Highlands Ranch, CO · Family-owned
Owner-built by Jon & Janessa LangHRCA-approved cedar and Trex fences built for Highlands Ranch — the right color, posts set deep against the clay, and the ARC paperwork handled for you. Built by Jon & Janessa Lang.
Built for the Ranch
Highlands Ranch isn't a free-for-all. The HRCA holds every yard to one fence look, and they have to say yes before you build. Your fence must be rough-sawn cedar, 5 or 6 feet tall, stained the exact color called "Highlands Ranch Fence Brown" — or Trex "Saddle" composite. Vinyl is not allowed. We've built that fence so many times we know it cold.
Fences fail here in the same few ways: they go up the wrong color or style and get turned down, the clay pushes the posts out of the ground and they start to lean, or the wind off the foothills works them loose. We build so yours passes the first time and stays standing.
“Jonathan and his wife made our fence replacement seamless. Great communication throughout. Replaced our fence in 2 days, cleaned up the site properly and discarded the old fence panels.”

Most fence trouble here comes down to the HOA rule, the clay, or the wind. We build for all three.
Highlands Ranch allows one fence look: rough-sawn cedar, 5 or 6 feet, stained "Highlands Ranch Fence Brown" — or Trex "Saddle." No vinyl. The HRCA review committee (303-471-8821) has to approve it first. We build to that rule and handle the form.
The clay under Highlands Ranch swells up when it gets wet, and that's what pushes fence posts out of the ground and makes them lean. We dig the holes deep, below where the clay moves, and set the posts in concrete so they stay put.
Highlands Ranch sits right where the wind comes off the foothills, and a tall fence catches it like a sail. We build to a 120 mph wind design — heavier posts, set deeper, spaced right — so a hard gust doesn't lay your fence over.
Highlands Ranch gets some of the worst hail in the country, and the strong sun at 5,800 feet grays out cheap wood fast. We use solid cedar or Trex composite that holds up — and we re-stain in the right color so the fence keeps looking new.
“These guys are awesome — we had to tear down and move a fence on our property and their crew took down the old one and built the new one in record time. The new fence is beautiful and even the neighbor is happy with it.”

After a few hundred Front Range builds, the requests from this town are predictable in the best way. Odds are yours is on this list — and we've already solved it.
By far the most common call: a new rough-sawn cedar fence, 5 or 6 feet, stained the exact "Highlands Ranch Fence Brown" the HRCA wants. We build it to the rule across Northridge, Westridge, Eastridge and Southridge so it's approved the first time.
If your lot backs to open space — the Backcountry Wilderness Area, Daniels Park, or a greenbelt — a solid wall wastes the view you paid for. We build a more open style that still passes the rules, so you keep Pikes Peak and Longs Peak.
In BackCountry, the gated community in Southridge, the fence has to clear a second review on top of the main HRCA one, and that board only meets every couple weeks. We know how that one works and we line it up so you're not waiting on a redo.
The wind off the foothills and the swelling clay are a bad pair — together they push posts out and tip fences over. We set heavier posts deep in concrete, below where the clay moves, so the fence stands straight for years in places like Falcon Hills and Highwoods.
Out near the Backcountry Wilderness Area the deer come right into the yard, and a lot of folks want real privacy from the neighbors too. We build full-height privacy fences and deer-tough fencing that still fits the Highlands Ranch look.
In newer streets like Firelight, The Hearth and Weatherstone, we fence the whole backyard in one go — gates, dog runs, and a clean match to the neighbors — so the whole block keeps that one Highlands Ranch look.
