Palmer Lake is one of the oldest towns in the region — founded by General William Jackson Palmer in 1871 and incorporated in 1889. Steam trains once stopped here to take on water before climbing to the Palmer Divide summit, and from 1887 to 1910 the town hosted the Rocky Mountain Chautauqua.
Today Palmer Lake is a small, close-knit town of about 2,600 people, and its properties are anything but uniform: historic cottages on small lots near downtown, newer homes on the hillsides, and lots that back right up to the national forest. We plan every Palmer Lake fence around the lot in front of us — slope, trees, views and neighbors included.
Palmer Lake marks the top of the Palmer Divide, the ridge that separates the Denver area from the Pikes Peak region. At over 7,000 feet, that means more snow, stronger wind and colder winters than central Colorado Springs.
Posts set deep below the frost zone and rails sized for snow load and drifting.
Stepped or racked fence sections that follow the slope instead of leaving gaps underneath.
Fence heights and designs that work with the deer, bears and other wildlife coming down from Pike National Forest.
Rich stained cedar that looks at home against the foothills.
Good-neighbor design that lets mountain wind pass through.
A modern look for newer hillside homes.
Walk and drive gates built square for snowy winters.
Every December, the Palmer Lake Star lights up Sundance Mountain — 457 feet across and a designated Colorado historic site. It’s one of our favorite sights driving home up I-25.
Year-round, our crew enjoys the trail up to the Palmer Lake reservoirs, the Santa Fe Regional Trail that runs south to Monument, coffee on Highway 105 downtown, and shows at the Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts. Winterfest and the summer fishing derby round out the small-town calendar.
We also serve nearby Monument, Woodmoor, Gleneagle, Larkspur and Castle Rock.
Palmer Lake is an incorporated town, so Town of Palmer Lake zoning applies along with the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department and any HOA or covenants on your property. We check height, setback and placement before we build.
Yes. On slopes we either step the fence panels or rack them to follow the grade, so there are no big gaps underneath for pets or wildlife.
We set posts deep in concrete below the frost zone and choose rail sizes and spacing that handle snow load and drifting along the fence line.
Many homeowners choose cedar privacy or shadowbox near the house and open rail fencing toward the forest to keep the views and let wildlife move around the property.
During business hours we reply within about an hour, and most on-site estimates happen the same day or within 24 hours.
Palmer Lake’s hillside lots and forest views are perfect for an elevated deck or covered deck. We design footings and framing for slopes and heavy Palmer Divide snow, and build with low-maintenance composite or natural wood — so you can enjoy the view of Sundance Mountain year-round.
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.
