Fence lines at Lake Palestine follow the water, and that changes everything. Shoreline lots are irregular, often narrow and deep, with property lines that run down to the water and cross ground that moves: clay banks, slope, and soil that softens near the shoreline. The local failure mode is the post set like it was a city lot: driven shallow into bank soil, it holds for a season, then leans as the ground shifts, and on a lake property a leaning fence line often means a gate that will not latch over a dock approach or a pool enclosure that stops meeting code. Fencing here also does lake-specific jobs city fences do not: pool and dock safety enclosures for rentals, boathouse surroundings, and property lines that have to hold on ground the water works on all year.

Metal and wrought-iron fencing

Metal is the right call for lake properties: it does not rot, does not feed termites, and holds its lines through the wet-dry cycles that move wood fences off square near the water. We install ornamental metal fencing for frontages and pool enclosures, privacy-style metal panels where screening matters, and heavier configurations for long property lines and commercial perimeters. Wrought-iron style work gets the details right: consistent spacing, clean welds, properly set posts, and finishes that stand up to humidity off the water.

Pool, dock, and safety fencing

Rental properties with pools or docks carry safety obligations, and the fence is the first line of them. We build pool enclosures and dock-area fencing to meet requirements, with self-latching gates that hold adjustment through the season, because a gate that stops latching is a liability, not an inconvenience. For rentals, we can put these fences on a periodic check so they never fail quietly.

Fence repair

Storms bend panels, wind racks gates, limbs knock rails loose, and posts move when bank soil shifts. We repair rather than defaulting to replacement: straightening panels, resetting posts deeper, replacing damaged sections, and fixing gates that drag or latch wrong. On shoreline lines, repairs are often the difference between a fence that lasts another decade and one that gets rebuilt.

Gates that work

A fence is only as good as its gate, and lake properties run them hard: drive gates, yard gates, and dock-area gates that face wind and constant use. We hang gates on posts sized for the weight they carry and the cycles they see, so they swing clean for years instead of sagging within months.

Commercial fencing

Marinas, campgrounds, and waterfront businesses live by their perimeters: equipment areas, utility compounds, storage lots, and customer-facing frontages. Commercial fence work includes security fencing, decorative frontage fencing, and fence line maintenance on grounds contracts. Storm damage on commercial lines gets priority response through our commercial property contract.

Planning the line

Before any fence goes up, the line has to be right. We plan around property lines, utility easements, drainage, and grade changes so the fence sits correctly and does not fight the bank. Corners get set square, runs stay straight, and the fence follows the ground instead of floating over dips. On properties with existing fencing in poor shape, we walk the line and give a straight answer about what can be salvaged and what needs to go.
