Guidance on finding your property line, using surveys, plats and markers, and planning a fence placement that avoids boundary disputes.
Fences go on property lines, and many disputes start there. Homeowners in Nashville often are not sure exactly where the line runs, and an assumption can lead to a fence in the wrong place. We cannot replace a surveyor, but we can help you understand the documents you have, find markers and plan placement so your fence goes where you mean it to.
We begin with a Free Estimate and ask for your plat, survey or closing documents. We walk the yard with you, look for survey pins and markers and show how we would set the layout. We explain when to hire a professional surveyor, how setbacks and easements affect placement and how to talk with neighbors. You receive a written layout so everyone understands where the fence will go before digging begins. If you are unsure about the property line, pause before you build. A few hours of checking documents and markers can save weeks of conflict, and in some cases a professional survey is the best step. We are glad to work from whatever you have and tell you honestly what we recommend.
A plat, survey or closing packet often shows the line, and we help you read it.
Survey pins or monuments may mark corners, and we help find and protect them.
If the line is unclear, a professional survey settles it, and we explain how it fits into your project.
