Licensed and insured in Missouri and Kansas · Free estimates
Smithville sits in Clay County along US-169, with Smithville Lake right next to it. That makes for two kinds of property: acreage spread out around the lake, and lake-area homes where outdoor living space matters more than usual.
Outdoor space matters more near the lake
A house near Smithville Lake tends to get used differently than one further inland, with the deck or porch built to take advantage of the view. We build decks, stairs and covered porches for homes in the Smithville area, sized and framed for how the property will actually be lived in rather than a standard layout.
Decks & porches
New decks, stairs and covered porches built for outdoor living near the lake. Deck and porch building.
Fencing
Privacy fencing for a yard, or property-line fencing for a larger lake-area lot. Fence installation and replacement.
Acreage away from the lake still needs dirt work
Not every property around Smithville sits on the water. A lot of the area is still open acreage with the same needs as anywhere else in the Northland: grading, drainage, and trenching for power or water out to a shop, barn or second structure. We run a compact excavator for the bigger runs and a walk-behind trencher for narrower cuts through an already established yard. More on trenching services and excavation and grading. More examples are in the project gallery.

New builds and repairs away from the water
Smithville has newer construction going in along with older homes and farm properties that have been there longer. On a new build we handle site prep and framing together, from grading the lot through setting the roof, siding and all. On an older place, the work runs more toward repair: a roof that's taken storm damage, a fence that's finally worn out, or an interior remodel that's overdue, bathroom or flooring included. New construction and framing and roofing repairs cover both ends of that, and remodeling and interior work picks up the rest.
Storms come through this part of Clay County like anywhere else. Downed limbs near the lake or out on open acreage are something we clean up, along with routine tree trimming and removal. See tree work and storm cleanup.

Questions about work near Smithville
Do you build decks for lake properties specifically?
Yes. Send us a photo of the area and we can talk through what fits a lot near the lake.
Can you run a trench out to a detached garage or shed?
Yes. Whether it's power, water or conduit, we pick the compact excavator or the walk-behind trencher depending on how the yard is set up.
Do you work on acreage that isn't near the lake at all?
Yes. Inland acreage away from the lake is part of what we cover around Smithville too.
Do you repair fences after storm damage?
Yes. A fence knocked down by a falling limb or a storm is straightforward repair work, not a special case.
