WHY BASEHOR HOMEOWNERS HIRE US
Basehor is the metro's rapid-suburban bridge between Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties — a bedroom community where new home starts drive the fence business, and the yard usually gets its fence within weeks of closing. Out here the question is which tier and which material — Western Red Cedar for the subdivision street, ornamental iron for a Falcon Lakes view lot, vinyl for the no-upkeep buyer — on ground that digs fast but blows open in the wind. So we build to the tier, set every run deep enough for the exposed plains, and every fence we put up is Built for Every Storm that crosses the flats. Here's what the Basehor homeowners we work for weigh before they sign.
A subdivision privacy street and a Falcon Lakes view lot are two different builds. We match the fence to what the lot is — Western Red Cedar or vinyl privacy for the standard yard, open-view iron or aluminum where a golf-course or open-space view is the whole point — instead of steering every Basehor lot to the same panel.
Basehor's new subdivisions have no mature trees to break the wind yet, so a shallow post leans in a straight-line gust — the town's top repair call. Every footing goes the full 36 inches in wet concrete, belled at the base, with tighter spacing on the windward runs, so the fence stands plumb while the neighborhood grows in.
A fresh graded lot digs fast, but the re-spread topsoil on top is loose and settles. We auger down past the disturbed builder fill to undisturbed ground before we pour, so the post is anchored in soil that won't move — the clean flat grade gives you the speed, the depth gives you the stability.
No handing you off after the build. The crew that installs your Basehor cedar is the one that comes back to seal it and keeps it on a re-coat cadence. Owner-operated since 2021 — Josh walks the Leavenworth County lot himself before the invoice goes out.
BASEHOR CONDITIONS
Three things about Basehor shape the build more than the style catalog does — the new-construction pace, the two-tier market split, and the open-plains wind on the treeless new lots. The pace means the fence goes up fast on a clean grade; the tier decides cedar-privacy versus open-view iron; and the wind decides the depth. We read all three before we quote.
Basehor's fence business runs on new home starts — as soon as a house closes, the fence goes up. The lots are mostly flat, formerly-agricultural land, cleanly graded when the subdivision went in, which means no rock to drill and no slope to step. That's a real advantage: the install is fast and efficient, and the price reflects it. The only ground caveat is the disturbed builder fill on top, which we auger past to reach firm soil.
Basehor is really two fence markets in one town. The standard new subdivision is a sea of 6-foot Western Red Cedar privacy — the town default, with high-end vinyl a close second for the no-upkeep buyer. The premium tier is the Falcon Lakes golf-course community, where black ornamental iron keeps the fairway and open-space views wide open. Same clean ground, same wind, but a completely different fence — so we read which tier the lot is in before we spec a thing.
The catch on the new subdivisions is the wind. These are treeless former farm fields, and until the neighborhood's plantings grow in there's no windbreak, so a solid run catches real load and a shallow post leans — wind-driven leaning is Basehor's number-one repair call. We answer it with depth and spacing: a full 36-inch belled footing poured wet, tighter posts on the windward runs, ring-shank nails that hold. Landmarks our crews pass: Falcon Lakes Golf Club, Basehor City Park, and the Basehor Community Library, off K-7, US-24/40, and 155th St.

Open any card for the full Kansas City page — materials, styles, and price ranges. Whichever you land on, the same crew and the same wind-rated depth carry it from our Olathe yard up K-7 to your Basehor lot.
Western Red Cedar privacy is the Basehor default — the 6-foot board-on-board line that fills the new subdivisions, takes an earth-tone stain, and goes up fast on the clean-graded lots. Set on a 36-inch footing so the open-plains wind doesn't lean it before the trees grow in.
Service details
High-end vinyl is the close-second pick out here — the no-stain privacy line for the new-build buyer who'd rather not run a re-coat cycle. UV-stabilized, in white or tan, and set to the same wind-rated depth as the cedar next door.
Service details
Galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link for a back-lot dog run or a rear boundary on a bigger Basehor parcel — the affordable containment line where privacy isn't the point and the budget is doing the talking.
Service details
Black ornamental iron is the Falcon Lakes signature — the open, see-through boundary that keeps the golf-course and open-space views wide open instead of walling them off. Powder-coated steel, set deep for the wind, the premium look on a view lot.
Service details Solid 6-foot cedar or vinyl privacy for the backyard — the standard build behind a new Basehor house, with a taller screen on a deeper footing when a homeowner wants more cover on a wide-open lot that hasn't grown its windbreak yet.
Service details
Self-closing walk gates for the dog and wide double-drive gates for the new driveways — welded, cross-braced frames on deep-set hinge posts, squared and hung so they latch clean and don't rack out of true on an exposed new lot.
Service details
Wind-driven leaning is the Basehor repair call — a run set shallow on an open new-subdivision lot works loose in a straight-line gust. We pull the leaning post, re-set it deep in wet concrete, and square the section back up solid.
Service details
Western Red Cedar earns a stain — a semi-transparent penetrating coat, back-brushed by the same crew that built the fence, that keeps it from greying and holds the color. We log the date and reach out when the 2-year re-coat window opens.
Service detailsHandled at the metro level for Basehor too: aluminum open-view boundaries for the view lots, plus commercial and site-security fencing for the K-7 corridor, pool safety fence, and fencing suited to the newer developments. Just say so when you book the estimate — it gets added to the same walk-through and the same number.
THE BASEHOR NEW-BUILD TIER READ
Most Basehor jobs come down to two questions — which tier is the lot in, and how exposed is it to the wind? Here's the read we run on a new lot: the tier our crews find, and the build call it points to.
A premium view lot where the point is keeping the fairway and open-space view wide open
Black ornamental iron or an open-view aluminum boundary — a see-through line that defines the yard without walling off the view, set deep for the wind. It's a look homeowners choose here for the view, and it wears the open plains well.
A fresh cedar-belt street where a 6-foot privacy run is what everyone's putting up
Western Red Cedar board-on-board is the Basehor default — a clean privacy line that goes up fast on the graded lot, takes a stain, and matches the street. Set on a 36-inch footing so it stands up to the open wind while the neighborhood's trees are still young.
A new-build owner who wants privacy but not the stain cycle that comes with cedar
High-end vinyl is the close-second pick — a UV-stabilized privacy line in white or tan with no re-coat cadence to keep up. Same wind-rated depth as the cedar next door, just a different maintenance answer for the same yard.
A run out on an exposed edge with no mature trees to break the gusts yet
The footing goes the full 36 inches, belled at the base and poured wet, with tighter post spacing and ring-shank nails so a solid run carries the load. Wind-driven leaning is the town's number-one repair call, and depth is the answer to it.
A brand-new lot where the topsoil was stripped and re-spread when the house went in
We auger past the loose, disturbed builder fill to firm undisturbed ground before we pour, so the post is anchored in soil that won't settle. The clean, flat grade is a real advantage out here — it makes the install fast, but the depth still has to reach solid ground.
A new-completion yard where the fence goes up as soon as the keys change hands
A straight privacy run and a wide braced double-drive gate for the new driveway, squared on deep hinge posts. It's the fast, clean first-fence build the flat lots are made for — one crew, in and out, before the boxes are even unpacked.
Landmarks near the Basehor lots we fence: Falcon Lakes Golf Club, Basehor City Park, and the Basehor Community Library — off K-7, US-24/40, and 155th St. Our crews run K-7 up through Leavenworth County constantly, so whether you're on a new subdivision street or a Falcon Lakes view lot, you're on the route. (Mention the golf-course views at Falcon Lakes and any local knows the premium end of town.)
Basehor and the towns next door: the same crew fences the Leavenworth County corridor around it — Bonner Springs, Lansing, and Tonganoxie — and it all runs out of our Kansas City metro fence shop in Olathe.
THE WORK WE BRING TO BASEHOR
Real work, our own crews — none of these are stock or staged shots. What you see is the material, the build, and the 36-inch wind-rated footing we'd bring up K-7 to your Basehor lot. The mix tracks what a new-build town asks for: Western Red Cedar privacy for the subdivisions, black iron and aluminum for the view lots, high-end vinyl for the no-upkeep buyer, and braced drive gates for the new driveways.
BASEHOR ESTIMATES · WHAT SHAPES THE NUMBER
A 6-foot Western Red Cedar privacy fence in Basehor runs about $27 to $38 per linear foot installed — high-end vinyl runs more with no stain cycle, black ornamental iron for a view lot runs about $40 to $65, and chain link runs about $12 to $20. Basehor prices efficiently because the lots are flat and cleanly graded — no rock, no slope — so the labor is straightforward. The two things that add most are a wide double-drive gate for a new driveway and extra footing mass on the most wind-exposed runs — each written as its own line. Every estimate is free and fully itemized.
The estimate itemizes it all — materials, footings, hardware, any oversized gate or extra wind-mass footing, and the site cleanup — so there's no gap between the quote you sign and the invoice you pay. A double-drive gate for a new driveway is called out on its own line on the jobs that need it. See the full Kansas City pricing detail →
