Palmer Lake sits high on the Palmer Divide, which catches more snow and more wind than the towns on either side of it. Everything we build here is specified for load, not just for looks.
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 Palmer Lake — though the right answer always depends on your specific lot.
Steel pipe set in concrete, sleeved inside a cedar post. No wood touches soil, so it can't rot from the ground up.
Classic Colorado ranch look. Marks a line without walling off the view; add wire backing to make it pet- and livestock-tight.
The premium privacy build — fascia hides the picket tops, a flat 2×6 caps the fence, and it reads as a wall.
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 Palmer Lake.
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.
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.
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 deck work →Grading, rock, edging and the finish work that makes a new fence look finished.
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 Palmer Lake planning department or El Paso 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.
