Fence Installers in Waukee Iowa

Waukee Builder Posts Sit Above the Frost

Waukee is the fastest-growing city in Iowa by percentage, and almost every lot we fence was a cornfield ten years ago. That means topsoil was stripped, the site was graded, and the backyard you're standing in is engineered fill that's still settling. A post set 24 inches into that fill is set into nothing.

It also means wind. Waukee sits on open Dallas County prairie west of the metro with few mature trees to break a northwest gale, and the new subdivisions — Kettlestone, Glynn Village, Westown — are rows of 6-foot privacy fences acting as windbreaks for each other. The one on the edge of the development takes the hit.

Almost every Waukee neighborhood has an HOA with fence covenants: style, color, height, sometimes the brand of vinyl. We've built to most of them. Our Waukee installs use treated posts set 42 to 48 inches deep in crowned concrete, 6x6 posts at gates and corners, and we handle the HOA submittal and the city permit.

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.

Waukee backyards are graded fill on open prairie — settling soil and unbroken wind. Posts set below 42 inches are what keep a Kettlestone fence straight.
