Fence Contractors Steamboat Springs CO | Call 3V

Freeze-thaw cycles cause the ground to expand and contract, especially in clay-rich soils common around Steamboat. This upward pressure can heave fence posts out of alignment, cracking concrete or tilting panels. The sign is uneven tops or gaps between fence and ground. 3V solves this by excavating below the frost line (typically 48 inches) and using compacted backfill to minimize soil movement around posts.

We handle land clearing, trench digging, and soil backfilling and compaction. For new fences, we dig post holes and remove surface rocks and roots. For existing fences that have settled, we can regrade the soil around posts and compact the fill. All work is done with attention to local soil conditions near neighborhoods like The Sanctuary or Mountain Village.

Yes. We offer snow removal with care around fences and gates to avoid scraping posts or bending panels. We use equipment sized for residential driveways and walkways, and we avoid piling snow against wooden posts, which can accelerate rot. We also clear access for gate latches and tracks so they operate freely after heavy snow.
