Around Lapoint, fence runs along pastures, ditches, corrals, and long driveways. It takes wind, snow drifts, frost heave, and the constant pressure of animals leaning on it. A single leaning corner or broken rail can let a whole herd wander, and that’s usually when someone finds out the problem has been there a while. Fixing it before the cows find it usually costs less.
We repair barbed and woven wire, pipe and pole corrals, wood rail, privacy fence, vinyl, and chain link. Most jobs begin at the posts and corners, since that’s where tension and frost do their damage. We reset posts, rebuild H braces, replace rails and boards, retension wire, and rehang gates. If a stretch is too far gone, we’ll price that section on its own.
We know how creek bottoms, ditch brush, and frost heave around Lapoint wear on posts, and we repair with those conditions in mind.
Augers, post pullers, wire stretchers, and fencing tools on our trucks let us handle long wire runs and heavy corral posts efficiently.
If rebuilding a corner brace will fix your sagging line, we'll tell you that instead of quoting a whole new fence.
Cut wire, bent staples, and pulled posts get picked up from the line so nothing is left behind for livestock to find.
Deep Creek runs through Lapoint on its way toward the Uinta River, and a lot of fence in the area follows it or the irrigation ditches nearby. Fence near water has its own problems. The ground stays soft longer in spring, posts rot faster at the soil line, and high water can push branches and trash right into the wire.
The bigger issue is usually brush. Russian olive and tamarisk love wet ground and grow straight through a fence line if nobody cuts them back. Their branches stretch wire, their roots shove posts, and they make it nearly impossible to walk the line. Before we can fix fence like that, brush clearing opens it up so we can see what’s actually broken.
On a tight wire fence, the line posts mostly just hold the wire up. The corners and ends carry the load. Every strand pulls on those posts, and the brace assembly behind them keeps that pull from tipping the corner over. When a brace wire loosens or a brace post rots, the corner leans, the strands go slack, and the whole run starts to sag.
That’s why we start any wire fence repair by checking corners and gate posts. Rebuilding a brace and retensioning the wire often brings back a line that looked like it needed full replacement. Once the ends are solid, we fix the line posts, replace broken clips and staples, and splice any damaged wire.
Corrals take more punishment than any other fence on a farm. Cattle push on them, horses chew and rub, and equipment backs into them. Pipe panels bend, wood poles crack, and gates drop until they drag in the dirt. A gate that won’t latch becomes a gate someone ties shut with baling twine, and that only lasts so long.
We straighten or replace damaged sections, reset gate posts so the gate hangs square, and swap out worn hinges and latches. When a corral rebuild leaves a pile of old poles and twisted panels, our debris hauling crew can clear it out so it’s not sitting in the pasture.
Any time new posts go in the ground, Utah requires a call to Blue Stakes first. The request has to go in at least three business days before digging but no more than 14 calendar days ahead, and the ticket expires after 21 days. Whoever does the digging makes that call, so we handle it on every job that needs new holes.
On farm property, it’s easy to forget what’s buried. Power to a well pump, water lines to a stock tank, and phone lines along the lane can all run right where a fence needs a new post. We also set posts deep enough to fight frost heave, using the 30 inch footing depth Uintah County sets for structures as our guide.
No two fence jobs look the same, so we price after walking the line with you. These are the factors that move the number most:
We’ll tell you which sections need help now and which ones still have years left. On a long pasture run, fixing the weak spots usually makes more sense than replacing the whole thing.
Not every Lapoint fence holds livestock. Around the house, wood privacy fence, vinyl panels, and chain link keep kids and dogs in the yard and give a little shelter from the wind. Those fences fail in different ways. Wood boards split and warp in strong sun, vinyl panels crack when they flex in the cold, and chain link top rails bend when something heavy leans on them.
We replace boards and panels, reset leaning posts, and straighten or swap bent rails. Keeping bindweed and kochia off the base helps too, and weed control along the fence keeps the bottom boards dry. Call (801) 669-0512 and we’ll come walk your fence with you.
We walk your Lapoint fence line with you, checking corners, braces, gates, and any brush or ditch access along the way.
Your free quote breaks the work down by section, so you can see what corners, posts, wire, and gates will cost.
We place the Blue Stakes request, rebuild braces, reset posts, then retension wire, replace rails, and rehang gates.
We walk the finished line together, swing every gate, and check that the wire is tight from corner to corner.
