Privacy changes how you use your yard. Without it, the deck becomes a stage and the patio feels exposed. A well-designed fence or privacy screen turns your backyard into a room — a space where you relax without an audience. We build traditional wood privacy fences in cedar and pressure-treated pine, low-maintenance vinyl fencing that never needs staining, and composite privacy screens that integrate directly into deck structures. Our approach goes beyond running boards in a straight line. We consider sight lines from neighboring homes, HOA height restrictions, setback requirements, and how the fence interacts with existing landscaping and grading. On sloped lots — common throughout the Triangle — we use stepped or racked fence sections that follow the terrain cleanly rather than leaving awkward gaps at the bottom.

Scope

What We Include

Every fence is priced to the line and the scope, so we don't publish a number. What moves it: length, material, height, gates, and the grade of the lot.

Vinyl fencing in white, tan, and gray with lifetime color warranty
Composite privacy screens integrated into deck structures
Horizontal slat modern fence designs
Stepped and racked sections for sloped lots
Steel-reinforced posts with concrete footings

HOA-compliant designs with pre-approval coordination

What we build with

Materials

Chosen for how each one behaves in Triangle heat, humidity and clay.

Western Red Cedar
Naturally rot- and insect-resistant, and it weathers to a soft silver-grey if left unsealed.
Pressure-Treated Pine
Southern Yellow Pine, treated for ground contact. The most common choice for a full perimeter run.
Vinyl
No staining or sealing, and it holds its colour. Panels come in white and neutral tones.
Composite
The same material family as composite decking, matched to a deck already on the property.
Aluminium & Steel
Powder-coated black for sight lines that stay open — used where privacy is not the goal.
Black Hardware
Corrosion-resistant fasteners, hinges and post caps, specified to outlast the panels.

How we work

Our Fencing & Privacy Solutions Process

01
Property Survey
We walk the fence line, identify property corners, discuss HOA rules, and note any grading challenges, trees, or utility easements that affect the layout.
02
Material & Style Selection
You choose from material samples and fence styles. We provide a detailed estimate with per-linear-foot pricing, gate costs, and any grading work needed.
03
Installation
Posts are set in concrete, rails are leveled, and pickets or panels are installed plumb and straight. We protect existing landscaping and leave the site clean.
04
Final Inspection
We check every gate for smooth operation, verify all posts are plumb, and confirm the finished fence matches the approved design.

Diagnosis

Common Issues We See

Problems we frequently diagnose and solve for Triangle homeowners:

Posts rotting at the base from ground contact moisture
Fence leaning due to shallow post holes in clay soil
Gate sagging from inadequate hinge hardware or post support
Gaps at the bottom on sloped lots from improper installation method
HOA rejection for non-compliant material or color choices

Seasonal notes

Fencing can be installed year-round in the Triangle. Spring is the busiest season — homeowners want privacy before summer outdoor living begins. Fall installations benefit from cooler working conditions and faster scheduling.

Questions

Fencing & Privacy Solutions FAQs

What is the maximum fence height allowed in Holly Springs and Wake County?

Fence height limits depend on your zoning district, whether the fence is in the front or back yard, and your HOA. Some HOAs in the Triangle set specific materials, colors, or lower maximum heights. We check your HOA guidelines and the local rules before designing your fence to avoid costly do-overs.

How long does a wood privacy fence last in North Carolina?

It depends on the material and the upkeep. Pressure-treated pine needs regular staining. Cedar naturally resists rot and insects, though it will gray over time without stain. Vinyl and composite need very little maintenance. The biggest enemy of wood fences in NC is ground contact moisture, so we set every post in concrete above the soil line and use post caps to keep water out of the end grain.

Do I need to know my property lines before getting a fence?

Yes, and this is critical. A fence built even slightly over the property line can trigger a legal dispute and forced removal. If you do not have a recent survey, we recommend getting one before construction to eliminate guesswork. We work from survey pins or plats and set the fence just inside your property line as a buffer.

Can you build a privacy fence on a sloped yard?

Absolutely — sloped lots are common in the Triangle, especially in newer subdivisions built on graded land. We use two methods: stepped fencing (panels drop in uniform steps following the slope, leaving small triangular gaps at the bottom) and racked fencing (the top and bottom rails follow the slope angle for a continuous look with no gaps). Racked is generally preferred for privacy since it eliminates gaps, but stepped creates a cleaner architectural look. We recommend the right approach based on your slope angle and aesthetic preference.
