Fence lines at Lake Cherokee do a specific job: they mark lot boundaries that run through woodland and down to the water, they enclose boat-house areas and yards, and they take storm damage on exposed points like everything else here. The ground makes it hard. Shoreline lots are irregular, often narrow and deep, with clay banks and slope near the water, and pine roots spread shallow across the whole lot, so a post driven without a plan hits a root or sits in soil that moves. The local failure mode is the fence line set like a city lot: shallow posts in bank soil, panels racked by wind off the water, and a gate over the boat-house approach that stops latching within a season, which on a lake property means the fence stops doing its job exactly where it matters most.

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 yard enclosures, privacy-style metal panels where screening matters, and heavier configurations for long lot 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.

Boat-house and water-side fencing

Boat-house areas and dock approaches need enclosure and definition, and the fencing there takes wind and moisture at full strength. We build and repair water-side fencing with posts set for the soil conditions and hardware that does not quit, so gates swing clean through the season instead of sagging by fall.

Fence repair

Shoreline fences at Lake Cherokee take storm damage with a twist: bent panels, racked gates, loose rails, and posts moved by bank soil. Repair comes first, with posts reset deeper and runs straightened. On shoreline lines, those repairs are often the difference between another decade of service and a rebuild.

Gates that work

A fence is only as good as its gate, and lake properties run them hard: drive gates, yard gates, and boat-house 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

Rental properties and association areas live by their perimeters: shared amenity areas, storage lots, and 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, grade changes, and pine roots so the fence sits correctly and does not fight the land. 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.
