WHY MISSION HOMEOWNERS HIRE US
Mission is a short drive northeast of our Olathe home base. We know Mission's dense older-home layouts, mature-tree root systems, and half-fenced property lines well enough that the job goes in clean the first time. Mission doesn't need a contractor who chases subdivision paperwork — it needs one who can thread a straight, lasting fence onto a tight, root-bound 1950s lot against a line that's already half-fenced.
Mission's tree canopy is an asset above ground and a challenge below. We bring reciprocating saws and root-cutting tools to every Mission install, nudge post positions within the run to preserve structural roots, and flag anything that changes the estimate before digging. No surprise change orders.
Many Mission yards have cedar on one side and a neighbor's old chain link on the other. We install new fencing on your side cleanly, tying into existing corner posts where appropriate. You're not charged for perimeter that's already fenced. Pricing reflects exactly what we install.
Horizontal slats, corrugated metal, mixed wood-and-steel — Mission's eclectic, individually-built older homes invite designs you rarely see on a newer suburban block. We've built enough of them to know how to make the look work structurally: 36-inch post depth, wind-rated panels, so the design lasts as long as the idea.
Most Mission fence contractors hand you off to a separate stain company 30 days later. We don't. The crew that sets the posts comes back with the stain. One company, one set of standards, one phone number for warranty follow-up.
THE MISSION LOT READ
You're rarely fencing a blank lot in Mission — you're threading a new fence into an old, dense, half-fenced one. Pre-1970 homes on 0.10-to-0.20-acre lots, a mature oak-and-elm canopy overhead, and a property line that's been patched and drifted for decades. Six situations we read on nearly every Mission install — and the build call each one forces.
Your cedar on one side, the neighbor's old chain link on the other — the norm on a Mission block.
We set our own posts just inside your line and tie in cleanly at the corners. You pay for the sides that are yours, not the whole perimeter.
Decades of DIY patches have drifted the old line off where the deed actually puts it.
We re-establish the true line off the pins before digging — not off the last rotted post — so the new run lands where it belongs.
Oak, maple, and elm root systems tangle the post holes across Mission's shaded lots.
Reciprocating saws and root cutters on every dig; a post nudged within the run to save a structural root, flagged on the estimate first — no surprise change order.
The canopy keeps the ground wet long after rain, and wet clay rots a post at the ground line first.
Drainage gravel at every post base under a 36-inch bell-bottom footing, so water moves away from the wood instead of sitting against it.
Narrow gaps between close lots collect water in low spots the open suburbs never see.
Footings crowned to shed water and the run stepped through the low spot, so the pocket can't heave the line over a wet winter.
A 40-foot-wide backyard with the gate landing a step off the public sidewalk.
Gate hung to swing into the yard on the deeper hinge post, so the walk clears the sidewalk with room to reach the latch.
WHAT WE INSTALL IN MISSION
Privacy cedar, vinyl, chain link repair/replacement, ornamental iron, and mixed-material installs — plus gates and in-house staining. Every Mission fence installation service below links to a dedicated page with Mission-specific details.
6-foot cedar privacy replacing the 4-foot chain link that came with Mission's older rentals and starter homes — the standard upgrade across Countryside and Milhaven, set on 36-inch posts.
Mission details
Full-height cedar for Mission's 0.10–0.20-acre lots where the neighbor's window is 40 feet off — privacy, not pet range, is the reason most Mission homeowners call.
Mission details
White, tan, and gray vinyl — the high-end pick for Mission homeowners done staining cedar every few years on a tight, tree-shaded lot.
Mission details
Mission carries one of Johnson County's heaviest legacy chain-link concentrations — we repair and replace far more than we install new. New runs go in galvanized or vinyl-coated for the longest lifespan.
Mission details
Post rot from mature-tree shade is Mission's #1 repair call — the dense canopy keeps soil damp longer than the open suburbs. We pull the post, add drainage gravel, and re-set to 36 inches.
Mission details
Walk, privacy, and side-yard gates built for Mission's tight clearances — most hang to swing inward because the public sidewalk sits too close to swing out.
Mission details
Semi-transparent penetrating stain applied by the same crew that set the posts — your color, your finish, no waiting on a second company to show up 30 days later.

MISSION NEIGHBORHOODS
From Countryside's chain-link-to-cedar upgrades to Milhaven's creative privacy designs, every Mission neighborhood has its own texture. Here's what we see across Mission's residential areas and how fence installation in Mission varies block to block.
Dense, tight-lot Mission neighborhood of pre-1970 ranch homes. Tall mature trees throw heavy shade that keeps soil damp — post-rot repair is common here. Cedar privacy replacing the original 4-foot chain link drives most new installs.
Walkable, tree-lined, and close to downtown Mission. Many yards back onto neighbors at 25 to 30 feet — privacy fencing is the priority here, not pet range. Creative, individual layouts are common on these older, eclectic lots.
Established Mission neighborhood with a mix of cedar and chain link of varying ages. 'Mixed-fence' installs are common — we replace the one or two sides that are yours while tying into the existing neighbor fence cleanly. Privacy from street noise and pedestrian traffic is a major driver here.
Mid-sized Mission residential area where 1940s-50s housing stock has been gentrified over the past decade. Younger homeowners often upgrade fencing during a broader yard renovation — cedar privacy with modern gate hardware is the common spec.
Smaller section of Mission with older established homes and mature landscaping. Post rot from shade and older-fence replacement are the typical calls. Material and style are fully the homeowner's choice.
Older homes near the Johnson Drive commercial corridor. Lot sizes are modest, and privacy from nearby foot traffic and street noise motivates most installs. We run 6-foot cedar privacy routinely here, often with a semi-transparent stain to match the block.
Landmarks near our Mission service areas: Mission Gateway (the old Mission Mall site), the Sylvester Powell Jr. Community Center and its pool with the big slide, Broadmoor Park, the Johnson County Northeast Offices, and Peppermint Park. Our crews travel Shawnee Mission Parkway, Johnson Drive, Metcalf Avenue, and I-35 from our Olathe home base — if you're near any of them, we're a short drive.

MISSION FENCE PRICING
RKC's pricing for the KC metro is consistent regardless of which city the project is in — labor and material costs don't vary significantly across the communities we serve. What affects your specific Mission quote is linear footage, gate count, old-fence demo and haul-off, and how much of the line is already fenced — on a mixed-fence lot you only pay for the sides that are yours.
Every estimate is free, written, and itemized — posts, concrete, hardware, and cleanup on separate line items. No surprises at invoice. Old-fence demo and haul-off is an add-on line if you need it.
