Serving Ridgecrest, CA and surrounding areas. (442) 294-1704
Ridgecrest Fence & Deck is the deck builder serving North Edwards, CA, with pool decks, covered patios, and fencing built for the Mojave heat. We serve the entire unincorporated Kern County community around Edwards Air Force Base and respond to every inquiry within 1 business day.
When summer temperatures around North Edwards top 100 degrees for weeks at a time, a well-built pool deck becomes one of the most useful outdoor spaces on your property. Our pool deck construction service uses materials selected for UV resistance and desert heat, so your deck stays safe and comfortable through the hottest months.
Properties in North Edwards tend to sit on large, open lots where a custom deck can define the outdoor living space in a way that a standard off-the-shelf design never could. We design around your lot, your shade situation, and the way the desert wind moves across your property.
Direct sun in the Mojave Desert makes an uncovered deck uncomfortable for most of the day from late spring through early fall. A patio cover or covered deck creates usable shade that extends how often and how long you actually use the space.
Many homes near Edwards Air Force Base were built in the 1950s and 1960s, and any decks added during that era are well past their expected lifespan. We inspect older structures honestly and tell you whether repair or full replacement makes more sense for your situation.
Vinyl fencing holds up well in the sandy, abrasive desert conditions around North Edwards without the regular maintenance that wood requires. It does not crack or fade from UV exposure the way painted wood does, making it a practical choice for large lots in this area.
A pergola gives you a defined outdoor structure on large North Edwards lots without requiring full permitting of an enclosed space. Add shade fabric or a climbing plant and you have a cooler corner of your yard that is actually usable during the day.
North Edwards sits in the Mojave Desert at the edge of Kern County, where summer heat regularly climbs above 100 degrees and the sun is strong enough to degrade roofing and exterior surfaces faster than almost anywhere else in California. Decking materials that work fine in coastal climates can warp, crack, or fade quickly here without the right selection and treatment. The sandy desert soil also shifts seasonally, which puts stress on deck footings and can cause structural movement if posts are not set to the right depth for these specific ground conditions.
Winter nights in the Mojave drop below freezing more often than most people expect. The freeze-thaw cycle that comes with those overnight lows is hard on concrete footings, wood framing, and any unsealed fasteners. Strong desert winds add another layer of stress, loosening railings and wearing down exposed surfaces year-round. Any contractor building out here needs to account for all of these conditions, not just the heat. We work on properties throughout North Edwards and the surrounding area, and every project we build is designed for the actual climate, not a milder one.
Our crew works throughout North Edwards regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect deck builder work here. Because North Edwards is unincorporated Kern County, all permits go through Kern County Building and Planning rather than a city building department. We pull permits from that office routinely and know the review timelines and inspection requirements for outdoor structures in this area.
The community sits just outside Edwards Air Force Base along State Route 58, and many of the homes we work on in this area are mid-century ranch houses built to house base workers and their families. Those older structures often have original or minimally updated outdoor areas that need fresh footings, updated materials, and sometimes a complete rebuild from the ground up. We also see newer owner-occupied homes with large bare lots where homeowners want to build out a first-time outdoor living space.
We also serve California City, which is the closest larger community to the south and shares the same Kern County permit process. If you are in North Edwards or anywhere in this part of the high desert, call us and we will come out.
Call or submit the online form and we will respond within 1 business day. We schedule site visits around your availability, including evenings, so you do not need to take time off work.
We visit your property, measure the space, and discuss what you want to build. You receive a written estimate before anything is signed, so there are no surprise costs later.
We submit the permit application to Kern County Building and Planning and order materials once the permit is approved. Kern County review typically takes 1 to 3 weeks for standard residential projects.
Our crew builds the project, passes the county inspection, and does a final walkthrough with you before we leave. We do not consider a job done until you are satisfied with the result.

(442) 294-1704North Edwards is a small unincorporated community in Kern County, California, situated in the Mojave Desert near Rogers Dry Lake and Edwards Air Force Base, one of the most significant military flight test centers in the country. The population is modest and spread across large desert lots, giving the community a quiet, open character quite different from the denser towns to the south. Most of the housing stock dates from the mid-20th century, built to support base growth during the Cold War era, and many homes sit on quarter-acre or larger parcels with outbuildings, detached garages, and significant outdoor space.
Because North Edwards is unincorporated, county services handle most infrastructure and regulatory functions. Residents use State Route 58 to reach Mojave, Boron, and other communities along the desert corridor. The area attracts a mix of long-term local families and military-connected households who work at the base. Nearby Boron and the communities along the Route 58 corridor are all part of the same high-desert region we serve regularly.
