New Construction and Fencing Around Kearney, MO

Kearney is growing along I-35 northeast of Kansas City, with new subdivisions going in next to farmland that's been there a long time.

Kearney sits in Clay County along I-35, on the northeast side of the Kansas City area. New subdivisions have been going in around the edges of town, right up against farmland that's been worked for a lot longer than the houses have.

Ferry Construction & Excavation does new construction and framing, site prep, and fencing throughout the Kearney area, along with the rest of our services. We're based in St. Joseph, and Kearney is one of the towns we reach heading southeast toward the metro.

Framing for new homes and additions

A new build means construction and framing work start to finish: grading the lot, framing the structure, wrapping and siding it, and putting the roof on. We also frame additions and outbuildings for homes already built, when a family outgrows what they started with. See new construction and framing.

Farmland edges need a different kind of fence

The farmland around Kearney is a different fencing job than a subdivision backyard. Property lines run longer, the ground isn't always flat or cleared, and the fence has to hold its line across more uneven terrain than a small backyard run. We build both kinds: wood privacy fencing for a new subdivision lot, and longer property-line fencing for farmland and acreage on the edges of town.

Fencing

Privacy fencing for a new home, or fence lines across open farmland. Fence installation and replacement.

Excavation & grading

Grading a new lot, prepping a pad, or fixing drainage before or after a build. Excavation and grading.

Utilities for a growing area

New construction and new outbuildings both usually need something trenched in, whether it's power out to a shop or conduit run across the yard to a new part of the property. We handle that trenching as part of the same job, using the compact excavator for the run and getting the yard graded back out once it's backfilled. More on trenching services.

Decks, porches and remodeling in the older parts of town

Not everything in Kearney is a new subdivision. There are established homes closer to the center of town that need the same things older homes anywhere need: a deck that's past its prime, a porch worth adding on, or an interior that hasn't been touched in a while. We build decks and covered porches, and we take on bathroom rebuilds, flooring and general interior work on top of the new construction and fencing side of the business. Deck and porch building and remodeling and interior work cover that side of things. See more of our finished work in the project gallery.

Roofs and storm damage don't skip Kearney either. A tree limb through a roof, or a roof that's due for repair after Missouri weather, is the kind of job we take on here just like everywhere else we cover. See roofing repairs.

Questions from Kearney property owners

Do you build new homes in Kearney, or just additions?

Both. We frame full new builds and additions, and we can start with the site work if the lot needs graded first.

Can you fence a farm property, not just a subdivision lot?

Yes. Longer fence lines on farmland and acreage are work we do around Kearney.

Do you handle the trenching for a new build's utilities too?

We do. Trenching for power or conduit is usually part of the same project as the site prep and framing.

What if my property backs up to farmland?

That happens along the edges of Kearney. Tell us where the property line sits and what's next to it, so any grading or fencing work accounts for it.
