Trusted Fence Contractor in Ridgecrest CA - Built for Desert Homes

Ridgecrest sits at roughly 2,300 feet in the Mojave Desert, which means fences here face a combination of conditions that coastal California contractors rarely deal with. Summer temperatures regularly top 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and the UV intensity at this elevation accelerates the aging of wood, paint, and sealants faster than you would expect. Then winter nights drop below freezing, and the repeated freeze-thaw cycle cracks concrete post footings and shifts fence lines over time.

The 2019 earthquakes, a 6.4 and then a 7.1 magnitude quake within two days, left soil movement across much of Ridgecrest that affected foundations and fence posts throughout the city. Even homeowners who did not see obvious damage should have their posts checked, because slow post lean from shifted soil is one of the most common fence failures our crew addresses. Add in the desert dust storms that drive fine sand into every gap and joint, and you have a maintenance environment that demands materials and installation techniques specific to this area.

Ridgecrest is a city of approximately 28,000 people located in the Indian Wells Valley in the northern Mojave Desert, roughly 150 miles north of Los Angeles. The city grew up around Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, which remains the largest employer in the area and the economic engine of the entire valley. The housing stock is predominantly single-family ranch-style homes built between the 1950s and 1980s, most on modest suburban lots with stucco exteriors and gravel or drought-tolerant landscaping.

China Lake Boulevard runs through the center of town and serves as the main commercial corridor, with residential neighborhoods spreading out to the east and west. The Maturango Museum on Las Flores Avenue is one of the city's most recognizable cultural landmarks. We also serve communities throughout the surrounding valley, including Inyokern to the west and China Lake Acres to the east.
