A maker of bagged concrete, mortar and repair mixes for fence posts, slabs and masonry projects.
Sakrete describes itself as a maker of bagged concrete, mortar and repair products for home and construction use. These mixes show up in many fence and mailbox post projects. Owners in Nashville comparing DIY and professional fence installations may see these products and wonder how concrete, gravel and soil work together to hold a post.
We are an independent company and are not affiliated with Sakrete. We set posts in concrete or gravel depending on the project and the soil, and we explain why hole size, depth and drainage matter. If you are working on a small project yourself, we can talk through basic steps and suggest when it is wise to call a professional.
