Fence Installation for Northern Indiana & The Lakes Regions
Fencing Built for Lake Exposure, Clay Soil, and Freeze–Thaw Cycles
Serving Steuben, DeKalb, and Noble counties, Gleave Construction builds fences made for Northern Indiana’s lakes region and northern suburbs. From family neighborhoods in Auburn to lakefront homes near Lake James, local conditions shape how a fence should be built—and how long it lasts.
This area brings real challenges: steady wind near the water, higher moisture levels, and soils that move during Indiana’s freeze–thaw cycle. A fence that looks fine on day one can lean, rust, or bind within a few seasons if it’s not planned correctly.
Our approach is simple and proven:
- Materials chosen for moisture and wind exposure
- Deeper post settings to reduce frost heave
- Clean designs that protect views and meet local rules
Family-owned since 1970, we build fences that fit the land, the location, and the long term.

What Your Neighbors in the North & Lakes Region Are Saying
Homeowners across the North & Lakes region often tell us the same thing: the fence still looks right—and still works—years later. That consistency comes from planning each fence around site conditions before installation—not fixing problems later.
Gleave Construction did an amazing job putting in our fence around our pool in our backyard. They were efficient and answered all questions in a very timely manner. The product is of very high quality and their installation was very well done as the fence is very sturdy. We customized our fence with a product that looks like stone pillars…..
Rachel Gerken
We had a new fence installed in our back yard by Gleave construction. The price and product selection was good but what really stood out was the team. They were prompt, courteous and did quality work. More than that, they did what they said they were going to do when they said they’d do it. I really appreciated that and would highly recommend…..
