Kansas One-Call mandatory 2 business days before dig. We schedule it the day you sign.

Why an Olathe install isn't the same as an Overland Park install.
Three Olathe-specific things change the spec on almost every quote we write here — and they're the exact details that get missed by out-of-town crews and big-box installers.
1. Limestone shelf under the topsoil. Most of Olathe west of Lone Elm sits on a clay-over-limestone bench at 18–32 inches. We auger to a full 36 inches every time and core through the rock when we hit it — never short-set on top of the shelf, which is the #1 reason Olathe fences lean after their second freeze-thaw cycle.
2. ARC submittal before permit, not after. Olathe HOAs (Cedar Creek, Forest View, Boulder Creek, Persimmon Hill, Stonebridge Meadows, Cedar Creek Country Club) require architectural-review approval before the city permit will be accepted. Overland Park is the opposite order. We file the ARC package — elevation, stain SKU, plot plan, material spec — week one, then pull the Olathe permit the moment it clears.
3. Greenbelt and pond-frontage rules. If your lot backs a Stonebridge Meadows pond, a Cedar Creek greenway, or the Cedar Creek Country Club golf course, you cannot install solid privacy. The fence must be 50%+ open — that's why you see so much black 4 ft ornamental aluminum along those lines. We carry the pre-approved Olathe aluminum specs for exactly this.

Kodiak prepares the full HOA submittal — elevation drawing, material samples, site plan — at no charge.Copy link to this answer

Most Olathe repair calls are on-site within 48 hours, with full insurance-claim documentation when needed.Copy link to this answer
- Most Olathe installs take 2–3 days on site once permits and materials are in. From signed quote to dig date is typically 2–4 weeks given Olathe permit turnaround and HOA review. Storm-damage replacements move faster.Copy link to this answer
- Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) are ideal. We install year-round in Olathe; winter installs are often fastest to schedule and HOA review timelines are shorter outside peak season.Copy link to this answer
- Yes. Financing is available on Olathe installs — 12 to 84 month terms, most decisions instant. Ask at quote time and we'll send the application.Copy link to this answer
- 10 years on workmanship in Olathe — the longest in Johnson County — on top of every manufacturer material warranty (lifetime on vinyl panels and aluminum). Transferable to the next homeowner.Copy link to this answer
- 36 inches minimum — below the Olathe frost line. Anything shallower heaves with the first hard freeze. We set every post in a full 60-lb bag of 4,000 PSI concrete. Olathe sits on a mix of clay and limestone shelf, so we core through rock when we hit it rather than going shallow.Copy link to this answer
- For privacy: heavy-wall vinyl outlasts cedar 2-to-1 in Olathe's freeze-thaw cycle, with no staining. For decorative or pool: powder-coated aluminum is the only no-maintenance metal that survives KC winters. Cedar is still the budget pick and looks the most 'Olathe traditional' for 15–18 years if you stain every 2–3 years.Copy link to this answer
- Yes. Every Olathe pool fence we install meets the 2021 IRC pool code adopted by the City of Olathe — minimum 4 ft height, self-closing self-latching gates, latch 54"+ off finished grade, no openings a 4-inch sphere can pass. We pull the pool-enclosure permit and meet the city inspector for the final.Copy link to this answer
- Yes — Cedar Creek is one of our most-installed Olathe subdivisions. We're familiar with the ARC submittal (color/stain SKU, elevation drawing, material spec), and we have approved cedar board-on-board and ornamental aluminum specs that pre-clear the committee.Copy link to this answer
- Legally yes, but Olathe still requires the permit and the inspection. DIY mistakes we see most: posts too shallow, no permit pulled, HOA never notified, gates that sag inside 12 months. Most homeowners save real money long-term hiring a licensed Johnson County contractor with a written workmanship warranty.Copy link to this answer
- Kodiak covers all of Olathe plus Overland Park, Lenexa, Shawnee, Gardner, Spring Hill, De Soto, Edgerton, and the Johnson County edge of Leawood. Same crews, same Olathe pricing.Copy link to this answer
