Secure Your Property with a Beautiful New Fence

Wood fence installation and repair for residential properties in Nashville.

When you need a clear boundary for your property in Nashville or want to keep kids and pets contained, a wood fence gives you privacy and structure without requiring a long-term commitment to maintenance-heavy materials. Flatrock Property Services installs and repairs wood fencing that is built to handle outdoor exposure, property lines, and the wear that comes with daily use.

This service includes full fence installation for privacy and boundary definition, as well as section replacements and repairs for existing fences. Posts are set in concrete, rails are secured with galvanized fasteners, and pickets are spaced for consistency and drainage. The fencing is designed to hold up in Middle Tennessee weather and to improve both security and curb appeal. It is a common upgrade for families with pets, for properties near busy streets, and for homeowners preparing to sell.

What to Expect During Fence Installation

Fence installation in Nashville starts with walking the property line and marking post locations based on your lot layout and any grade changes. Flatrock Property Services digs post holes to depth, sets posts in concrete, and allows time for curing before attaching rails and pickets. Gates are hung level and fitted with latches that function smoothly under load.

Once the fence is complete, you will see a straight line along your property, posts that do not lean, and pickets that are aligned and secure. The fence will provide a visual and physical barrier that keeps pets in and defines your yard without sagging or shifting. Wood fences require occasional staining or sealing to prevent weathering, but the structure itself is built to stay standing for years.

This service includes privacy fences, board-on-board styles, and picket fences, and it covers both new installations and section repairs where posts or rails have rotted or been damaged. Flatrock Property Services does not install vinyl, chain link, or ornamental metal fencing, and gate automation or electric openers are not included. The work is scheduled around property surveys and utility locates to avoid conflicts with buried lines.

Homeowners in Nashville typically ask about wood type, post depth, and how long a fence will last before they move forward with installation. These answers cover the details that affect cost and durability.

Questions About Fencing That Come Up Often

What type of wood is best for residential fencing?
Pressure-treated pine is the most common choice in Nashville because it resists rot and insect damage while staying affordable. Cedar is another option if you prefer natural resistance and a lighter color, though it costs more upfront.
How deep do fence posts need to be set?
Posts are typically set two to three feet deep depending on fence height and soil type. Deeper posts provide better stability, especially on sloped or sandy ground, and concrete is used to lock them in place.
Why do some fence boards warp or split over time?
Wood naturally expands and contracts with moisture and temperature changes, which can cause warping or splitting. Using kiln-dried lumber, proper fasteners, and regular sealing reduces this, but some movement is expected in untreated wood.
How long does a wood fence last in Middle Tennessee?
A well-built pressure-treated wood fence in Nashville typically lasts fifteen to twenty years with occasional maintenance. Cedar fences can last longer if sealed regularly, but exposure to sun and rain will eventually wear down any wood surface.
When is repair a better option than full replacement?
If only a few posts or pickets are damaged and the rest of the fence is solid, section repair is more cost-effective. Full replacement makes sense when most of the structure is leaning, rotted, or no longer holding fasteners securely.
