Vinyl, wood, chain link and ornamental fencing for city lots and township acreage alike.
Plenty of Glyndon yards are still bare, and a fence is the first thing that makes one feel finished. It is also the first thing to look wrong if the posts shift, and out here on open valley ground between Fargo-Moorhead and lakes country, they will if they are set badly.
We drive posts below the frost line into stable soil instead of floating them in shallow concrete. Frozen ground pushes concrete upward over a few winters. Driven posts stay where they are put.
