Professional Fence Contractor in Highland Springs, VA

In Highland Springs, privacy fencing is our most requested style, especially for homes near busy roads like Nine Mile Road and Airport Drive. Six-foot wood privacy fences provide security, noise reduction, and create private outdoor living spaces. For front yards, many Highland Springs homeowners prefer more open designs like picket fencing or decorative aluminum that enhance curb appeal while defining property lines. Chain link remains a practical, affordable option for larger properties or backyards where containing pets and children is the main concern.

Most residential fence installations in Highland Springs take 1-2 days to complete. After approving your quote, we typically schedule installation within 2-3 weeks, depending on our current workload and weather conditions. The installation begins with marking utility lines and property boundaries, followed by setting posts in concrete. Once the concrete sets (usually overnight), we install the fence panels or boards and any gates you’ve selected. We always clean up thoroughly after completion so you can immediately enjoy your new fence.

Yes, we’re fully familiar with all Henrico County regulations that affect Highland Springs fence installation. These include specific requirements for fence height (typically limited to 3.5 feet in front yards and 7 feet in back yards), setbacks from property lines, and corner lot visibility considerations. We handle the entire Henrico County permit process</a> for you, including submitting required documentation. Our knowledge of local codes saves you time and ensures your fence meets all county requirements, preventing potential issues with neighbors or code enforcement.

For Highland Springs families with children and pets, we recommend fences at least 4-5 feet tall with minimal gaps to prevent escapes. Wood privacy fencing works well for most backyards, creating safe play areas away from streets. For front yards where visibility is important, aluminum ornamental fencing with narrowly spaced pickets keeps small dogs contained while maintaining curb appeal. We can install special child-safe and pet-safe gates with secure latches positioned out of children’s reach. For properties with determined diggers, we offer buried mesh barriers or concrete footings that prevent tunneling under the fence.

Highland Springs has varied soil conditions that can affect fence stability. We address this by digging deeper post holes (typically 24-30 inches) and using more concrete per post than the minimum standard. For areas with particularly challenging soil or drainage issues, we might install gravel at the bottom of post holes to improve drainage and prevent water accumulation that could lead to frost heave in winter. Our installation technique ensures that your fence remains straight and secure despite seasonal ground changes common in our region.

Wood fences in Highland Springs should be cleaned once a year and treated with stain or sealant every 2-3 years to protect against our humid summers and occasional harsh winters. We recommend checking boards and posts after severe weather events, which can sometimes loosen connections. Vinyl fencing requires only occasional cleaning with soap and water to remove dirt and pollen, especially after spring pollen season. For chain link, check periodically for any signs of rust, particularly at connections, and trim vegetation away from all fence types to prevent moisture damage and extend your fence’s life.

Yes, we can match existing fences in your Highland Springs neighborhood for a consistent look on your street. We’ll take measurements and photos of nearby fences to ensure the height, style, and color of your new fence blends seamlessly with surrounding properties. This is especially important in neighborhoods with established fence patterns or homeowner association guidelines. Even if you want something slightly different, we can recommend styles that complement existing fences while meeting your specific needs for privacy, security, or decoration.
