RKC Wood Care Pros is the fence contractor for the off-post military family — fast chain-link pet containment for a move-in, cedar and vinyl privacy built to last a full tour, gates and repairs timed to a move date that doesn't flex, every post set 36 inches below the Kansas frost line and through the Leavenworth County rock. Installation, repair, and in-house staining from one local crew. 400+ fences since 2021. Free estimate.
WHY OFF-POST MILITARY FAMILIES HIRE US
Fort Leavenworth is its own secure city, and the fence market around it runs on the PCS clock — families rotating in and out on 2–3 year tours, off-post in the Leavenworth and Lansing homes and rentals, needing the dog contained by move-in and the run built to last the tour. So the job here is less about the style catalog and more about timing, turnover, and the rock under the yard. We schedule to a date that doesn't move, build for the next family as much as the current one, and set every post 36 inches down — every run Built for Every Storm and every hard Kansas winter. Here's what the off-post families we work for weigh before they sign.
A PCS timeline doesn't bend, so we commit to dates and hit them. We stage the install — posts and footings first, the 48-hour cure respected, panels after — and when a move-in needs the dog contained fast, chain link can go up quick and the privacy run follows. What we won't do is rush a footing to beat the clock.
In a market of 2–3 year rotations the fence almost always outlasts the tour, so we build for the next family too — straight lines, quality hardware, a finish that shows clean at move-out. It doesn't cost more; it's about the details that age well, so the fence still looks right when the next movers pull up.
Our lane is the off-post family housing in Leavenworth and Lansing city limits — we know the neighborhoods, the rock, and the rentals. On-post quarters run through the post's own approved-vendor program, a separate process; if you're off-post, we're a straightforward local option who's worked the area for years.
No handing you off after the build. The crew that installs your fence is the one that returns to seal the cedar and square up a repair. Owner-operated since 2021 — Josh walks every Leavenworth County lot himself before the invoice goes out, on a PCS job as much as any other.
FORT LEAVENWORTH CONDITIONS
Three things about the Fort Leavenworth area shape the build more than the style catalog does — the PCS rotation clock, the fact that our market is off-post, and the Leavenworth County rock under the yards. The rotation decides whether the fence is a stopgap or a full-tour build; the off-post reality decides where we work; and the rock decides how we dig. We read all three before we quote.
Families here move on a 2–3 year cycle, and that clock shapes every fence decision. Some jobs are fast — a chain-link containment run so the dog has a yard the day the movers leave. Some are full-tour builds meant to last the whole rotation and beyond. Almost all of them have a hard move date that the install has to hit. So we schedule with precision, commit to the date, and stage the work around the one thing that can't be rushed: the concrete cure.
Fort Leavenworth is a secure installation, and on-post housing is managed through the post's own housing authority and its approved-vendor program — a separate process we're not part of. Where we work is off-post: the family homes and rentals in the Leavenworth and Lansing city limits where many military families live during a tour. That's an honest scope, and it's a market we know well. If you're unsure which side of the gate your project sits on, we'll tell you straight before you spend time on an estimate.
The constant under this whole market is the limestone shelf — the same rock condition that shapes installs in the city of Leavenworth and Lansing right next door. A post-hole digger hits it and stops short, and a shallow-set fence heaves in the freeze-thaw. We come ready with a mechanical auger and a rock bit and drill to a true 36 inches below the frost line, wherever the shelf turns up. Landmarks our crews pass: the Command and General Staff College, the Main Post, and the Frontier Conference Center, off K-7, Grant Ave, and Sherman Ave.

Board-on-board and shadow-box privacy for the off-post family homes clustered around the Leavenworth and Lansing city limits — solid cedar or vinyl cover for the backyard, with a self-closing gate for the dog and the kids.
Service details
Self-closing walk gates for fast pet containment and wide double-drive gates for the driveway — welded, cross-braced frames on deep-set hinge posts, squared so they latch clean and hand off in good shape to the next family.

Service details
In-house semi-transparent penetrating stain, back-brushed by the same crew that built the fence — the coat that protects a cedar run through the rotation. We log the date and reach out when the re-coat window opens.
Service detailsHandled at the metro level for the Fort Leavenworth area too: aluminum open-view boundaries, plus commercial and site-security fencing, pool safety fence, and fencing suited to the off-post developments. Just say so when you book the estimate — it gets added to the same walk-through and the same number.
THE FORT LEAVENWORTH PCS-TIMELINE READ
Most jobs out here come down to one question — where are you in the rotation, and what does the move actually need? Here's the read we run: the stage of the tour our crews find, and the build call it points to.
The movers are on the way and the dog needs to be contained before the boxes are unpacked
Galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link is the fastest containment there is — a secure yard up quick, on a schedule tied to your move-in date. It's easy to dress up with a privacy screen later if you decide to stay for the full tour.
A family that's here for the whole rotation and wants real privacy, not a stopgap
A 6-foot cedar or vinyl privacy run, set 36 inches down through the rock and below the frost line so it's plumb for the whole tour and still solid for the next family. Cedar takes an in-house stain; vinyl skips the upkeep.
An owner or long-tenant thinking about how the fence shows when the next family arrives
A neutral, durable spec that looks clean at move-out — straight lines, quality hardware, a finish that holds. We build for the next occupant as much as the current one, because in this market the fence almost always outlasts the tour.
A rented off-post home where the property owner specifies the material or style
We build to what the landlord or owner asks for — matching the material and layout they've called out rather than guessing. It's their property call, and our job is to install it right and to the same 36-inch depth standard regardless.
Rock close to the surface, the constant under a market that keeps turning over
We bring a mechanical auger and a rock bit and drill to a true 36 inches — no cheating the depth because the shelf showed up early. Anchored below the frost line in solid ground, the post doesn't heave in a hard Kansas winter.
A relocation timeline that doesn't flex, with a date the whole install has to hit
We stage it to the date — posts and footings first, the 48-hour concrete cure respected, panels and gate hardware after. We commit to dates and hit them, but we never rush a footing, because a cure cut short is a fence that leans within a year.
Landmarks near the off-post lots we fence: the Command and General Staff College, the Main Post, and the Frontier Conference Center — off K-7, Grant Ave, and Sherman Ave. Our crews run K-7 up through Leavenworth County constantly, so the off-post family homes in Leavenworth and Lansing are right on the route. (Knowing the difference between Main Post and the Frontier Heritage housing areas is the local tell — it comes up.)
The Fort Leavenworth area and the towns around it: the same crew fences the off-post communities next door — Leavenworth and Lansing — and it all runs out of our Kansas City metro fence shop in Olathe.
THE WORK WE BRING OFF POST
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 below-frost footing we'd bring up to your off-post Leavenworth or Lansing home. The mix tracks what a rotating military-family market asks for: fast chain-link containment, cedar and vinyl privacy for the full tour, self-closing pet gates, and repairs that get a rental fence turnover-ready.
FORT LEAVENWORTH AREA ESTIMATES · WHAT SHAPES THE NUMBER
Area pricing tracks close to Leavenworth and Lansing — a 6-foot cedar privacy fence runs about $22 to $34 per linear foot installed, vinyl runs about $28 to $45, black ornamental iron runs about $32 to $55, and chain link runs about $10 to $18 as the fast-containment option. Rock drilling on a rocky lot and a rapid PCS-timed schedule don't carry hidden upcharges — both are just part of how we quote out here. The main line-item adds are a wide drive gate and rock work where the limestone shelf sits high. Every estimate is free and fully itemized.
The estimate itemizes it all — materials, footings, hardware, any drive gate or rock drilling, and the site cleanup — so there's no gap between the quote you sign and the invoice you pay. The rapid PCS schedule and the rock work are built into the standard quote, not tacked on. See the full Kansas City pricing detail →
