Fence Installation in Mount Airy, NC

Mount Airy is the largest town in Surry County, and it is the one place up here where a crew might spend the morning on a hundred feet of back yard three blocks off Main Street and the afternoon walking a boundary on forty acres. Both are ordinary work. What changes between them is the material, the gate, and how much walking the estimate takes.

The town sits on granite, and that is more than a piece of local trivia repeated for visitors. The ground near the quarry side of town turns hard without warning, and knowing that going in is the difference between a fence line that gets set properly and one that gets improvised. We would rather find the rock with you standing there during the estimate than surprise you with it on install day.

In town

Streets around downtown and the Ararat River greenway are mostly wood, and they should stay that way. Board privacy in back, picket where you want the front yard to stay open, and StayStrong pickets so the boards hold their shape instead of cupping and twisting after three summers. Vinyl belongs here too, particularly on newer lots where nobody wants to be out with a stain brush every other spring.

Out toward Toast, Bannertown and White Plains

Past the town limits the questions change. Woven field wire for cattle, mesh-backed rail where horses lean into it, split rail to mark a line and frame a driveway without closing off the view of the ridge behind it. Gates get sized for what actually has to pass through them, which out here means a tractor with an implement on the back rather than a riding mower.

Underneath all of it is red clay shot through with rock, and winters in this county deliver ice more reliably than snow. Clay holds water, water freezes, and a post tamped into dirt walks itself loose over a few seasons. Every post we set goes into concrete below the frost line.
