Farm Fence in Lawsonville, NC

Lawsonville is a crossroads in the northern end of Stokes County, up where NC 8 runs toward the Virginia line and the properties are measured in acres and fence rows rather than lot lines. There is no subdivision work here. The jobs are boundary, pasture, livestock and gates.

A lot of these tracts already have a fence on them, and the first real question is what to do with it. An old fence row usually tells you where the line is, which is genuinely useful. Whether it can be built from is a different question, and the answer is normally no once you look at what is left of the posts at ground level. We would rather walk it and give you the straight version than tie new wire to something that is going to fail in five years and take the new work with it.

Beyond that it is standard rural build: braced corner assemblies set in concrete, woven field wire stretched to those corners for cattle, mesh-backed rail wherever horses are kept because nothing on it will cut an animal that leans, and gates sized for the equipment rather than the pickup. The corners are the part that matters most, because everything else is only as tight as what it pulls against.

The ground up here is clay with rock through it, and it holds water. Winters in this part of the county deliver ice more reliably than snow, and ice loads a fence line and every limb hanging over it. Posts go into concrete below the frost line and we would rather clear a line back from a heavy canopy at the start than repair a crushed section in February.

Distance is a scheduling problem and we treat it as one. Call (336) 646-7288 any hour of any day, and we will come out and walk it. The estimate is free.
