Clayton Fence Installation

New subdivisions have been going up across Clayton for a decade, pulled along by the pharmaceutical and manufacturing employers on the US 70 corridor and by families who want more lot for the money than they can find inside the Wake County line. That growth shapes the fencing work here. A large share of what we install in Clayton is a six-foot privacy fence going up on a lot that has been graded, seeded and handed over in the last two or three years, with neighbors on both sides doing the same thing.

Communities like Flowers Plantation, Glen Laurel and Riverwood generally have written fence standards - allowed heights, approved styles, which side the finished face has to point. We deal with those guidelines constantly and will hand you the drawing and spec sheet your architectural review committee needs before anything gets built. On the older streets near downtown Clayton and out toward the Neuse, there is usually more freedom in what you can put up and more reason to think about matching an existing fence line or working around mature hardwoods.

Building for new-construction lots

Fresh grading is the thing that trips up cheap fence work in Clayton. Builders move a lot of dirt, and that fill keeps settling long after closing. We dig past it, set every post in concrete, and check the line against your survey pins rather than the neighbor’s fence, which is not always where the property line actually runs. On sloped lots we will tell you upfront whether the panels get racked to follow the grade or stepped down in stages, because the two look very different when they are finished.

For material, vinyl is the easy answer in most Clayton backyards - our PrivacyLock panels interlock so there is no daylight between boards, and the SolarShield coating keeps the white from going chalky through a Carolina summer. If you want the warmth of wood, we build in pressure-treated pine with StayStrong pickets, or in the HeartWood wood-look vinyl if you like the look but not the maintenance. For pool enclosures and open backyards that back to a pond or common area, powder-coated aluminum gives you the boundary without giving up the view.
