North of Fort Collins the land opens up and the wind comes with it. Wellington properties often mix a fenced yard close to the house with wire or rail fence running the property 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 Wellington — 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.
The premium privacy build — fascia hides the picket tops, a flat 2×6 caps the fence, and it reads as a wall.
Clean modern lines. Popular on newer builds where the fence is part of the architecture.
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.
We build every style on our fence types page anywhere we work — this is just where we'd usually start the conversation in Wellington.
With nothing upwind to break it, a fence out here works like a sail. We tighten post spacing, set posts deeper, and steer people toward post-on-pipe on exposed runs. A privacy fence that leans after two winters was almost always under-posted, not under-built.
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.
We set posts in concrete below the local frost line — typically 30 to 36 inches on the Front Range — because a fence fails at the posts long before it fails at the pickets.
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 Wellington planning department or Larimer 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.
