Straightening and stabilizing leaning fences by resetting posts, replacing rotted bases, adding braces and fixing the soil and drainage that caused the lean.
A leaning fence is a warning. It usually means a post has rotted at the base, the footing has shifted or soil has washed away. A lean left alone gets worse, because wind, weight and water keep pushing in the same direction. Owners in Nashville call us to straighten fences before sections fall, and to fix the cause so the repair holds.
We begin with a Free Estimate and check each post for rot, movement and footing depth. We find whether the lean comes from one post or several, whether drainage is eating away at the base and whether the rails and boards have been damaged. We brace the fence, dig out and reset or replace bad posts in new concrete or compacted gravel and re-attach rails and boards. We also talk about grading and gutter outflows. A leaning fence often looks fixable from the outside, but the real issue is below ground. We check how deep the post sits, whether the concrete has cracked and whether water has loosened the soil, and then we fix the post and the cause. If the whole fence is leaning, we talk honestly about replacement.
Posts often rot at the soil line, where moisture and air meet, and a fence can feel solid above ground while failing below.
Washed-out soil, downspouts and low spots can undermine posts, and fixing drainage keeps the repair stable.
We brace the fence, reset sound posts plumb and replace failed ones with new posts in new footings.
After straightening, we check rails and boards and replace anything split or loosened.

You tell us what you want the fence to do, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We walk the line, measure runs and gates, note slope, trees and utilities and talk through your goals.
You receive a plain written scope with style, height, materials, gates and price before anything begins.
We stake the line, request utility marking where needed and set posts plumb and aligned.
We frame the fence, install pickets or panels and hang gates with strong hinges and latches.
We clean up, walk the fence with you, show how gates work and explain care.
Rotted posts, shifting soil, wind and water are the common causes. We find the cause before repairing.
Often yes, if the posts are sound. Rotted posts need replacement.
Both work. Concrete is common, and gravel can help drainage. We choose by site and use.
Not if the cause is fixed. Drainage and post depth matter.
Many leaning sections take a day, and long runs take longer.
