fully, making sure to clear any dirt or debris. If the post is still structurally sound but loose, we can re-set it by applying fresh fence post concrete around the base, ensuring it’s level and secure before allowing it to cure. For more severe damage, we may need to remove the broken post entirely and install a new one. After installing the new or repaired post, we reattach the fence panels and perform a final inspection to ensure everything is secure and properly aligned. Whether you need a simple repair or a complete post replacement, Swiftly Landscaping provides reliable, long-lasting solutions to get your fence back to its best condition.

The depth of a fence post is crucial for ensuring its stability and long-term durability. At Swiftly Landscaping, we generally recommend burying the fence post at least 1/3 of its total length in the ground. For example, a 6-foot fence post should be set around 2 feet deep. However, the depth can vary depending on factors like soil type, fence material, and local weather conditions. In areas with softer or sandy soil, deeper holes are often necessary to provide added support, while clay-based soils may require less depth. For taller fences or locations prone to high winds, we may recommend burying posts up to 1/2 of their total length. The hole should also be about three times the width of the post, allowing enough space for concrete to secure the post properly. At Swiftly Landscaping, we ensure that all posts are installed at the correct depth for maximum stability, so your fence stays strong and secure for years to come.

Installing a fence post is a crucial step in creating a sturdy and durable fence. At Swiftly Landscaping, we follow a professional process to ensure your posts are securely anchored, providing long-lasting stability for your fence. Here's a basic outline of how we install fence posts:

1. Prepare the Site

Mark the Location: First, we carefully measure and mark the spots where each fence post will go, ensuring they're evenly spaced according to your fence design.

‍Dig the Holes: We dig deep, wide holes (usually around 2-3 feet deep and about three times the width of the post) to ensure that the posts are stable and secure.

2. Position the Post

Insert the Post: The post is placed in the hole and positioned correctly, ensuring it's straight and aligned with the rest of the fence.

‍Check for Level: We use a level to make sure the post is perfectly vertical, as this is essential for the overall stability and appearance of the fence.

3. Set the Post in Concrete

Add Concrete: We pour high-quality concrete around the post to secure it in place. The concrete is mixed thoroughly and added in layers to eliminate air pockets.

‍Allow for Curing: After the post is set in concrete, we let it cure for 24-48 hours to ensure maximum strength before attaching the fence panels or rails.

4. Finish and Check Alignment

Final Adjustments: Once the concrete has set, we double-check that the post is still level and aligned with the rest of the posts.

‍Post Installation: The post is now ready for the rest of the fence components to be attached, whether it's rails, panels, or gates.

5. Clean Up and Final Inspection

‍We clean the area around the posts and ensure everything is secure before we leave your property.
