What Eastern NC Soil Means for Your Fence
Sandy loam is common throughout this portion of Johnston County. While it drains well, it provides less natural support than heavier clay soils. That’s why we use footing sizes appropriate for the conditions we encounter on site.
Many properties around Micro also have greater wind exposure due to open fields and fewer natural barriers. Proper post depth and installation techniques help create a fence that remains stable through changing weather conditions.
Because local soil conditions can vary from one property to the next, we adjust our installation approach based on the ground we actually encounter rather than relying on a standard formula.
