RKC Wood Care Pros is a fence company built for Peculiar's new-construction wave — first-time 6-foot cedar and vinyl privacy across Fox Haven, Prairie Ridge, and Schug Farms, set on posts sunk 36 inches deep so the open Cass County prairie wind can't lean them. Installation, repair, and in-house staining from one crew. 400+ fences since 2021. Free estimate.
WHY PECULIAR HOMEOWNERS HIRE US
Peculiar is the Ray-Pec new frontier — brand-new subdivisions on open prairie, full of young families putting up their first fence as soon as the sod is down. Building a first fence that survives that open wind is a different job than stapling up a builder-grade panel, and it's the work our crews run most weeks across the southern metro. Here's what Peculiar owners tend to weigh when they pick us.
Out here the wind writes the spec. Peculiar's new subdivisions sit on stripped prairie with no mature trees to slow a gust, so the footing — not the boards — is what keeps a fence upright. Every post drops 36 inches into wet concrete on a belled base, below the frost line and past the disturbed builder fill. The job we get called for most out here is straightening someone else's 18-inch post the wind already won.
A first fence on fresh construction has an order to it — grade set, sod down or deliberately timed before it, fence in, stain 30 days later. We walk the lot, confirm the grading is final, and schedule around your builder so the crew has clean access and you're not setting posts in ground that's still going to move.
All those bare cedar fences around the new subdivisions are waiting on one thing: the wood has to dry about 30 days before stain will soak in. We keep that finish in-house — first coat a month out, then back on a two-to-three-year cycle. One company tracks it, so the fence doesn't sit gray and forgotten the way a handed-off job does.
When a new Peculiar block fences in over a season or two, you want the neighbor's line to match yours and the gate to actually work. We cover the full lineup — cedar, vinyl, chain link, iron, and gates — so the same crew that set your run can match it next door, from the first estimate to the final board.
LOCAL CONDITIONS
Peculiar is the next big wave of growth south of Raymore — new homes on open Cass County prairie, where one factor outweighs all the rest: the wind. Two things about the ground and the exposure, plus one about fresh cedar, decide more than the style catalog ever will. They're what we plan every Peculiar install around.
This is the single factor that separates a Peculiar install from one closer to the metro core. The new subdivisions sit on unsheltered former prairie with no mature trees, and the wind off the southern plains works a fence relentlessly. A post set 18 inches deep leans in a couple of winters no matter how nice the boards are. Ours go the full 36 inches in wet-poured concrete with a belled base — sized for the wind first, the style second.
A brand-new Peculiar lot is a working construction site smoothed over — the topsoil got stripped, pushed, and re-spread during the build, and that loose fill settles unevenly through its first year over the same heavy clay the whole metro sits on. Set a post shallow in ground that's still settling and you've stacked two problems: soft fill below, prairie wind above. Our augers go 36 inches to reach undisturbed ground and lock the footing below the frost line — the depth that ignores whatever the top foot of a raw new lot decides to do.
The bare, un-stained cedar you see all over Peculiar isn't neglect — it's timing. Cedar installed on a fresh build needs roughly 30 days to dry down before stain will penetrate instead of beading on the surface. We build the fence, then come back at the 30-day mark for the first coat and log the re-seal window. Because the same crew handles both, the finish is one continuous job rather than a fence left gray waiting on a separate stain outfit.
FENCE AND GATE SERVICES IN PECULIAR
RKC installs and repairs every type of fence — wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental iron, aluminum, and commercial security — plus custom gates and in-house staining. The services below each have a dedicated Peculiar page — the material installs, plus repair, staining, and gates. Each links to local pricing, the wind-and-clay notes for the new subdivisions, and project photos.
6-foot cedar privacy is the first thing most new Peculiar builds ask for — board-on-board and dog-ear across Fox Haven, Prairie Ridge, and Schug Farms, set on 36-inch posts so the prairie wind can't walk them out of plumb. First stain coat at 30 days is on us.
Peculiar details
White and tan UV-stabilized vinyl with aluminum-insert reinforcement — the clean, no-stain-weekend pick that's climbing fast with the young families moving into the new subdivisions. Reinforced rails matter on these open, wind-exposed lots.
Peculiar details
Galvanized and black vinyl-coated mesh for pet runs, acreage lines, and the larger parcels out past the new subdivision grid — plus the swap-out for the aging end-of-life runs in the older central Peculiar pockets.
Peculiar details
Board-on-board, shadow box, or vinyl privacy priced side by side on one estimate. With zero windbreak off the southern plains, post depth is the line that decides whether a new privacy fence stands straight past its third winter.
Peculiar details
Wind-lean post resets are the call we run most in Peculiar — a builder-grade or DIY fence set too shallow, tipping after a couple of prairie winters. We pull the post, dig fresh, re-pour to 36 inches, and rebuild the run the way it should have gone in.
Peculiar details
Walk gates, double-drive, and sliding — welded steel frames with diagonal cross-bracing and hinge posts buried the full 36 inches. Hardware rated well above the gate weight, so a wide new-build driveway gate doesn't sag by the next spring.
Peculiar details
Spray-and-back-brush penetrating stain applied by the same crew that built the fence — the reason those un-stained new-cedar runs all over Peculiar eventually get finished right. First coat about 30 days out, then on a two-to-three-year rhythm.
Peculiar detailsAlso serving Peculiar across the metro: we install aluminum, ornamental iron, pool, and commercial fencing — the prairie-view rear lines and the growing retail perimeters along Peculiar Way and I-49 — plus fencing styled for HOA neighborhoods. Ask when you book your estimate.
PECULIAR NEIGHBORHOODS
From Fox Haven's fresh-sod first fences to The Village's chain-link-to-privacy upgrades, what stage a Peculiar subdivision is at changes the whole install. Consider this the working map: each part of Peculiar, where it is in its build-out, and what that means for how we set the fence.
Active expansion — fresh-sod first fences
One of Peculiar's fastest new-expansion subdivisions, with homes still finishing and yards going in behind them. Most fences here are first fences — 6-foot cedar or vinyl privacy dropped in right after the sod. The lots are wide open with no mature trees yet, so post depth is the whole conversation before we ever talk style.
Open-prairie new build — wind exposure at its worst
Wide-open prairie lots, true to the name, and the most wind-exposed corner of the city. New-construction cedar and vinyl privacy dominate, and every install here turns on the footing. Bell-bottom posts, 36 inches down in wet-poured concrete, no exceptions — the wind off the southern plains is relentless on these unsheltered runs.
Built-out phase — first fences & builder-grade replacement
Established 0.25-to-0.35-acre lots, mostly flat with heavy clay underneath. Some yards are getting their first fence a few years after move-in; others are swapping out a thin builder-grade run that never held. Cedar privacy leads, with pressure-treated pine on the longer edge lines where curb appeal isn't the priority.
Newer expansion grid — new-build cedar default
The expansion grid running along Peculiar Way. Cedar privacy is the new-build default here; cedar shadow box and black ornamental aluminum turn up on the premium parcels and the prairie-view rear lines. Same flat clay, same open wind, same 36-inch post-depth standard as the rest of the new subdivisions.
Established core — chain-link-to-privacy upgrades
The older central pocket close to the original downtown — the one part of Peculiar that isn't fresh construction. Older chain-link runs are reaching end of life and getting replaced with 6-foot wood privacy. Smaller in-town parcels, mature trees in spots, and installs that run a little longer than the open new-build lots.
Fast-growth mixed-use — residential + light commercial
The mixed-use spine moving fast toward Belton and Raymore — residential cedar on the newer developments, perimeter and utility fencing near the I-49 interchange, and custom gate work on the larger homestead lots. Growth keeps pushing north and west, and the fence mix follows it.
Landmarks near the Peculiar lots we fence: Raisbeck Park, the Peculiar Lions Club Park, the "Peculiar" water tower, Ray-Pec High School, and the Peculiar Way expansion corridor — off I-49, M-J, M-YY, Peculiar Way, and School Road. Our crews run into Cass County regularly for jobs here; if you're near any of these, you're on the route.
Peculiar and the towns next door: the same crew fences the Cass County line around it — Raymore, Belton, and Harrisonville — and it all runs out of our Kansas City metro fence shop in Olathe.

PECULIAR FENCE PRICING · NEW-BUILD RANGES
A 160-to-220-foot Peculiar new-build backyard in 6-foot cedar privacy runs $4,000 to $7,500 fully installed. What moves your specific number is linear footage, gate count, lot slope, and any old-fence tear-out. RKC's pricing holds steady across Cass County — Peculiar isn't quoted higher than Raymore or Belton.
You get the number in writing before anything is booked, broken out line by line — material, posts and concrete, gates, and cleanup each kept separate, so nothing lands on the invoice that wasn't on the estimate. Old-fence demo and haul-off is its own line when a lot needs it.
