Manitou Springs was founded in 1872 by William Jackson Palmer and Dr. William Bell as a scenic health resort built around its natural mineral springs — eight of them still flow through town. Today the Manitou Springs Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the largest National Historic Districts in the country.
That history shapes how we approach fences here. The city’s Historic Preservation Commission reviews alterations to existing properties and new construction in the Historic District through its Material Change of Appearance process. If your home is in the district, we’ll help you check whether your fence needs review and plan a design that fits the character of the neighborhood.
Manitou sits between Mt. Manitou, Red Mountain and Englemann Canyon. Many lots are steep, narrow or reached by tight streets and stairs — so fence building here takes a different approach.
Panels stepped or racked to follow the slope, so there are no big gaps under the fence on hillsides.
When equipment can’t reach the back of a lot, we hand-dig and carry materials in — no shortcuts on post depth.
We plan fence lines with runoff in mind, especially on lots near Fountain Creek, which flooded in 2013.
Natural cedar that ages beautifully next to red rock and pines.
Lets canyon wind through and looks good from both sides.
Keeps views of the mountains open — great for front yards.
Gates built to fit narrow side yards and uneven ground.
There’s nowhere else like Manitou. Our crew has climbed the Manitou Incline — more than 2,000 feet of vertical gain — ridden the Pikes Peak Cog Railway to the summit, explored Cave of the Winds, and toured Miramont Castle. And with Garden of the Gods right next door, the red rock views never get old.
Walking Manitou Avenue and filling a bottle at one of the mineral springs is one of our favorite ways to end a workday in town.
We also serve nearby Colorado Springs, Old Colorado City, Cascade and Woodland Park.
If your property is in the Manitou Springs Historic District, exterior changes may need review by the Historic Preservation Commission. We’ll help you check with the city’s Planning Department and prepare the information they ask for.
Yes. We step or rack fence panels to follow the slope and set posts deep in concrete, even when we have to hand-dig on hillsides.
We carry materials in by hand and use hand tools where needed. It takes a bit more time, but the fence is built to the same standard.
Natural cedar, simple picket or shadowbox designs and ornamental steel all suit historic homes. We’ll suggest options that match your house and street.
During business hours we reply within about an hour, and most on-site estimates happen the same day or within 24 hours.
On Manitou’s steep lots, a deck is often the only flat outdoor space you have. We design and build elevated hillside decks, stairs and railings with footings engineered for slopes. If your home is in the Historic District, we’ll help you check whether the city’s preservation review applies before we build.
Decks in El Paso County typically require a building permit through the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department. DENFENCE is licensed by PPRBD (#26981) — we prepare the drawings, pull the permit and schedule inspections.
