Grizzly builds cedar and pressure-treated fences and repairs fences in Lynnwood and across Snohomish and King County, including fences another company built. We walk the line, confirm the height your city allows, and set posts for wet ground and winter freezes.
Every fence job
Whether it's a new run or a repair, every job starts with the same four checks.
We walk the fence line on site and mark the corners and gates before any material is ordered.
The rules differ by city, so we confirm the height yours allows before we quote.
We locate sprinkler lines and drain runs before the first post hole is dug.
You get a clear, written price before any work starts.
What we build
Tall, solid cedar fences that block the view and handle the damp far better than budget wood.
→ Board-on-board or butt joint → Built on site → Screening matched to your yard
A budget-friendly wood fence built to handle wet ground.
→ Lower-cost option → Cedar and pressure-treated mixes → Posts set to depth
Walk and drive gates hung so they swing and latch right, with hinges and latches sized for the real weight.
→ Braced gate frames → Posts sized for the swing → Sagging gates rehung
Leaning posts, split boards, sagging rails and gates that no longer latch, fixed on fences we did or didn't build.
→ Leaning sections → Broken or rotted boards → Gates that won't latch
Old fences torn out, old footings pulled and everything hauled away before the new line goes in.
→ Rotted fences removed → Old concrete pulled → New fence on the right line
Racked to follow the slope or stepped down it, and on steeper ground set on a short retaining wall we build too.
→ Racked or stepped panels → Gaps underneath kept small → Retaining walls when needed
What goes wrong
Most fences fail at the post, below ground, long before the boards give out. Here's what each sign usually means.
Usually: a post rotted at ground level, or a footing that was never deep enough for wet ground and freezes.
Usually: a gate frame or post too light for the weight and swing, or kit hardware that has worn out.
Usually: rot from constant moisture, most often at the base of the posts.
Usually: carpenter ants, dampwood termites or woodpeckers working on the wood.
What it means: damaged boards and rails can often be replaced without replacing the whole fence.
What it means: the posts may be gone, and replacing the run can cost less than another round of repairs.
Our approach
The boards and rails are what you see, and they are rarely what fails. In this climate a fence goes when water sits around the post and rots it. Here's the difference setting posts right makes.
1. Order pre-made panels before walking the line 2. Set posts straight into mud 3. Leave the old concrete in the ground 4. Dig without checking for sprinkler lines
Result: the posts rot at ground level, and the fence leans or ends up off the line.
1. Walk and mark the line, check the grade and confirm the height your city allows 2. Locate sprinkler lines and drain runs before the first hole 3. Pull old footings and set posts below the frost line, on gravel 4. Frame the fence on site so it follows your ground
Result: a fence that stays straight and on the line.
Why Grizzly
01
Corners, gates and grade are marked on site before anything is ordered.
02
Posts go in deep, on gravel, so they hold through wet springs and winter freezes.
03
We confirm what your city allows, so the fence doesn't have to move later.
04
We repair fences another company built, not just our own.
05
If the posts are gone, we tell you when replacing the run makes more sense.
06
Never subcontracted. The people who walk your line are the people who build it.

04
Our own crew sets the posts, hangs the gates and cleans up, and we're a call away for gate adjustments later.

"Danny worked on our broken irrigation pipe and a underground connector. He was efficient, on time, and got the job done cleanly. I would hire him again."

"… Weeks after installation, I had an issue with one garden area getting oversaturated along with water build up so I called Danny and he came right over that same day and found that there was a faulty valve and he took care of it right away. Grizzly is competitively priced and Danny is very knowledgeable. …"

Questions
In Lynnwood, the most common causes are rot from constant moisture, carpenter ants, dampwood termites and woodpeckers. Look for soft or spongy wood, sawdust-like debris or small holes. Damaged posts and boards can often be replaced without replacing the whole fence.
Yes. Stain protects cedar from moisture, UV damage and graying, and it can add years to the fence's life.
Yes. We repair split boards, sagging rails, leaning sections and gates on fences we didn't build. If the posts have gone, we tell you plainly when replacing the run will cost less than another round of repairs.
It depends on your city, and corner lots can have their own setback rules. We confirm the height your city allows before we quote, because a fence in the wrong place is expensive to move afterwards.
Yes. Grizzly Landscape & Construction LLC is registered with Washington L&I as contractor GRIZZLC755LL, and is bonded and insured. You can look the number up on L&I's Verify a Contractor tool.
Almost always because of the posts. Water sits around the post and rots it at ground level, or the footing was never deep enough to hold through a freeze and a wet spring. We set posts below the frost line on gravel, with concrete crowned to shed rain.
Yes. The fence can be racked to follow the slope or stepped down it, and the choice changes both the look and the gap underneath. On steeper ground it sometimes belongs on top of a short retaining wall, which we build as well.
