Oxford Fence Installation

Oxford has a housing stock worth doing right by. The streets around the courthouse square and out along College, Hillsboro, and Williamsboro carry homes from the tobacco-era decades, and a fence in front of one of them either fits or it does not. There is not much middle ground. That means paying attention to height and proportion, picking a picket profile that matches the period, and resisting the urge to default to a six-foot solid panel where a four-foot picket is what the house is asking for.

Behind the house is a different question. Backyard privacy in Oxford is the same practical job it is anywhere: contain a dog, screen a neighbor, make a yard usable. Wood is the volume choice and the most economical. Vinyl with PrivacyLock interlocking panels costs more up front and gives it back over the years you do not spend staining, and it holds a tight line when a summer storm hits a solid panel head-on.

Ornamental aluminum sits between the two — open enough to keep a view, finished enough to belong at the front of a period home, and finished with SolarShield powder coating so it stays the color you picked. On a property where you want the front of the house visible from the street and the back of the yard private, running aluminum in front and wood or vinyl behind is a combination we build constantly.

All of it lands in Granville County clay, which holds water and moves through the winter, so every post is set in concrete deep enough to get below that movement. If you want a number, someone comes out and measures the actual property. Estimates are free, the office is open 24 hours a day and seven days a week, and the number is (919) 335-4008.
