Fence Installation in Westfield, NC

Westfield sits in northern Surry County along NC 89, between Mount Airy to the west and the Sauratown Mountains rising to the east, and the properties here reflect that in-between position. Wooded tracts, pasture cut out of timber, houses set well back from the road, and boundaries that have not been walked in a long time.

Two things separate this from flatter work. The first is trees. Most fence lines here run through or along woods, and a fence line has to be cleared before it can be built. That is not a detail to leave vague, because the difference between a walked-out line and one buried in briars and saplings is real work, and it belongs in the estimate rather than in a phone call on install morning.

The second is rock. As the ground rises toward Hanging Rock and the Sauratowns the soil gets thinner and ledge comes up closer to the surface. A run can dig easy and then stop cold. We plan for it, carry what is needed for hard digging, and would rather shift a post two feet than set one shallow and hope.

What actually gets built here is mostly agricultural and semi-rural. Woven field wire for cattle, mesh-backed rail for horses because nothing on it will injure an animal that leans, split rail to mark a drive and a boundary without closing anything in, and board or vinyl privacy nearer the house. Wherever the fence runs under a canopy, we want the line cleared back, because ice loading limbs is what takes fences down in this county.

Call (336) 646-7288, day or night, any day of the week, and we will set a time to come out and walk the property. The on-site estimate is free.
