About the Company
Northland Fence, based in Saint Paul, MN, specializes in fence and gate solutions tailored to the local climate.

The team uses deep-set posts with concrete footings below the frost line to prevent shifting. They also repair existing structures affected by snow and ice damage. Located near the Cathedral of Saint Paul and serving neighborhoods like Highland Park, Summit Avenue, and Macalester-Groveland, Northland Fence ensures your property stays safe and attractive year-round.
Q&A
What causes fence posts to heave in Saint Paul winters?
The primary cause is frost heave: water in the soil freezes and expands, pushing posts upward. This is common in Saint Paul's clay-heavy soils and fluctuating winter temperatures. Northland Fence sets posts below the frost line (typically 48 inches) and uses gravel drainage to reduce heaving.
How can I tell if my gate is sagging due to frost damage?
Signs include the gate dragging on the ground, uneven gaps, or difficulty latching. You might also notice leaning posts or cracked concrete around the base. If you spot these, call Northland Fence for an inspection before the problem worsens.
Does Northland Fence repair existing fences damaged by snow and ice?
Yes, they replace heave-damaged posts, straighten leaning sections, and reinforce gate hinges. They also offer full replacements with materials like vinyl or aluminum that resist moisture and warping, ideal for the Saint Paul climate.
