Fence, Deck & Concrete Contractor in Leo-Cedarville, IN
Built for Cedar Creek Soil, Established Lots, and Strict Zoning Compliance
Gleave Construction has built fences, decks, and concrete work across Leo-Cedarville & nearby areas for decades, handling Town permits, utility coordination, and terrain-specific footing work that out-of-area contractors routinely miss. Post and footing depth matter here; Cedar Creek’s freeze-thaw cycles will shift a fence, deck, or slab installed by someone unfamiliar with the local soil conditions.
Fencing Services Commonly Requested in Leo-Cedarville
Properties here range from established homes on tree-lined streets to newer builds in developing areas. Placement standards, terrain, and lot layout determine what type of fencing works best for your home.
LEO-CEDARVILLE FENCE PERMITS, HEIGHT & PLACEMENT RULES
Leo-Cedarville is a mix of established ranch-style homes and newer builds, and that mix shapes what kind of deck makes sense. Larger rural lots support wraparound decks that wrap a corner or open onto a panoramic yard — one of the deck styles we build most often on Leo-Cedarville properties. Homes in the newer subdivisions along the Leo Road corridor typically sit under covenant-governed lot layouts, so we confirm covenant approval before we schedule your build.
We build in pressure-treated pine, cedar, and composite decking, matched to how much upkeep you want to take on and how much sun the deck gets. For a full side-by-side comparison of cost, maintenance, and how each material handles Indiana winters, see our Custom Decks page.
Deck additions in Leo-Cedarville fall under the same Improvement Location Permit (ILP) process as fences — issued by the Town’s Plan Commission, not Allen County. We file it for you. Every footing goes in below the 36-inch frost line — our standard practice is 42 to 48 inches with 3,000 PSI concrete — and we call Indiana 811 before any digging starts.
Commercial Concrete Services in Leo-Cedarville, IN
We pour commercial concrete for Leo-Cedarville businesses and institutional sites — parking areas and driveways, walkways and sidewalks, industrial flooring, and custom slab work — built to handle Indiana’s freeze-thaw cycles and heavy daily traffic. Finish options include stamped, colored, and exposed-aggregate concrete, along with reinforced slabs for equipment loads and ADA-compliant ramps and walkways.
Commercial, industrial, and institutional construction in Leo-Cedarville — including new slabs, additions, and drainage work — requires an Improvement Location Permit from the Town’s Plan Commission. We handle the filing the same way we do for fence and deck projects.
LEO-CEDARVILLE FENCE PERMITS, HEIGHT & PLACEMENT RULES
| Category | What the Town Requires |
|---|---|
| Permit Requirement | An Improvement Location Permit (ILP) is mandatory before construction begins. |
| Front Yard Height | Fences in the front yard are limited to 3 feet and cannot obstruct visibility. Confirm specific sight-line requirements with the Town before installation. |
| Rear Yard Height | Maximum height is 8 feet for fences or walls constructed within a residential rear yard. |
| Setbacks | Fences must maintain a 2-foot setback from any property line. They can be placed closer, provided the ILP application is accompanied by a signed letter from the adjoining property owner. |
| Easements & ROW | Fences may not be constructed within the public right-of-way or within any utility easement. If a fence is built over an easement, the cost of repairing the fence will be your sole responsibility. |
| Structural Orientation | We orient all support structures to face inward — a common industry standard and typically required under local code. |
| Utility Clearance | Call 811 at least 2 full working days before digging. This is an Indiana state law requirement. |

NEIGHBORHOODS &
AREAS WE SERVE
Whether your property sits near the Cedar Creek corridor with its specific soil challenges or in a newer subdivision requiring HOA compliance, we review your site for property lines, easements, and height limits before any work begins.
Properties near the town center and in established blocks often require fence replacements or upgrades, with a focus on rear-yard privacy and on maintaining the 3-foot front-yard visibility rules. Homes along the Leo Road corridor and in developing subdivisions typically feature newer construction with covenant-governed lot layouts, where alignment and consistent spacing are critical.
