Questions

Fence questions, answered plainly.

About materials, posts, gates, pools, rules, neighbors, schedules and quotes.

Getting started

Is the estimate really free?

Yes. The Free Estimate comes with no obligation. You see a written scope before any work begins or anything is scheduled.

What areas do you serve?

Nashville and nearby communities across Middle Tennessee, including Franklin, Brentwood, Hendersonville, Mt. Juliet, Smyrna and more. See the service areas page for the full list.

Do you build for homes, farms and businesses?

Yes. We build and repair fences and gates for homes, horse and livestock farms, apartments, HOAs, churches, schools and commercial and industrial sites.

Can I hire you for a small job?

Yes. Many calls are for one gate, a few boards or a single post.

Materials and styles

What is the difference between cedar and treated pine?

Cedar is naturally rot resistant, stable and warm in color. Treated pine is sturdy and economical. Many fences use treated posts with cedar pickets.

Which fence needs the least upkeep?

Vinyl, aluminum and composite need the least. Wood needs periodic cleaning and staining, and we explain a simple routine.

How much privacy do different styles give?

Solid privacy and board-on-board fences give the most. Shadowbox and slat designs filter views, and picket and aluminum fences are open.

Can you mix materials?

Yes. Wood panels with steel posts, vinyl with aluminum gates and treated posts with cedar pickets are common combinations.

Posts, gates and pools

How deep are fence posts set?

A common guide is about a third of the post length in the ground and below the frost line, in concrete or compacted gravel. Corners and gates get larger posts set deeper.

Why does my gate sag?

Weak posts, light hinges or missing braces are common causes. Heavy gates need strong posts and good hardware.

What makes a pool fence safe?

Climb-resistant design, enough height, small gaps and a self-closing, self-latching gate. Confirm local requirements with your city, county or insurer.

Rules, lines and neighbors

Do I need a permit or HOA approval?

It depends on where you live. Check with your local codes office and HOA, and we help you prepare drawings, photos and samples.

Where is my property line?

A survey or plat shows it. We recommend a survey when the line is unclear, and we can work from the layout you confirm.

Should I tell my neighbor?

It is courteous and often helpful, and some places require notice. We can provide a simple layout drawing for the conversation.

Cost and schedule

What drives the cost of a fence?

Length, height, material, posts, gates, slope, soil, access and removal. A written scope shows exactly what is included.

How do I compare quotes?

Ask each company for the same details: length, height, materials, post size and depth, gates, removal and cleanup. Our quote scorecard helps you compare.

How long does installation take?

Many backyard fences take a few days to a couple of weeks, and larger or custom jobs take longer. Weather and approvals can affect the schedule.
