Snow Fence Installation

What This Service Involves

Wind-driven snow is uncommon in the Puget Sound lowlands, but exposed properties in the Cascade foothills and open acreage near Enumclaw can see real drifting during arctic outflow events. Our crews position temporary snow fence upwind of the areas you need to keep clear, using the prevailing northeast flow that funnels down through the Fraser Valley and Stampede Pass. Proper placement builds a controlled drift well away from your driveway rather than across it, so you spend far less time and money clearing after each storm. We survey your site, set posts at the correct setback distance, and remove everything cleanly once the season ends.

Benefits

Reduces repeat plowing costs by controlling where snow accumulates; Protects exposed driveways and lane approaches from wind-blown drifts; Keeps critical access routes open during arctic outflow events; Temporary installation leaves no permanent marks on your property

Our Process

1) We walk the property and map prevailing wind exposure and drift-prone approaches; 2) We calculate proper fence setback based on expected drift depth; 3) We drive posts and hang fencing before the first forecasted event; 4) We inspect after storms and pull all materials at season's end

What Affects the Cost

Total linear footage of fencing required; Number of posts and ground conditions for driving them; Whether frozen or rocky soil complicates installation; Site accessibility for our crew and equipment; Temporary versus multi-season placement

Best Time of Year

We install snow fencing in late October or November before the first arctic outflow, and remove it once the risk of hard freezes passes in early spring.
