Expert Fence Posts in Midlothian, TX

Fence posts are the foundation of every fence. If they fail, the whole fence fails. In Midlothian and across Ellis County, the Blackland Prairie clay soil is the biggest threat to post stability. This clay swells when it rains and shrinks during dry summer heat, and that constant movement pushes posts out of alignment. A post set too shallow will lean, rock, or pull free within a few seasons. At P&S Fencing and Decking, Shawn and Philip built this company doing the work themselves. That hands-on background means they know exactly what it takes to set posts that stay straight in this soil. Each post goes into a concrete footing carried below the active soil zone, with a gravel base to keep water from pooling at the bottom. We serve homeowners across Midlothian, Waxahachie, Cedar Hill, Mansfield, Grand Prairie, Arlington, Ovilla, Palmer, Red Oak, Burleson, Maypearl, Duncanville, Venus, Cleburne, and Alvarado. Call us to get your fence started right.

FAQ

Fence Posts FAQ

Common questions about fence posts in Midlothian, TX.

Why do fence posts lean so often in Midlothian?

Posts lean in Midlothian because the clay soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, working shallow posts loose over time. Setting posts deep in concrete footings below the active soil zone stops that movement.

How deep do fence posts need to be set in Waxahachie clay soil?

Posts in Waxahachie clay should reach below the active soil zone to stay stable through seasonal moisture changes. A concrete footing at that depth keeps the post anchored even after heavy spring rains.

Can P&S Fencing and Decking replace just my leaning posts in Cedar Hill?

Yes, we can assess and replace individual leaning posts in Cedar Hill without tearing out your whole fence. Getting the post reset correctly in concrete is what stops the lean from coming back.

Do I need concrete around every fence post in Mansfield?

Concrete footings are the right call for Mansfield's expansive clay soil because they lock the post in place against soil movement. Skipping concrete in this soil type is the most common reason posts fail early.

What makes a fence post installation last longer in Grand Prairie?

Post depth, a gravel base for drainage, and a solid concrete footing are the three factors that determine how long posts last in Grand Prairie. Getting all three right from the start prevents leaning, rot, and early replacement.

Yes, we serve both Arlington and Burleson along with all surrounding communities in the area. Reach out to schedule your fence post project with our team.

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!

P&S Fencing and Decking recently completed an addition to our casita to expand the living area, and the results are outstanding. The new space feels modern, open, and beautifully integrated with the rest of our home. They also delivered a custom interior build‑out that truly showcases their skill and attention to detail. 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
