There are many benefits to installing a fence around your home. Not only can a fence add beauty to your home’s exterior, but it can further protect your home, adding an additional layer of defense from any possible intruders. A fence keep humans out of your yard, but it can also keep some animals out (and in) too. A fence can also add value to your property. Fences can be a large investment, but they will stand the test of time (if you use LC Fence). If you have a well maintained fence on your property, home buyers will make note of it, and your homes property value and curb appeal will increase! There are many fence materials to choose from. Now that we have gone over the importance and benefits of fencing, we can explore all of the materials and styles we have to offer for residential properties at Loudon County Fence!

A wood fence is one of the most common forms of fencing, especially in Knoxville, TN. We offer pressure treated pine, as well as western red cedar. However, western red cedar is much more expensive and does not last as long as our pine fences. For our wood fencing, we have three different styles for you to choose from. Wood fencing is classic and timeless and can add a rustic charm to your property.

A privacy fence is exactly what it sounds like. Privacy fences are meant to keep prying eyes away, as well as add security. Many homeowners opt for a privacy fence so they can feel more comfortable being in their yard, away from neighbors and passing cars. A privacy fence can deter potential intruders and can keep children and pets safe in the comfort of the yard. Additionally, a privacy fence can keep wild animals out of your yard, which is beneficial if you live in a more rural or woodsy area!

Like all fences, a picket fence adds security and beauty to the exterior of a home. Picket fences are like privacy fences, but they have space between each post, or picket, there is space to add some transparency to the fence. These fences have been around for decades, and are associated with safety and security, while still having pleasing aesthetics.

Shadow box fences are like picket fences in the sense of opacity, but shadow box fences provide more privacy than the traditional picket fence does. A shadow box fence is a semi-private fence that is more visually appealing than most privacy fences. In a sense, shadow box fences are a combination pf privacy and picket fences.

While some of our fencing options are more expensive, we still have cost-efficient options. Our chain link fence is the most cost-efficient of our fence options, and it is very durable.

Although chain link fencing may not look as aesthetically pleasing as a classic wood or wrought iron fence, it is strong, durable, and provides long lasting security. Chain link fences are very popular because of their practicality. They are affordable, low maintenance, and provide visibility and security.

Another part of our commercial services is called “warehouse fence”.  This is where we install an interior fence, such as cages and storage areas.
