FAQs
What do you do before digging to avoid hitting underground lines?
We call Hawaii 811 for a mandatory utility locate at least three business days before excavation. Hitting a telecom or power line in Keokea Town Center is a major liability that can lead to service outages and fines. While 811 marks public lines, we also use a pipe locator for private sewer laterals. We manage all County permit paperwork, including the site plan showing the fence line relative to Keokea Park and Hwy 37.
What fencing material lasts longest against Keokea's termites and soil?
With a Very Heavy termite risk and moderate soil corrosivity, material compatibility is non-negotiable. Pressure-treated pine must be rated for ground contact (UC4B) and all fasteners must be hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel to prevent rust streaks. We avoid steel posts in direct soil contact. For maximum durability, consider a concrete curb wall base with aluminum or composite panels above grade.
How do you build a fence to survive the high winds in Keokea?
The 115 MPH V-ult wind speed dictates the entire structure. We engineer for ASCE 7-22 standards, which reduces the 6-foot panel span standard to 8-foot centers. Each post requires a minimum 6000 PSI concrete anchor and galvanized hurricane ties. For picket fences, we use 2x4 backing rails screwed—not nailed—to each post. This system is tested to withstand the peak storm season gusts coming off the slope.
How soon can you start a fence project in Keokea, and what's the consultation process?
After the site assessment and permit approval, we typically mobilize within 10 business days. For a consultation, our crew departs from the Keokea Park area and takes Hwy 37 (Kula Highway) to your property. Given local traffic and road conditions, block a 45-60 minute window for the initial survey and wind exposure assessment. The $45/hr labor rate applies from the first on-site meeting.
Do I need a special gate for my pool, and are smart gates a good idea?
Yes. County of Maui Code Chapter 16.04 requires all pool enclosures to have self-closing, self-latching gates that open outward. The latch must be 54 inches above the deck or on the pool-side. While smart-gate IoT integration is a low trend here, any electronic latch must have a mechanical failsafe to meet code. We install ASTM F2286-compliant hardware to limit liability.
Why do you need to dig deep for fence posts in Keokea if there's no frost?
Hawaii has no frost depth, but soil stability is critical under wind load. The 115 MPH V-ult wind speed for Keokea Town Center requires a minimum 2-foot embedment in stable soil. Posts set in shallow, loose volcanic cinder will pivot and fail under the force of a Kona storm. We specify 4x4 posts with 50 lbs. of concrete per hole to meet IRC R403.1.4 for lateral stability.
What is the legal process for replacing a fence on a shared property line in Keokea?
Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 664-1 defines a 'partition fence' as a shared boundary structure. Before any work begins in 2026, you must provide written notice to your adjoining landowner in Keokea. This 'Good Neighbor' law establishes shared maintenance responsibility. For a new fence, we recommend a signed agreement on material, cost, and the final survey line to prevent future disputes.
What are the height and setback rules for a fence on my Keokea property?
Keokea zoning enforces a 4-foot height limit in the front yard and 6 feet in the rear. The 0-foot setback allows building on the property line, but corner lots have critical 'sight triangle' rules. If your lot intersects a road near Hwy 37, no structure can obstruct driver visibility within a 10-foot triangle from the curb. We survey this first to avoid a County stop-work order.
