Fencing a mountain lot is a different job than fencing a subdivision. The ground is rarely flat, the soil goes from clay to rock without warning, and the line you want to fence is usually the one the excavator would rather not follow. We build and repair fence on ground that slopes.
On a grade you either step the fence down in sections or rack it to follow the slope, and picking wrong is what leaves those triangle gaps at the bottom that a dog goes straight through. We work that out before anything gets set.
The other issue is depth. Hit rock at fourteen inches and the temptation is to call it deep enough, which is exactly why so many fences up here lean within a couple of seasons. Frost heave and saturated clay do the rest. Posts that are set properly, with drainage at the bottom of the hole, are the difference between a fence you forget about and one you keep propping up.
Pet-friendly is one of the strongest filters on a rental listing, and a fenced yard is what unlocks it. If you are adding fencing to a short-term rental, it is worth thinking about it alongside the rest of the yard: we do this kind of work as part of our rental amenities jobs, and the fence line and the usable yard space usually get planned together.
We cover the North Georgia mountains, plus the nearby corners of western North Carolina and southeast Tennessee. The shaded areas on the map are the ZIP codes we serve. Tap or hover on any area to see the town.
Send photos of the line you want fenced and anything already standing through the estimate form. A wide shot that shows the slope helps more than a close-up of the broken part.
