MIKE DOWNS FENCING

In our Texas soil, good post depth is absolutely necessary for a strong, stable, lasting fence. Most fencing companies drill down 18-24 inches and put the fence posts there. But unlike other fencing contractors Mike Downs installs every fence post to a depth of 3 feet, no matter how tall or short the fence. He bought a specialty machine to do the work, because with Texas drought conditions the soil is cracked, loose, and expanded for the first two feet down. Mike knows it's that third foot of soil that's really solid and provides maximum strength to the fence. (He knows because he does the repairs on other fences!) Mike also makes his post holes wider than other companies and uses maximum strength concrete to lay his posts. The concrete Mike uses is twice as strong as what most other fencing contractors are using. Others often install with a weak mix of sand, rock and a little concrete. It's cheap but it's not durable. These installation practices are why our Mike Downs fences last for..
