Fence Installation in Sandy Ridge, NC

Sandy Ridge sits in the far northern end of Stokes County, up toward the Virginia line in ridge and hollow country where a property can have three different exposures on it. That variety is the reason we do not price these over the phone. The section of a run along the top of a ridge and the section down in the hollow are not the same job, even on the same fence.

Wind is the factor people underestimate. Exposed ground up here takes steady wind, and a solid privacy fence is a wall for it to push on. That does not mean you cannot have one. It means the posts go deeper, the spacing comes in tighter, and we are straight with you at the estimate about which parts of your property are exposed and which are sheltered enough not to worry about. Where privacy is not the goal, an open fence that wind passes through is simply the better answer.

Most of the work here is agricultural. Pasture division, boundary, horse fencing and entrances. Mesh-backed rail is what we build wherever horses are kept, for the plain reason that nothing on it will injure an animal that leans into it. Woven field wire on braced corners handles cattle. Post-and-rail marks a line and frames a drive without closing off the ridgeline behind it.

Ice does more damage to fences in this county than snow does. It loads rails and it loads every limb hanging over the line, and the sections we get called back to look at after a bad winter are the ones that ran under a heavy canopy or sat on posts that were tamped into clay instead of set in concrete. Every post we set goes below the frost line in concrete.

Call (336) 646-7288 at any hour, weekends included, and we will set a time to come walk the property. The estimate costs nothing.
