Fences in Charlotte, NC

Wood privacy fences and gates, set plumb on solid posts and built to stay that way — Charlotte, Mecklenburg County.

A wood privacy fence is one of the first projects a lot of Charlotte families take on once they're settled — kids, a dog, or just wanting the backyard to feel like its own space instead of open to the neighbors on both sides. Around Steele Creek, University City and the newer parts of Ballantyne, that usually means a straightforward run of posts and privacy boards plus a gate that actually latches. Gates get built to actually hold up to daily use, not just look good on install day.

Red-clay soil changes how that fence gets built more than people expect — it holds water and shifts with the seasons in ways sandy soil doesn't, and a post set without accounting for that is the reason fences lean within a couple of years instead of staying plumb.

Charlotte's red clay is why fence posts lean if they're not set right the first time — it moves with wet and dry seasons more than people expect, and the post work here is built around that.

Questions about fences in Charlotte

How do you keep fence posts from leaning in Charlotte's clay soil?
It comes down to how deep and how the post is set — we build for what red clay actually does across wet and dry seasons, not a generic post depth.
Can you build a fence with a gate wide enough for a mower or a trailer?
Yes — tell us what needs to get through and the gate gets sized and hung for it, not added as an afterthought.
