Fence Installation & Irrigation in Franklin, TN

Franklin is limestone country. On a lot of these lots a post hole hits rock well before it reaches the depth a six foot privacy fence wants, and pretending otherwise is how you end up with a fence that leans the first time a storm comes through. We plan for rock, bring the equipment for it, and price it honestly rather than discovering it on install day.

Grade is the second Franklin factor. Rolling rear yards in Westhaven, Ladd Park and the areas out toward Leiper's Fork mean a fence has to rack or step, and choosing between the two changes how the finished line reads from the patio.

Franklin homeowners tend to care as much about how the fence looks from the street as about what it encloses. That pushes a lot of these projects toward black aluminum, board on board with a cap and trim, and gates that match the run rather than interrupt it.

Historic district properties near downtown carry their own expectations, and the surrounding neighborhoods generally hold to a higher finish standard than a builder grade fence delivers.

The City of Franklin regulates residential fence height, placement relative to property lines and corner lot visibility, and the process differs for properties inside the historic overlay.

Nearly every planned community in Franklin has an architectural review committee with an approved material list. Westhaven and similar neighborhoods are specific about style and color. We build to whatever your committee approves and lay the line to your pins, not to the mowed edge.

Franklin leans toward finish. Black aluminum picket is the default for open rear yards and pool enclosures, and board on board with a cap and trim board is the wood choice when a homeowner wants privacy without a fence that reads as builder grade from the patio.

Gates get more attention in Franklin than almost anywhere else we work. A double swing gate wide enough for a mower and a side yard entry gate that lines up with the walkway are worth planning at the layout stage, because moving a gate after posts are set means resetting posts.

Irrigation work here is often tied to established landscaping. Drip in the beds and rotors on the lawn is a more efficient split than running everything on spray heads, and on rolling Franklin lots pressure and head selection matter more than zone count.
