Stepped and racked panels to match grade
Uneven lots need stepped panels or racked pickets to follow the slope — not a level install that leaves gaps at the bottom. We choose the right approach on site based on how steep the grade runs.
RKC Wood Care Pros builds fences in Tonganoxie — cedar privacy, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental iron. We step panels to follow grade and tighten spacing on wind-exposed hilltop runs. Based in Olathe, about 30 minutes east. Free estimate.
WHY TONGIE HOMEOWNERS CALL US
Tonganoxie is rural transition country — larger lots, uneven terrain, longer fence runs, and wind exposure that flat suburban installs weren\'t built for. The install details that matter here are different from the ones that matter in Olathe, and we adjust accordingly.
Uneven lots need stepped panels or racked pickets to follow the slope — not a level install that leaves gaps at the bottom. We choose the right approach on site based on how steep the grade runs.
400 to 1,000 linear feet of fence needs expansion-joint rail connections and tighter post spacing on wind-exposed sections. Small ground movements don\'t rack the whole run when the install is built for that scale.
The 2-year stain cycle is handled by the same crew that installed the fence. Long cedar perimeter runs on acreage need to be on a schedule — and we keep it.
TONGANOXIE CONDITIONS
Two conditions show up on almost every Tongie job: the terrain isn\'t flat and the runs are long. Both require install adjustments that don\'t show up on a standard suburban fence quote.
Level installs on sloped ground leave triangular bottom gaps that invite pests and let pets slip under. Stepped panels drop each section to follow the grade; racked panels angle the pickets. Both solve the gap — we pick based on what looks right for the lot.
A small misalignment per post multiplies over 500 feet. Expansion-joint rail connections, tighter post spacing on wind-exposed sections, and consistent concrete volume across every hole are the installation details that hold a long run together over years.

Service detailsTONGANOXIE PRICING CONTEXT
A 6-foot cedar privacy fence in Tonganoxie runs about $22 to $32 per linear foot installed. Because perimeter runs are long on acreage lots, full-lot fences commonly reach $10,000 to $25,000. Pressure-treated pine at $18 to $26 per foot is a common alternative for longer perimeter runs. Chain link runs lower. Every estimate is free, on-site, and itemized.
