Initial Property Assessment and Planning
The first step in any fencing project is thoroughly assessing your property to understand your needs and objectives.
We’ll walk the perimeter with you to inspect the terrain, mark sprinkler lines and underground utilities, identify any relevant property lines, and determine the optimal fence placement and layout.
We can show you a variety of wood and vinyl privacy fence styles and help you select the perfect look based on your goals.
Detailed Quote with Fence Design
After the initial consultation, we will provide you with a detailed written quote outlining the project specifications, materials, and pricing.
The quote will include a basic fence map so you can visualize how your new privacy fence will look on your property. We’ll finalize all project details and answer any questions you have before moving forward.
Permitting
For all fencing projects in Athens-Clarke County, proper permits from the city are required prior to installation. We’ll submit the permit application on your behalf and obtain all necessary approvals from the city. This protects you from potential issues down the road.
Materials Delivery and Preparation
Leading up to installation day, we’ll order and receive delivery of all fencing materials, hardware, posts, and accessories needed to complete your privacy fence.
Our crew will also conduct any site preparation needed, such as vegetation removal and minor land grading if necessary. This makes for smooth, efficient installation.

Cost of Privacy Fencing in Athens, GA
So how much does a new privacy fence cost in Athens and surrounding areas? Pricing depends on several key factors:
- Fence Material (wood vs vinyl)
- Fence Height
- Fence Length/Perimeter
- Gate Add-Ons
- Terrain Complexity
- Permit Fees
- Any Additional Site Prep Needed
As a ballpark estimate, most standard 6 ft. tall wood privacy fences in Athens average between $15 – $25 per linear foot installed. So for a fence spanning 100 linear feet, expect to pay $1,500 – $2,500 for the completed job. Vinyl privacy fences are more expensive, averaging $25 – $35 per linear foot installed.
Keep in mind that longer perimeter fences, tall fences, sloped/uneven terrain, complex designs, and multiple gates will increase the overall project cost.

FAQs About Privacy Fencing in Athens, Georgia
What is the best material for a privacy fence – wood or vinyl?
Both wood and vinyl make excellent, long-lasting privacy fence materials. Wood is more affordable upfront, can be stained in different finishes, and is easy to repair if damaged. Vinyl is maintenance-free, won’t rot or decay, and features a consistent look over time. We help homeowners weigh the pros and cons of each.
What is the ideal height for a privacy fence?
6 feet is the most popular privacy fence height, blocking sight lines from neighbors while avoiding an overly imposing feel. We recommend installing the tallest allowed fence per local regulations for maximum seclusion. Some HOAs restrict fence heights.
How long does it take to install a privacy fence?
Our experienced crews can fully install most standard privacy fences over 2-3 days. More complex projects with multiple gates, sloped terrain, etc may take 3-5 days. You’ll know the exact timeframe after we assess your property.
When is the best time to install a new fence?
Spring and fall are ideal seasons for fencing projects in Athens, when ground conditions are stable. We can install in winter but cold, wet, or frozen soil makes digging difficult. Summer heat can also be challenging for our crews.
How far should fence posts be spaced?
For optimal strength, we space fence posts 6-8 feet apart and use heavy-duty posts secured 2-3 ft. deep. Wider post spacing risks sagging and instability over time. Proper post spacing prevents future issues.
Should I choose wood or metal fence posts?
We recommend wood posts for most privacy fences, as they match the fence material and allow secure fastening of panels. Rot-resistant woods like cedar hold up well over time. Metal posts work too but provide less design flexibility.
Will my new fence obstruct drainage or damage my sprinklers?
No, our team is very careful to preserve proper drainage and avoid irrigation lines during installation. We locate utilities ahead of time and take precautions not to disrupt underground systems.
How much space should I leave between the fence and property lines?
We generally recommend building the fence 6 inches inside your property boundary lines to avoid any disputes with neighbors. Be sure to have lines clearly marked before installation.
Should I choose pickets, boards, or lattice privacy fence panels?
This is an aesthetic choice! Boards offer a clean, modern look. Close-spaced pickets maximize privacy. Lattice gives a semi-private feel. We help you select the right privacy fence style for your needs.
What kind of warranty do you provide on fence installations?
We stand behind our workmanship with a 1-year installation warranty from date of completion. This covers any defects in materials or construction. We aim to create fence solutions that last for decades to come.
