RKC Wood Care Pros installs fences across Smithville — from the lake lots in Greyhawke Ridge and Harborview to the rock-heavy grades on The Hills. We build cedar privacy, vinyl, chain link, ornamental iron and aluminum, plus wide boat-and-RV gates and in-house staining, and we set every post 36 inches deep in concrete — Built for Every Storm that rolls off Smithville Lake. 400+ fences across the KC metro since 2021. Free estimate.
WHY SMITHVILLE HOMEOWNERS HIRE US
Building around Smithville Lake asks a few things a standard subdivision fence doesn't. Wide boat gates that hold their swing, augers that get through Northland Rock, a stain schedule tuned to lakefront humidity — and one Kansas City fence contractor handling installation, repair, and staining from a single Olathe shop. You're not waiting on a small Northland operator without the rock-capable equipment.
Smithville is about a 45-mile run from our Olathe shop. We answer Northland calls the same business day. Most metro-wide contractors slot you into a three-day window. Our crews cross into Missouri regularly — the drive is already priced into the job, not tacked on at invoice.
'Northland Rock' stops a lot of smaller contractors in their tracks. We carry rock-capable augers and punch through the harder soil pockets common on The Hills and the higher lakeside lots — reaching a true 36 inches without pulling off the job to re-bid.
Smithville's boat-and-RV gates are often 10 to 16 feet wide. We fabricate them with welded steel frames, heavy-duty hinges, and diagonal cross-bracing. A gate that wide should swing straight five years out — not sag and drag inside the first season.
Higher humidity off the lake works on wood year-round. The company that installs your cedar is the company that seals it — on a two-year lakefront cadence, in a color we match in-house. No handoff to a subcontractor who's never seen the fence.
LOCAL CONDITIONS
Smithville is the lake-life capital of the Northland — hilly, wooded, rock-heavy near the water, and full of recreational-luxury lots that ask more of a fence than a flat quarter-acre does. Wide boat gates, bigger lots, lakefront moisture, and a water view worth keeping each write their own line into the build. Here's what a Smithville lot tends to demand, and the spec we answer it with.
Every one of these gets scoped on the free on-site estimate — boat-gate width and hinge rating, how far the lot sits from the water, how much rock is under the run — so the written quote reflects your lot, not a metro average.
WHAT WE INSTALL IN SMITHVILLE
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. Each service below links to a Smithville page with pricing, terrain notes, and project photos. Wood, vinyl, chain link, and privacy are the core of the recreational-lake market here — cedar and aluminum lead the way, with wide gates and staining close behind.
Six-foot Western Red Cedar is the dominant privacy material on Smithville's side and interior lot lines — picture-frame styling shows up on the premium lake-area lots.
Smithville details
Vinyl privacy runs popular in the off-lake residential clusters, where owners want a clean, low-maintenance finish that shrugs off the higher lakefront humidity.
Smithville details
Galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link — mostly on the larger acreage lots and utility runs, sized and braced for the long Northland perimeters.
Smithville details
Picture-frame and shadow-box cedar, set on posts augered a true 36 inches — the Northland ground runs rock near the water and heavy clay inland, so depth is not optional.

Post settling on hilly terrain and moisture rot on lakefront properties are the two most common Smithville repair calls. We also handle 'Northland Rock' post refits.
Smithville details
Custom wide boat-and-RV access gates for the big side-yard lots, walk gates, and estate entry gates — welded steel frames and diagonal bracing on every one.

Semi-transparent penetrating stain tuned for the humidity off Smithville Lake — the same crew that installed your cedar comes back to seal it, on a tighter lakefront cadence.

SMITHVILLE NEIGHBORHOODS
From the lakeside Harborview and Greyhawke Ridge communities to the wooded Hills and the Diamond Crest upscale builds, we install fences across every Smithville ZIP code. Each area has its own terrain quirks, lot sizes, and relationship to the water. Here's what we see across Smithville's major residential pockets.
Premium lakeside development. On lots that back to the water, owners favor black ornamental aluminum so the fence keeps the lake view they paid for; picture-frame cedar runs the side and interior lines. Grade change and rock near the water set how we dig.
Smithville's signature lakefront community. See-through fencing on the rear, lake-facing lines is the norm here — not a rulebook, but what owners want: an open black-aluminum run that all but disappears from the deck. Cedar privacy closes off the side yards.
Hilly, wooded, and rock-heavy. Lots run 0.33 to 0.75 acre with real grade change. This is Northland Rock country — we carry rock-capable augers to reach a true 36 inches and rack the run down the slope. Picture-frame cedar and wide custom gates are common.
Mid-premium pocket, cedar privacy mixed with vinyl. Lots run larger than the metro average — 0.30 to 0.50 acre — and mature tree canopies mean we set posts clear of the root flare rather than auger straight through it.
Newer upscale subdivision, brick-and-stone homes. High-gauge aluminum and premium cedar dominate, and a pool barrier is a frequent add-on as the luxury-upgrade wave moves through the neighborhood.
Historic downtown near the 'Hot Summer Nights' blocks, in the middle of its modern renaissance. Smaller in-town lots, period-appropriate wood picket and ornamental iron, and tighter runs than the sprawling lake subdivisions.

SMITHVILLE FENCE PRICING
RKC's per-foot pricing is consistent across the metro — labor and material costs don't vary much city to city. On a Smithville job, what moves the total is the bigger Northland lot: linear footage, gate count and width, terrain slope, old-fence removal, and any Northland-Rock labor a rocky run adds.
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, and wide boat-access gates are quoted separately by width and hardware.
