What's different about fences in Antioch
Older fences in established neighborhoods
Antioch is one of the oldest towns in the region. Homes in its older neighborhoods often have fences that have been patched for decades, with mixed materials and posts of every age.
Hillside and sloped lots in south Antioch
Fences that step down a slope, or sit on top of a retaining wall, need footings that account for the grade. Soil pushing downhill is a common cause of leaning.
Wind off the river
Neighborhoods closer to the San Joaquin River and the open areas around town get steady breezes that load up solid fences.
Newer subdivisions with shared fences
Southeast Antioch's newer tracts look a lot like Brentwood's, with shared good neighbor fences that are now old enough for posts to fail.
Repairing older Antioch fences
In older parts of Antioch, it's common to find a fence that's really three fences: original posts, a replaced section from twenty years ago, and newer boards nailed over the gaps. Repairs there start with figuring out what's worth keeping. Sometimes that's most of it; sometimes a section replacement is cleaner than patching again.
Fences on slopes
On sloped lots, fences are usually built in stepped sections or racked to follow the grade. Either way, the downhill posts carry more load, and soil and water moving downhill push on the fence. When a hillside fence starts to lean, the fix may involve deeper posts, better drainage, or addressing soil piled against the boards.
Fence on a retaining wall?
If your fence sits on or right behind a retaining wall and the wall is cracking or leaning, get the wall looked at first. Fixing the fence won't hold if the wall is moving.
Newer neighborhoods off Lone Tree Way and Deer Valley
The newer subdivisions in southeast Antioch share the same issues as neighboring Brentwood: fences from the original build, lawn sprinklers soaking the bottoms, and posts reaching the end of their life around the same time. Fence post repair is the most common fix.

Fence repair in Antioch: common questions
Which Antioch areas do you serve?
All of Antioch, in both 94509 and 94531. Requests go to a local contractor who also works in Brentwood and Oakley.
Can an old patched fence be repaired again, or should it be replaced?
It depends on the posts. If most are solid, targeted repairs still make sense. If posts of different ages are failing throughout, replacing the section usually costs less over time.
My fence is on a slope and leaning downhill. What causes that?
Usually soil and water pushing downhill against weakened posts. The repair often includes deeper footings on the downhill side and moving any soil that's piled against the fence.
