Expert Concrete footings in Midlothian, TX

Concrete footings are the part of your fence or deck that nobody sees, but they decide whether the whole structure stays plumb or starts leaning. In Midlothian and across Ellis County, the ground is Blackland Prairie clay. That clay swells when spring rains arrive and shrinks hard during the long summer dry stretch. Posts set without proper footings get pushed, pulled, and worked loose by that cycle every single year. At P&S Fencing and Decking, Shawn and Philip built this company doing the work themselves. That hands-on start means quality is not optional on any job we take. We set footings to a depth that accounts for the active soil zone in this area, so your posts stay plumb through wet springs and dry summers alike. We serve homeowners across Midlothian, Waxahachie, Cedar Hill, Mansfield, Grand Prairie, Arlington, Ovilla, Palmer, Red Oak, Burleson, Maypearl, Duncanville, Venus, Cleburne, and Alvarado. If your fence or deck project needs a footing done right, call us.

What's included

  • Posts anchored below the active clay zone resist seasonal soil movement in Midlothian

  • Concrete footings spread post load across stable soil, reducing settling under deck weight
  • Deep, well-formed footings protect your fence investment from North Texas wind stress
  • Correct footing depth keeps wood posts out of the moisture-saturated top soil layer, slowing rot

Concrete footings FAQ

Common questions about concrete footings in Midlothian, TX.

Midlothian sits on Blackland Prairie clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, pushing posts out of position over time. Footings set to the right depth and diameter resist that soil movement and keep posts plumb.

Yes, concrete footings are the right choice for deck posts in Waxahachie because the expansive clay soil creates uplift pressure that looser fill cannot resist. Properly poured footings keep deck posts stable through seasonal soil changes.

We set footings at depths that account for the active clay zone common across Cedar Hill and the surrounding area. Shawn and Philip built this company doing the work themselves, so the team knows what proper footing installation actually looks like in the ground.

Yes, we can assess posts and install concrete footings for fence repairs in Mansfield. Reinforcing an existing fence with proper footings is often the most practical way to stop further leaning.

Shallow footings sit inside the active soil zone, where clay movement is strongest, and posts begin to shift within a few seasons. Going deeper places the footing in more stable ground and gives the structure a solid anchor.

Yes, we install concrete footings for both fencing and decking projects across Grand Prairie. Concrete footings are part of every post-set job we do, not an add-on.

We couldn’t be happier with the work from P&S Fencing & Decking! They installed over 300 feet of 4-foot flat-top wrought iron fencing, along with two 4-foot walk-through gates with self-closing hinges and one 6-foot gate with self-closing hinges. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and every detail was done with care and precision! What impressed us the most was their efficiency..they knocked out the entire project in just two days without sacrificing quality. The crew was professional, hardworking, and kept everything clean throughout the process. Thanks to P&S, we now have a beautiful, secure yard where our children and dog can safely play, and that peace of mind is priceless. We are incredibly grateful for their work and would recommend P&S Fencing & Decking to anyone looking for quality fencing and exceptional service. Thank you for exceeding our expectations!

Highlights of their work include: ✔️ Clean, high‑quality finishes ✔️ A stunning custom brick accent wall ✔️ New flooring installed throughout ✔️ Recessed lighting and ceiling fan installation ✔️ A fully finished, move‑in‑ready living space Additionally, Phil’s consistent on‑site supervision represented a distinguishing aspect of this well‑run company. His presence ensured clear communication, smooth progress, and exceptional quality control from start to finish. We’re thrilled with the outcome of our project. P&S Fencing and Decking was professional, reliable, and delivered the results that we wanted, for our home addition.

P&S did a great job on a new build fence for a very good price. They responded quickly, were efficient with their work, and I’m very happy with the final product. Phillip even fixed a gate that was damaged by other construction workers weeks after the build, and did it quickly without charging. Initial quote was quick and easy at no cost. Mikie came out multiple times to walk the property with me prior and was responsive quickly to multiple changes I made. I highly recommended this company for any fencing work, and won’t hesitate to use them for any other of their services in the future
