Testimonials
“Seth and his team were wonderful to work with! We had many questions and made many changes to our original ideas. They were extremely helpful through the entire process. We had a few special swails that required extra attention and the team did great! The fence is beautiful and we have received many compliments on it! Highly recommended!”
– Kathleen Kemme
“Gleave Construction built a superb garden fence for us with 120 feet of stainless steel fencing and pressure treated lumber top and bottom of the fence. Nic and Joe were friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. They even worked in the rain to finish the job. We were thrilled with the finished product. If you need a fence, give Gleave Construction a call. You will be glad that you did!”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What types of wood do you recommend for fences in New Haven?
For New Haven homes, we primarily recommend cedar and pressure-treated pine. Cedar is naturally beautiful and resists insects and rot without treatment. It costs more but typically lasts longer. Pressure-treated pine is more affordable while still offering good protection against weather and insects. Both options work well in New Haven’s climate when properly installed and maintained.
How deep do you set fence posts in New Haven?
In New Haven, we set fence posts at least 30-36 inches deep to account for the frost line in our region. Proper post depth is crucial for fence stability, especially with Indiana’s freeze-thaw cycles. We use concrete footings for each post to ensure your fence remains straight and sturdy for years, preventing leaning or sagging that can occur with improperly set posts.
Do you offer fence staining services in New Haven?
Yes, we offer professional staining services for all the wood fences we install in New Haven. We recommend staining your fence to protect the wood and enhance its appearance. We use high-quality, weather-resistant stains that bring out the natural beauty of the wood while providing protection from sun damage, moisture, and mildew. Regular staining every 2-3 years helps extend your fence’s lifespan significantly.
How do wood fences in New Haven hold up during winter?
Wood fences from Gleave Construction are built specifically to handle New Haven winters. We use proper post-setting techniques to prevent frost heave, quality hardware that won’t rust, and boards with proper spacing to allow for natural expansion and contraction during temperature changes. With proper installation and periodic maintenance, our wood fences withstand snow, ice, and the freeze-thaw cycles common in our region.
What's the process for getting a fence permit in New Haven?
New Haven requires permits for most fence installations through the New Haven Planning Department. As part of our service, we help guide you through this process. The application typically requires property line information, fence height, material details, and sometimes a simple drawing. We’re familiar with New Haven’s specific requirements and can ensure your fence project meets all local codes.
How close to my property line can I build a fence in New Haven?
In New Haven, fences can typically be built directly on your property line, but we strongly recommend building a few inches inside your property to avoid any disputes. Corner lots have special requirements regarding “visibility triangles” at intersections. Our team is familiar with New Haven’s specific zoning requirements and will help ensure your fence complies with all local regulations while meeting your needs.
Do you offer any warranties on wood fences in New Haven?
Yes, we provide strong warranties on all our wood fences in New Haven. Our cedar fences come with a 10-year material warranty, while treated lumber fences include a 25-year material warranty. Additionally, all our fence installations include a 1-year labor warranty. We stand behind our work and use only quality materials to ensure your fence remains beautiful and functional for many years.
