At Northland Fence, we believe a fence should enhance your property’s security and curb appeal—not become an expensive, high-maintenance regret. That’s why we offer top-tier ornamental steel, vinyl, and black chain link fencing designed to last for decades. Some companies still push warping, rotting wood fences or flimsy, dent-prone aluminum fencing, but we know better. Wood may start out looking great, but give it a few brutal Minnesota winters, and you’ll be dealing with splinters, sagging boards, and endless repairs. As for cheap aluminum? One storm, a stray baseball, or even a strong gust of wind can leave it bent and battered. We also retired galvanized chain link fencing years ago—just like many HOAs did. Let’s be honest: while it was once the standard, it’s now an eyesore. If you’re matching an existing galvanized fence, that’s understandable. But when the neighbors upgrade, do you really want to be the last house on the block with a dull, rusting relic? Instead, our sleek black chain link fences provide a modern, HOA-friendly alternative that blends seamlessly into any landscape. At Northland Fence, we stand by quality, durability, and craftsmanship. No subcontractors. No cheap materials. No gimmicks. Just expert fence installation backed by industry-leading warranties and financing options to fit any budget. When it’s time to invest in a fence, don’t settle for something that will become a neighborhood eyesore. Choose Northland Fence—where quality meets longevity, and style never takes a backseat to function.

"Fence installation went exactly as outlined. Very satisfied with fence and employees."

Dan Buranen founded Top Line Fence in 1991, but his passion for fences started long before his professional career. As a child, he spent hours building with Erector Sets and Lincoln Logs. This hobby evolved into subcontracting for fence companies, dabbling with fence projects for his own clients, and ultimately launching his own company. Today, he's fiercely dedicated to his home state of Minnesota and the Twin Cities area customers who rely on him for custom, quality fence solutions. Hiring people he knows and trusts, Dan oversees every project from start to finish. The company is driven by his strong work ethic and hands-on approach, ensuring an exceptional experience and results that exceed expectations. The company can maintain its high-quality control and workmanship standards with 10 acres of property for receiving and storing fence materials. Find out how Top Line Fence can design and build the right fence for your home or business, or simply contact us for a FREE estimate today.

"The only problem I saw was the barb wire was not straight on a 30 foot section and the dirt around a few of the posts was not packed right. The price was pretty good and they did the job the next day after estimate. One of the workers was kind of rude to me after the job was done? all in all I may hire them again but will get more than 1 estimate next time"

We are a well rounded company with over 70yrs combined experience in the Construction and Handyman Industry. You name it we will and can do it!

"I requested a tree removal, the response was to provide a quote based on my unexperienced visual estimation. There was good communication up until the day they were supposed to show up. The day we agreed to do the work there was little to no communication (despite my messages) with no updates on what is going on. I asked the following day to see what the plan was (gave them the benefit of the doubt, things happen); the response was "I showed up yesterday and the tree was bigger then we expected, we want 3X the price we quoted". 1. If you are going to quote site unseen you should hold up to your commitment. I didn't force you to quote without coming out to look at the tree, I provided my best guess on size (its not a 90' or even a 40' tree). 2. If you show up to look at my property, come talk to me and discuss your concerns. 3. Expect a honest review of your (un)professionalism"

"This was the worst experience we have ever had with a home project. We went with this company because of the type of fence we wanted and they said they would core our concrete. From the beginning it was not good. The fence was installed incorrectly, and had dents and chips. They said they would core our concrete for the posts, but they saw cut it and cracked a portion of our concrete. They set and reset the posts three times to get it level and never did get it plumb. You would hope the company would be willing to make it right, but it was very difficult to get responses. We almost got a lawyer. I would never recommend this company! I wish we would have looked at Angies list because they were listed #31 out of #34 when we did look which was after we started having problems with them."

FAQs for gate for driveway or security installation and replacement projects in Dayton, MN

Installation timeframes vary based on gate complexity and site conditions. Basic manual gates require one to two days when site preparation is already complete. Automated systems often need additional electrical work and testing time, potentially extending the project to three or more days. Weather conditions, special permits, or custom features may further lengthen the timeline.

Regular maintenance helps extend your gate's lifespan and ensure proper operation. Wood gates need periodic sealing or staining to prevent weather damage. Metal gates benefit from rust prevention treatments. For automated systems, inspect motors, hinges, and electronic components regularly. Lubricate moving parts according to manufacturer recommendations and promptly address unusual noises or operational changes.

Most standard homeowner's insurance policies include coverage for permanently installed structures like security gates under the property's dwelling or other structures protection. However, high-value automated systems might warrant discussion with your insurance provider. Some policies may offer liability coverage if your gate injures someone, but specific terms vary by insurer and policy.

Security gates can be adapted for sloped driveways, though installation requires specialized planning. Swing gates need level ground, but professionals can implement custom solutions using adjustable hinges or modified designs. Sliding gates offer another alternative for inclined surfaces. Professional assessment is recommended to determine the most appropriate configuration for your specific gradient.

Well-designed security gates incorporate emergency access provisions. Many localities require gates to have override mechanisms allowing first responder entry during emergencies. Options include Knox boxes (secure containers holding access keys), manual release mechanisms, or specialized access codes. Consult with local fire and emergency services about requirements before finalizing your gate design.
