My tree slowly pushed my fence towards the gate and now the gate can’t close. It’s about 1-2” away from where it should be! I have cut the darn tree down but I am stuck with the gate not being able to close. Any ideas? Thanks!
Can you put a piece of wood between posts to push it back? Little by little over a week or two. The tree did not push it in one day.
You may be stuck with resetting that post after you cut the root away.

My solution would be to get a cargo strap and stake it to the ground at one end and connect it to post and determine how much tension to apply. You may have to place wedges in the ground at the post to provide a permanent solution.
I assume a ratcheting strap... For a.h.r the devil is in the details. And maybe a nice speed staker
Tools, need more tools.

You are correct. Also need a saw to make wedges. A recip to cut the roots. A sledge to pound the wedges. Laser level. Concrete mixer. Don't go cheap.
The gym has a TV on the stair climber and I was watching 'Help! I Wrecked My House' with the sound off so I missed the dialog. The home owner is in a gutted out room with a level, apparently trying to say everything is fine. The fixer, who google tells me is Jasmine Roth, goes out in the yard and comes back with a ball. She places the ball on the slab and it rolls to the other side. The text said 'leveling slab: $2500'. Sometimes lo-tech works.
