Helicopter Services

When our jobs are so remote and rough that not even our toughest mules can get there we call in the helio to finish the job. We have a very skilled "tough crew" who are capable of rigging and long lining to get equipment, supplies, materials, and personnel to wilderness or limited access locations safely and efficiently.

solar system installation services

Harness the power of the sun with Noland Tough’s expert solar system installation services for remote areas. Whether it's powering water pumps, lighting, or other essential equipment, we specialize in designing and installing reliable solar systems in the most rugged and hard-to-reach locations. Let us help you achieve energy independence and efficiency, no matter where your project takes you. Contact us today to learn more about how we can bring solar power to your remote site!

Spring Development Services

Spring developments are always unique to the terrain where the water source is located, no two spring developments are ever the same. These developments are vital to your operation and we know how to get the water flowing out of the rock and into a drinker. Developing a spring is not only good for getting your cattle a drink but also to redirect livestock traffic away from the riparian areas.

Fabrication Services

At Noland Tough, we offer custom fabrication services tailored to meet the unique needs of your project. From building durable fence components to crafting custom gates and livestock watering systems, our skilled team fabricates high-quality, long-lasting solutions designed for tough environments. With years of experience, we ensure each piece is built to precise specifications, providing both strength and functionality. Whether you need a custom solution for remote terrain or specialized equipment, Noland Tough delivers expert fabrication you can count on.

Remote Project Capability

Access Where Others Stop

Some projects begin where the road ends. Steep slopes, canyon terrain, dense vegetation and protected land may prevent conventional vehicles from reaching the work area.

Noland Tough can combine pack animals, experienced field crews and helicopter-supported transportation to move personnel, tools and materials into remote locations. This flexibility allows essential infrastructure work to continue even when the project cannot be reached by truck.

Our team evaluates the route, cargo, terrain and destination before selecting an appropriate transportation method for the project.

Ranch and Land Infrastructure

Services Built Around Real Field Needs

Specialty land projects often involve several connected needs. A spring development may require new pipeline, a solar pump and a livestock drinker. A remote fence project may require custom gates, packed materials or helicopter transport.

Noland Tough can coordinate these related services through one experienced team. Our broad capabilities help reduce the complications that can arise when several contractors must work at the same difficult location.

We serve ranchers, agricultural operations, private landowners, commercial organizations, conservation groups and public agencies that need durable work completed in demanding Arizona environments.

NATURES FED CATTLE CO

I have found NOLAND TOUGH FENCE company to be a company of high integrity! We were faced with some very challenging cattle fence construction issues on one of our ranches in Yavapai County, AZ. Cash and Crystal were recommended to us for the job that our other crew could not complete. The ability to construct cattle fence in rough terrain with specific building specifications was needed. Noland Tough Fence exceeded our expectations, as they simply did exactly what they said their crew would do. The crew stayed on the job, and completed through pass of Forest Service inspections. I would use the the following words to describe this company, Diligent, Honest, Integrity. I highly recommend NOLAND TOUGH FENCE CO.

Tim Petersen CEO

THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONSERVANCY

We used Noland Tough to fence one of our archaeological preserves near Cornville, AZ. They completed the project on time and they built a well crafted, sturdy fence. They also left the project area clean and free of brush and debris. We will be using this company again!

Jim Walker SW Regional Director

THE CARTWRIGHT RANCH

The Cartwright Ranch has used Noland Tough since 2008 for many different projects. We have had them work both on our private property and on our US Forest allotment. They can handle big projects because they are organized and they have the many years of experience it takes do this type of work. We have had them install tens of miles of new fence, repair fence, install gates, do spring development, manage and coordinate projects with strategic partners such as the USFS, USDA, NRCS and others, clean and repair damaged springs and spring boxes, run and repair water pipelines, haul and set water troughs, haul and install water storage tanks, haul and install solar pumps, clean and spread Bentonite in cattle tacks, clear trails and brush for fire abatement, pack materials into very rugged and remote areas with mules and horse, haul cattle, brand cattle and even hired them to help us roundup cattle. I respect Cash and Crystal as they are upfront, honest, fair and always do what they say. I trust them and that is why we use them exclusively.

John Smith OWNER

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Great fence contractor. Worked with the Noland’s on large federal and state projects throughout eastern Arizona. They were responsive and quick to handle changes, and were good to work with.

Anita Thompson Project Manager

SCHMIDT RANCH

Noland Tough Fence, great people that do outstanding work! We have worked with them now on several projects, and they can do it all. No one is better for rugged remote country. They are honest, and helped us get organized to budget and plan for the bigger projects. Nothing but good things to say about them, their work and we highly recommend their services!

Terry Schmidt Owner

Is there any location you can't handle?

No. At Noland Tough, no job is too remote. We specialize in rough terrain and hard-to-reach areas, using horses, mules, and even helicopters if needed to get materials to the site. Our team thrives in challenging environments, ensuring the job gets done no matter where it is.

How do you transport materials to places without road access?

We use a combination of pack animals, including horses and mules, to carry materials over rugged terrain. For larger loads or extremely difficult areas, we can coordinate with helicopters to long-line supplies. We've been doing this for years and know how to navigate the toughest landscapes.

Is your fencing really built to last in harsh conditions?

Absolutely. We use only high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship to ensure that our fences withstand the toughest elements and terrains. Whether it's extreme weather, wildlife, or rough landscapes, our fences are designed to hold up for the long term.
