Fences & Gates in Lawrenceburg, TN | Oliver Fencing

Lawrenceburg's humid summers and frequent rain soak into untreated wood, causing warping, splitting, and rot. Poor drainage around fence posts accelerates decay. That's why we always use pressure-treated lumber and set posts in gravel for drainage. For extra protection, we recommend a water-repellent sealant every two years.

Look for signs like a leaning fence, gaps between the post and ground, or wood that feels soft when poked with a screwdriver. Often the base rots while the top looks fine. If you notice any of these, call us for a free inspection—we can usually replace just the bad posts without rebuilding the whole fence.

For smaller dogs, a 4-foot pressure-treated picket fence works well. For larger dogs or to keep deer out, go with at least a 6-foot privacy fence. We also install chain-link with a vinyl coating that resists rust and looks clean. For extra security, we can add a buried wire along the bottom to prevent digging.
