Council Bluffs packs a lot of variety into one city — century-old homes on the Loess Hills bluffs above the historic 100 Block, family neighborhoods around Lake Manawa, and fast-growing subdivisions out by Metro Crossing and Iowa Western. Each of those settings asks something different of a fence, and we build for all of them from right across the Missouri River.

Built for Council Bluffs
On the bluff side of Council Bluffs, older cedar fences fail from the ground up — posts rot where the loess soil holds moisture against the wood. We set posts deep in concrete and offer a steel-post upgrade that takes rot out of the equation entirely, which is why so many of our Council Bluffs cedar jobs are full replacements of fences that leaned for years.
Cedar's natural oils resist rot and insects better than standard pine, which is why it is the Midwest's default privacy fence. It goes up fast, can be stained or left to weather to a silver gray, and individual pickets are easy to replace if a mower or a storm ever damages one. Cedar gates are available from $200 each, built to match the fence.
