"Steve and his team did a wonderful job on our fence! They hauled out our old one and thoroughly installed a new one for us, taking all the right steps throughout. It looks wonderful, and I no longer have to worry about our dog escaping. They also installed 2 gates that work very well. I found this company to be very affordable and thoughtful, well worth the price!! I haven't been able to get the best pictures, due to rain, but will attach what I can."

"Carson of Szoke Lawn & Landscape came to my property and have me a quote for cleaning up a previous flower bed and replacing the current boarder. Carson's quote was reasonable. Carson and his employee did an exceptional job. The landscaping looks so much better. Carson did a great job of communicating with me. I would strongly recommend him for your landscaping needs."

"Lance and his company was most professional and courteous before we even committed to an install. Once we scheduled an install, it was well executed and looked and worked great. Training was done by a superb trainer that our dog took to immediately. You can tell they care about their profession as well as the animal. A year later, damage was done by a third party. Lance himself showed up promptly on a holiday weekend to fix the fence and save our weekend. I can't recommend Lance's Hidden Fencing enough. A+ job."

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Your Athens property is ideal for a fence installation if the boundaries are clearly marked and the yard’s terrain is not excessively steep. Athens’ clay soil can impact post stability, so check for proper drainage and soil compaction. Before starting, confirm there are no underground utilities or easements, and ensure your plans align with local zoning and setback requirements for fencing projects.

Helpful?

When hiring a fencing contractor in Athens, prioritize those with proven experience in local fence installation and knowledge of Athens’ clay soil challenges. Confirm they carry proper insurance and can provide references from recent projects. Request a written project timeline and details about site cleanup. Reliable fencing pros communicate clearly, avoid demanding full payment upfront, and are transparent about any potential changes during the project.

Helpful?

Athens offers a range of fence contractor options, including specialists in residential, commercial, and agricultural fencing. Some focus on privacy or decorative installations, while others handle security or pet containment. Larger companies may offer standardized processes and warranties. Always verify that your chosen fencing contractor is familiar with Athens’ soil and weather, and ask about experience with local fence installation regulations.

Helpful?

In Athens, hidden costs during fence installation can arise from removing old fencing, clearing dense vegetation, or addressing uneven ground. Clay soil may require extra materials for proper drainage around fence posts. You might also need a property survey to confirm boundaries, and permit fees can add up. After installation, repairing disturbed landscaping or upgrading gates can also contribute to unexpected expenses.

Helpful?

In Athens, vinyl and aluminum are popular for fence installation due to their resistance to moisture and minimal upkeep in OH’s humid summers. For privacy fencing, pressure-treated wood like cedar performs well, especially with galvanized fasteners to prevent rust. Given Athens’ clay-heavy soil, adding gravel at post bases helps with drainage and stability, making your fence more durable in local conditions.
