Madison, Tennessee Fence Company

Our crews install fences in Madison through all four seasons, and winter rarely stops the work. Freezing nights are common here, but only a handful of days each year stay below freezing from morning to night, so the ground stays workable. Rain moves a start date more often than cold does, because saturated clay makes for messy digging and unsteady footing. Winter is also when your yard is at its emptiest, so the work stays clear of your plantings.

A vinyl or aluminum fence needs the least upkeep here, because neither one decays at the soil line and neither needs refinishing after a wet spring. Roughly fifty inches of rain a year and a long humid summer are the main sources of wear on a fence in this part of Tennessee. Wood is the most common privacy fence on these lots, and it performs well when it is stained. We ask that wood fences be stained within 60 days of installation for workmanship warranty coverage, and that stain also slows the weathering.

We build both, from backyard privacy fences on residential lots to perimeter and security work for commercial properties. The retail and office properties along Gallatin Pike sit a few blocks from the neighborhoods we fence, so we are often on both kinds of jobs in the same week. Commercial jobs also draw on temporary chain link panels, which we rent out by the week or the month for construction sites and events. Tell us what your property needs, and we will put together a free estimate.

A six-foot wood privacy fence is the most common choice for dogs, since a fence they cannot see through gives them far less to react to. Chain link works well along a long rear line, and a black or green coating helps it blend into a tree line instead of standing out. For small dogs, we often use the puppy picket aluminum style, which adds extra pickets near the ground to prevent a smaller animal from slipping between them. The gap under any fence is worth discussing before we build, especially on the uneven ground out toward Neely's Bend.

A solid wood fence is the most effective way to block sight lines on a typical Madison lot, where a back window can look straight into the yard next door. Board-on-board and cap and trim styles leave no gaps between pickets, so nothing shows through even after the boards dry and shrink. Shadow box alternates the boards side to side, which blocks the view at an angle and lets wind pass through the fence. Vinyl privacy panels give you the same privacy with less upkeep if you would rather not stain.
