Fence, Deck & Sprinkler Crew in Northglenn, CO
Northglenn jobs are five minutes from the shop. The lots are tighter, the alley access varies, and a lot of the original 1960s subdivisions still have galvanized water lines we have to flag before any post hole goes in the ground. We've worked Cherrywood Park, Sherwood Estates and the Croke Reservoir blocks long enough to know which inspector handles which side of Huron.
One foreman, one written price, one schedule. Owner walks every Northglenn property before we put a number on paper.
Tight-lot cedar and vinyl runs without blocking the alley
Cherrywood Park and Sherwood Estates lots run 50-60 ft wide with shared alley access. We pre-cut runs at the shop and stage on a single trailer so we're not blocking the alley for three days. Vinyl gates get ribbed-aluminum inserts on every leaf — the no-insert vinyl gates from the box stores sag inside a season at altitude.

Multi-level decks over walkout basements
Croke Reservoir builds often have walkouts 9-11 ft off grade. We frame those with 2x10 PT joists on 16-inch centers, ledger-bolted with 1/2-inch through-bolts, and flash with DrySpace tape under the decking. Stair landings sit on poured 4x4 footings, never on dirt or paver pads.

Sprinkler retrofits on 60-year-old lawns
Original Northglenn yards often have a single zone of brass impacts trying to cover 1,500 sq ft. We re-zone with MP rotators, replace the manifold with PVC and a vacuum breaker that meets current Northglenn code, and tune precipitation rates so the controller can finish a cycle in the watering window.

What moves the price on a Northglenn install
The lot's age, access, and what's already in the ground drive most of the swing. Specifically:
- Tear-out of old chain-link or cedarPulling fabric, snapping or excavating concrete plugs, hauling metal — itemized, not buried.
- Hardware grade on gatesTru-Close adjustable hinges and stainless drop rods versus residential surface-mount hardware. The hardware is usually the difference between a gate that stays plumb 5 years and one that sags by year two.
- Galvanized vs PVC water main retrofitIf your sprinkler manifold needs to come off a 70s galvanized stub, we swap to a PVC riser with a code-current vacuum breaker. That's a real line item.
- Deck footing depth42 inches with bigfoot bells on Croke Reservoir clay — not 18-inch sonotubes.
- Disposal accessAlley dumpster placement vs front-yard dumpster bag changes hauling cost on tight blocks.
Every Northglenn estimate is walked by the owner before we put a number on paper. No rule-of-thumb pricing.
How we run a Northglenn fence + sprinkler project
Day one we layout the perimeter off the survey pin, file 811 if it isn't already on the ticket, and start tear-out. Old fabric and posts come out clean — we snap concrete plugs at grade where digging them is risky to the cottonwoods on the back line.
Day two we set posts to 36-42 inches in 50-lb bagged concrete and cure overnight. If sprinklers are part of scope, the trenching crew runs mainline parallel to the fence the same day so we're not opening the same yard twice.
Day three is pickets, gates, valve box, controller, head install and pressure test. Final walkthrough is in writing and we don't pull the dumpster until you sign the punch list.
Our Northglenn services
Northglenn frequently asked questions
Do you cover all of Northglenn including 80233, 80234 and 80260?
Yes — every neighborhood from Cherrywood Park up to the 120th corridor. Same-week site visits in most cases.
Can you tear out an old chain-link before installing the new fence?
Yes. We pull the fabric, snap or dig out concrete plugs where needed, and dispose of the metal. Disposal cost is itemized in the quote.
Do you do alley-facing fences with double swing gates?
All the time. 4x4 cedar posts in 42-inch concrete on the gate-side, gussets at the corners, adjustable hinges so the gate stays plumb when the alley settles.
How do you protect existing utility lines on older Northglenn lots?
We file a Colorado 811 ticket 3 business days before digging and verify with a hand auger near every flagged line. Galvanized water and old gas lines get extra clearance.
