Fence Installers in Clive Iowa

Clive Creeks and Trees Twist a Weak Line

Clive is a long, narrow city built along Walnut Creek, and the Greenbelt Trail that follows it runs behind a lot of backyards. Those lots back onto floodplain: low, wet ground with mature cottonwoods and silver maples, where posts set in soil rot at grade and roots push fence lines out of true.

The established neighborhoods between Hickman and University are 70s and 80s homes with 30- and 40-year-old fences at the end of their lives, often on lots that slope toward the creek. West of 128th and out past Alice's Road, Clive looks like Waukee — new construction on graded fill with HOA covenants and open wind exposure.

On Greenbelt lots we set posts in crowned concrete well below grade and use treated posts under cedar panels so wet ground can't reach the wood. On slopes we rack or step panels to close the bottom gap. And because Clive fences are so visible from the trail, we take extra care that the back side of the fence is as clean as the front.

If any of this sounds like your yard, tell us what you're seeing and we'll come walk the line. No pressure, no jargon — just a clear plan and a fair price.

Clive backyards along the Greenbelt Trail sit on low, wet creek ground. Treated posts in crowned concrete keep cedar fences off the moisture.
