Larkspur is wooded, rural and up on the Divide. Long driveways, gates that need to work in snow, and ground that ranges from soft soil to solid rock within the same fence line.
Every town on the Front Range has its own combination of ground, wind and expectations. These are the builds that tend to make sense in Larkspur — though the right answer always depends on your specific lot.
Classic Colorado ranch look. Marks a line without walling off the view; add wire backing to make it pet- and livestock-tight.
Pasture and livestock containment on steel T-posts or braced wood corners.
Cedar frame with welded wire panels — contains pets and kids without blocking the view.
Steel pipe set in concrete, sleeved inside a cedar post. No wood touches soil, so it can't rot from the ground up.
Powder-coated steel or aluminium with finials and scrollwork. Security that still looks good from the street.
We build every style on our fence types page anywhere we work — this is just where we'd usually start the conversation in Larkspur.
Acreage changes the maths. Split rail, wire and barbed wire cover distance affordably, braced H-assemblies at every corner and gate keep the line tight, and gates get sized for a trailer rather than a wheelbarrow.
When you hit rock at eighteen inches, an auger stops being the answer. We core drill, set in concrete, and step the fence with the grade instead of fighting it. It's slower work and we'd rather tell you that up front than discover it mid-job.
Elevation means heavier snow, harder wind and animals that will lean on, push through or jump anything marginal. Heavier posts, stronger connections and honest material choices — this is not where to save a few hundred dollars.
Posts go deeper here than they do on the flats — we set below the local frost line and account for snow load and wind, which at this elevation is not a formality.
Cantilever slide gates to 30 feet, swing gates, operators, keypads and safety loops.

See landscaping →Most Front Range municipalities require a permit above a certain fence height, and setback rules vary by lot. We handle the paperwork as part of the job. Always confirm current requirements with the Larkspur planning department or Douglas County directly, since local codes change and we'd rather you hear it from the source than from us.

A standard residential yard is usually a two to three day build once materials are on site. Concrete needs time to cure before gates get hung, so we don't rush that step. Larger properties and commercial work get scheduled individually.
We'll build to whatever your covenant specifies and can give you the material and style details your HOA needs for its submission. Getting approval itself stays with you as the homeowner, since the HOA needs it to come from the property owner on record.
Spring and early summer are the busiest stretch on the Front Range. If you want a fence up before summer, call in late winter. Fall is often the easiest time to get on the schedule and the ground is still workable.
