Fence Installation in Pittsboro, NC

Everything in Pittsboro still routes around the courthouse circle, but the town on the other side of it is changing quickly. Large planned communities have gone up on the eastern side toward Jordan Lake, established places like Fearrington Village sit along the 15-501 corridor to the south, and beyond both of those Chatham County is still what it has always been - wooded acreage, long gravel drives and small farms. We install in all three, and the job is genuinely different in each.

In the planned communities, the constraint is the architectural review committee. Height, material, color and finished-side orientation are usually spelled out, and a fence that does not match the guidelines has to come back down at your expense. We hand you the drawing and spec sheet to submit, wait for the approval, and then build to it. Ornamental aluminum is popular in these neighborhoods because it satisfies the guidelines, encloses a pool to code, and does not block the view across common areas. Wood privacy is the other common answer where the goal is an actual screen between yards.

Out on the county roads the problems are physical rather than administrative. Lots are wooded, the ground rolls, and there is almost always a septic system and a well somewhere in the path. We locate the drain field before we dig, work post locations around significant root systems instead of through them, and decide with you on site whether panels get racked to follow the slope or stepped down. On heavily treed lots we will also be straightforward about how much clearing a fence line actually requires, because that work is real and it belongs in the quote rather than as a surprise later.

Soil, weather and why posts go in concrete

Chatham County clay is heavy and slow-draining. It holds water through a wet spring, then shrinks as it dries, and a post that was only tamped into that clay will be leaning by the second year. Add winter ice storms that bring limbs down across fence lines and summer thunderstorms that push on any long run, and the case for doing the footing properly is not a sales argument - it is the reason the fence is still standing in fifteen years. Every post we set goes in concrete, and gate and corner posts get the largest footings on the job.

Pittsboro Fence Questions

My community has architectural guidelines. Can you build to them?

Yes, and it is routine here. Planned communities around Pittsboro typically specify allowed heights, materials, colors and which way the finished side faces. We give you a drawing and a material spec you can submit for review, and we do not order material until your committee has approved the plan.

Our lot is wooded and slopes. How does the fence follow that?

Two ways, and they look completely different. Racked panels follow the grade continuously, which suits a gentle, even slope. Stepped panels stay level and drop in stages, which leaves triangular gaps at the bottom on steep ground. We will tell you which one your lot calls for and show you what it will look like before you commit.

We are on septic. Does that affect where the fence can go?

It affects where posts can go. We locate the tank and the drain field before we dig, and we route the fence line around them rather than putting a footing through a distribution line. If the only sensible fence line crosses the field, we will talk through the options with you instead of guessing.

Can you fence a few acres without fencing all of it?

Yes, and on the larger Chatham County parcels that is usually the right answer. A fenced yard and dog area near the house with rail along the drive costs a fraction of enclosing the whole property and gives you most of what you actually wanted. We can lay it out so it extends later.
