Frequently Asked Questions
How does Northland Fence handle frost heaving in Apple Valley winters?
Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles can cause traditional concrete footings to shift, leading to uneven posts. Northland Fence eliminates that risk by not using concrete. Instead, we install posts with a method that locks them in place while allowing drainage, preventing frost heave. This approach is especially effective in Apple Valley’s clay-heavy soils, which are prone to movement when frozen.
Do you install fences in the winter, and will the ground be damaged during installation?
Yes, we install fences year-round, including during Apple Valley winters. Our post installation method is minimally invasive — we use a powered driver rather than digging large holes, so there is no heavy equipment tearing up frozen lawns. The process is quick, and we clean up completely before leaving.
What maintenance is required for your black chain link or vinyl privacy fences?
Because we only install maintenance-free materials, neither black chain link nor vinyl privacy fences require painting, staining, or weatherproofing. A simple rinse with a garden hose a couple of times a year is enough to keep them looking clean. Our ornamental steel fences are powder-coated and also need minimal upkeep — just check for debris buildup near the ground after heavy snowmelt.
