New fences go up fast in a building boom, and we are the crew Melissa homeowners call when those fences start leaning, gates sag, or the HOA sends a letter about a fence that no longer meets community standards.

Fencing in Melissa: what local conditions demand
The open land along US 75 funnels wind straight into Melissa subdivisions, and spring storms test every fence on an exposed lot. Builder-grade fences with shallow posts are the first to go. We rebuild with deeper concrete footings and wind-aware styles, and we will tell you plainly when a storm-damaged fence is worth saving and when it is not.
Expansive clay soil is the slow killer. It swells with spring rain and shrinks in the August heat, working posts loose year after year. Our posts go deeper than the builder standard, and steel posts are the best long-term defense against the lean.
Melissa's newer plats use drainage swales between lots, and fences that block those swales cause water problems and rot from the bottom up. We plan fence lines around drainage flow. Most Melissa HOAs also require architectural approval with rules on height, material, and stain, and we help with that submittal.
