Starting 2026 Strong: Why Winter Is the Smart Time to Plan Your Fence Project
The start of a new year has a way of putting things into perspective. We clean up loose ends, make plans for improvements, and finally tackle projects that have been sitting on the back burner. For many homeowners, business owners, and property managers across East Tennessee, fencing is one of those projects.
At Loudon County Fence, we’re officially back in the office and kicking off 2026 by scheduling new fence installations across Knoxville and the surrounding counties. And while most people think of fencing as a spring or summer project, winter is often the smartest time to plan—and even install—a new fence.
Experience Matters More Than Ever
Loudon County Fence has been serving East Tennessee for over 50 years. In that time, we’ve installed fences on everything from suburban backyards and farms to commercial facilities, industrial sites, and government properties. We’ve worked through rocky soil, uneven terrain, tight access points, and unpredictable weather. Experience isn’t just a number—it’s what allows a fence to last.
A fence is more than posts and panels. It’s security, privacy, safety, and curb appeal wrapped into one structure. When installed correctly, it protects your investment for decades. When installed poorly, it becomes a recurring problem.
Why Winter Installation Makes Sense
Winter fencing often surprises people, but it offers real advantages:
- Faster scheduling: Spring fills up quickly. Winter projects usually move faster from estimate to install.
- Better preparation: Installing or planning now means your fence is ready before outdoor season starts.
- Stable ground conditions: East Tennessee winters often provide workable soil conditions without the extreme heat that complicates summer installs.
- Less disruption: Fewer landscaping conflicts and outdoor activities mean smoother installs.
-
Even if you don’t plan to install immediately, winter is the best time to get on the schedule.
Fence Solutions for Every Property Type
We work with property owners across Knoxville, Knox County, Loudon County, Lenoir City, Oak Ridge, Farragut, Maryville, Blount County, and surrounding areas. Our services include:
- Privacy fencing for backyards and residential properties
- Wood fencing built for durability and Southern climate conditions
- Vinyl fencing for low-maintenance, long-term performance
- Chain link fencing for residential and commercial use
- Ornamental aluminum fencing for security with visual appeal
- Farm and equestrian fencing for rural properties
- Commercial and industrial fencing including access control and gates
-
Each project starts with understanding the property, the purpose of the fence, and how it needs to perform long-term—not just how it looks on day one.
Craftsmanship Over Shortcuts
One of the most common issues we see when replacing fences is rushed installation. Posts not set deep enough. Improper spacing. Materials that aren’t suited for the local climate. These shortcuts might save time upfront, but they cost far more in repairs and replacements later.
Our approach is simple: build it right the first time. That means proper post depth, quality materials, and installers who understand East Tennessee soil and conditions.
Planning Ahead Pays Off
If a new fence is part of your 2026 goals—whether it’s for privacy, security, livestock, or property value—now is the time to act. Getting an estimate early gives you time to plan, budget, and choose the right solution without pressure.
Winter installs also mean you’ll be ahead of the curve when spring arrives.
