Powder-coated aluminium ornamental fence across Fort Dodge and the surrounding areas.
Ornamental fence is what people mean when they picture a black metal fence with pickets: the look of old wrought iron, without the rust, the scraping and the repainting. Modern ornamental is powder-coated aluminium, so it does not rot like wood or corrode like bare steel, and it keeps the view instead of walling it off. You see it around front yards, pools and commercial frontages for exactly that reason.
Pick the picket top that suits the house, from plain flat to classic spear.
It will not rot, rust through or need repainting every few years.
Panels rack to follow ground that falls, instead of stepping down it.
Ornamental is the one fence people put up at the front of the house, because it marks the line and keeps the dog in without hiding the yard behind it. Powder-coated aluminium panels, posts set deep and concreted the same as any other fence we build, and matching gates hung on posts sized for the swing.
Cedar and treated pine privacy fence, board-on-board or shadowbox, built straight and set deep. It is the classic backyard fence, and it is the one where a straight top line and a plumb post every time is the whole game.
Galvanised and black vinyl-coated chain link for yards, dogs, pools and commercial lots. It is the most affordable fence there is, which is exactly why the posts and the tension still have to be done properly, so it does not sag in two summers. This is one of our real jobs.
Anybody can screw pickets to a rail. Whether your fence is standing straight in five years is decided underground, before the pretty part goes on: how deep the posts go, how they are set, and whether someone called before they dug. Here is the part of the job that actually matters, and that a lot of people skip.
Most posts go about two feet into the ground and get locked in with concrete, deep and solid enough to stand straight for years. When a job calls for the most hold against frost heave, we drive (pound) the posts deeper still, below the frost line. Either way, it’s the post set right, not the pickets, that keeps a fence from leaning.
Under Iowa Code Chapter 480, calling Iowa One Call (811) before augering a new post is not optional, it is the law, with two business days’ notice and penalties up to $20,000 for digging blind. Gas, power and fibre run through a lot of yards. We make the call, every time, before a single hole gets dug.
Iowa builds to a 115 mph design wind speed, and a privacy fence is a sail. Posts sized and spaced right, set deep and concreted properly, are what keep a fence standing through the storms that flatten the cheap ones. That is what “structurally sound and built to withstand” actually means.
The words our customers keep using about us. Every review below is real and posted on our Google profile.
A small Fort Dodge crew that does fencing and the landscaping around it, and does the underground part that decides whether a fence lasts.
Every review says the same three things: quick, honest, and built to last. One customer wrote he was “confident the work is structurally sound and built to withstand.”
A real number, up front, and no games. “Honest pricing, quick work” is a direct quote from our Google profile. Built right, priced fair.
Two hard-working guys who communicate, turn up when they say, and do it fast. That is in the reviews, and it is why they get recommended.
We do the fence and the landscaping around it, so you are not chasing two contractors to put your yard back together after the posts go in.
The difference between a fence that lasts and a fence that leans is entirely in the part you cannot see. So that is the part we do not rush: the locate, the depth, and the set.
Call or text (515) 570-5537 or (515) 408-9332. Tell us the property line, the fence you want and roughly how much. Estimates are free.
We locate the line, call Iowa One Call before we dig, and set the posts deep and concreted properly. The part you never see is the part we care about most.
