Princeton Fence Installation

Princeton is a small town on US 70 between Smithfield and Goldsboro, surrounded by working farmland and a scattering of rural homesites on generous lots. There is no HOA-driven fence culture here. What people want is a fence that does a specific job - keeps a dog in, marks a boundary, closes in a yard, contains livestock - and holds up for twenty years without a lot of attention.

Rail fence does a great deal of that work. Split rail along a driveway or road frontage defines the property without closing off the view, and three-board rail gives a cleaner, more finished look for a house set back from the road. Where the fence also has to contain animals, we run woven wire mesh behind the rails so nothing pushes through the openings while you keep the traditional appearance from the road.

Closer to the house, wood privacy fence in pressure-treated pine is still the most common request, and it is a sound choice as long as it is built for the conditions. Humidity here is relentless through the summer and wood fails at the ground line first, so ground-contact-rated material and posts set properly in concrete matter more than the picket style does. For anyone tired of staining, vinyl privacy and vinyl rail cost more at the start and nothing afterward, and our HeartWood finish gives you the look of stained wood without the schedule that comes with it.

The soil out this way is lighter than the heavy red clay you find west of Raleigh, but it still holds water in the low spots and still shifts. Every post goes in concrete, gate and corner posts get bigger footings, and long runs are braced at the ends so they stay tight instead of sagging across a field.
