RKC Wood Care Pros installs fences in Richmond — cedar, vinyl, chain link, and gates for homes and businesses. Same crew handles the build and the staining. Based in Olathe, serving the wider KC metro area. Free estimate.
WHY RICHMOND HOMEOWNERS HIRE RKC
Richmond has a small handful of local installers, but proper post-depth standards, permit handling, and long-term staining follow-up aren’t always part of the service. We work the metro one neighborhood at a time and bring the same install standards to every job.
Richmond’s heavy silty soil and older lots built on established garden beds hide settling material. Shallow posts drift. We go 36 inches deep with poured wet concrete and a bell-bottom footing on every install.
The $25 Richmond permit is our job, not yours. We pull it as part of every estimate and include the fee in the quote so you never have to chase city paperwork before the crew shows up.
Most fence contractors hand you off to a separate stain crew 30 days later. We don’t. The RKC crew that installed your Richmond fence returns for the first stain coat and the long-term rotation.
LOCAL CONDITIONS
Richmond sits on heavy silty soil with residential blocks that have been built, rebuilt, and gardened for generations. Those factors change how fences need to be installed here compared to newer-construction suburbs — and they explain why we see so many settling-fence calls within the first five years of a shortcut install.
Richmond’s residential lots, especially in the older blocks near the courthouse and along Maurice Roberts Park, have been gardened, leveled, and re-leveled for generations. That history means post holes hit pockets of organic material that settle over time. Shallow 24-inch posts drift downward or lean with the settling. We set every post 36 inches deep below the active settling zone and pour a bell-bottom concrete footing so the fence stays true.
Ray County sees more neighbor-line disputes than most of the KC metro, often on lots without recent surveys. We flag property-line uncertainty during the site walk and recommend confirming pins before any fence work begins. Installing a fence on the wrong side of the line is a problem that’s expensive to correct — checking the pins before we quote is free and faster than most homeowners expect.

UV-stabilized vinyl for Richmond’s newer residential construction — rare but growing in demand as homeowners tire of the staining rotation.
View metro service
Galvanized chain link is still prevalent in older Richmond residential blocks and on larger lots with outbuildings or garden plots needing containment.

Powder-coated steel and aluminum picket — less common in Richmond but available for decorative front-yard accents and pool perimeter work.

6-foot cedar privacy — the Ray County default, with pressure-treated pine available for budget-conscious builds on larger lots.

Walk gates and custom double-drive gates — including the oversized farm gates common on Richmond’s rural-edge properties.

Post settling in the town’s heavy, silty soil and aging-fence deterioration are the top Richmond repair calls. We pull the post, rebuild the footing, and rebuild the section.

Semi-transparent penetrating stain on a 2-3 year rotation — the same RKC crew that installed the fence returns for the care schedule.

A 6-foot cedar privacy fence in Richmond runs roughly $25 to $35 per linear foot installed, in line with the broader KC metro. Pressure-treated pine privacy — a common Ray County budget alternative — runs $20 to $28 per linear foot and is well-suited to larger rural-edge lots where total footage runs high. Chain link for older residential blocks or rural-edge containment runs $12 to $22 per linear foot. Every Richmond estimate is free and itemized — with the $25 city permit fee included in the quote so you never have to chase it separately.
