Business Profile
S & T Fencing, formerly Watkins Fencing, is a licensed fencing contractor in Nicholasville, KY with over 25 years of experience. The company builds custom fences one board at a time, using deeper post holes for added stability—an essential feature in Kentucky’s clay soil, which can cause posts to shift over time. They offer a range of materials: ornamental aluminum and steel, chain link, vinyl privacy, and farm fencing made from poplar or oak. Custom-designed gates and fence painting are also available. For local homeowners, common issues include rotting from moisture, leaning posts due to soil expansion, and wind damage. S & T Fencing addresses these by using pressure-treated lumber, setting posts below the frost line, and applying weather-resistant finishes. Their work can be seen near landmarks like Brannon Crossing and the Jessamine County line, serving neighborhoods such as Edgewood and Lakewood. Payment options include Visa, Mastercard, Discover, checks, or cash, making it easy for residents to invest in durable, locally-built fences.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of fencing materials do you offer for properties in Nicholasville?
We provide a variety of materials to suit different needs and styles. Our options include ornamental aluminum or steel for a classic look with minimal maintenance, chain link for durability and security, vinyl privacy fencing for seclusion, and farm fencing made from poplar or oak for rural properties. All materials are chosen to withstand Kentucky’s climate.
How do you handle fence posts in the clay soil common around Nicholasville?
Clay soil can cause posts to shift or rot if not installed properly. We dig post holes deeper than standard—typically 36 inches or more—and use concrete to anchor them firmly. For wood posts, we also treat them with a sealant to resist moisture and decay. This method ensures your fence stays straight and stable for years.
Can you paint or stain an existing fence to match my home?
Yes, we offer fence painting and staining services for both new and existing fences. Whether you want to refresh an old wooden fence or add color to a new installation, our team uses high-quality paints and stains that protect against sun and rain. We can match nearly any color to complement your home’s exterior.
