Cedar and treated pine privacy fence across Fort Dodge and central Iowa.
Wood shows every shortcut. A top line that drifts, a post that leans, a gate that drops within a season, boards that cup because nobody accounted for the wood moving. Built right, a wood privacy fence is the warmest, most classic fence there is. Built fast, it is the one everyone can see was built fast.
The warm classic, or the budget workhorse, both built to last.
A dead-straight top line and a plumb post every single time.
Posts deep and concreted, so it does not heave and lean.
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.
Leaning posts, storm damage, a section a tree came down on, a gate that will not close. You do not always need a whole new fence. We repair what is worth repairing and tell you honestly when a fence is past it, instead of selling you a new one either way.
A fence tears up a yard. We put it back and then some: grading and dirt work, fresh sod and seed, cleanup and haul-off, and mulch, edging and planting beds along the new line. One crew for the fence and the ground it stands in.
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 Central Iowa’s 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 central Iowa keeps using about us. Every review below is real and posted on our Google profile.
A small central-Iowa 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.
The fence goes in straight, the gate swings true, and the yard gets put back with grading, sod and cleanup. Done with precision.
