Fencing & Gates
Fences and gates with posts set to stay straight
New builds and restorations in cedar, metal and mixed materials, designed to hold up through wet winters. Most fences fail at the posts, so that's where we start.

Built for wet ground
Fence posts fail from too little depth or a footing that traps water against the wood or steel. We dig to suit the soil and fence height, and shape the concrete to shed water, so the fence doesn't lean after its first wet winter.
Cedar gives a classic look; metal panels with cedar trim give a modern line and less upkeep. Many fences mix the two to balance cost, upkeep and look.
What's involved
Property line confirmation, post layout, footings, framing, panels or pickets, and gate hardware sized for daily use. Fence height and setbacks are set by your city's bylaws, and we check them before giving you an estimate.
From our job sites
Real jobs, including the forms before the pour, which is the part you can't see once the concrete is in.
Common questions
How deep should fence posts go?+
It depends on the soil, the fence height and wind exposure. Soft or wet ground and taller fences need deeper holes. We set the depth on site rather than using one number for every fence.
Can you fix my leaning fence without replacing it?+
Often. If the panels are sound, we pull and reset the failed posts. That means breaking out the old concrete plugs, which is most of the work.
How it works
Four steps, and nothing is ordered or dug until you sign off.
Call or book a site visit
Call John, or tap Book now and send a photo of the spot with rough measurements if you have them.
Site walk
John comes out, walks the site, checks access, slope and drainage, and tells you which permits and inspections the job needs.
Plan and design
You get a clear plan, the design and a written scope and estimate. Finishes are chosen and the build date is locked in before anything is ordered or any ground is broken.
Build
Forms are set, inspected and poured. You get updates as we go and a clean site at the end.
