Fence Installation

Privacy, Security, and Style—Built to Last

At Tricounty Tree Care, we believe a fence is more than just a property line—it's the frame for your landscape. Whether you need a safe play area for pets, privacy from neighbors, or a decorative border for your garden, we design and build fences that stand strong against South Carolina’s heat, humidity, and coastal winds.

The "Tree-Safe" Fencing Difference

Why hire a tree company to build your fence? Standard fence contractors often view trees as obstacles. To keep a fence line straight, they will frequently sever large roots to set a post, which can destabilize your trees and lead to slow decline or death.

As arborists and landscape experts, we take a different approach:

Root Protection: We carefully locate critical root zones before digging post holes.
Custom Adjustments: We can customize fence spans or "box out" around trees to save them, rather than cutting them down or damaging them.
Integrated Design: We consider how your trees will grow in the future, ensuring your new fence doesn't become a girdle for your growing Oaks and Maples.

Our Fencing Options

We offer high-quality materials suited for the Lowcountry climate.

1. Wood Privacy & Picket

The classic choice. We use pressure-treated pine or cedar to resist rot and termites.

Privacy: Board-on-board or shadowbox styles that offer seclusion while allowing airflow (crucial for hurricane season).
Picket: Traditional charm that defines boundaries without blocking views.
Custom Tops: Dog-ear, arched, or capped finishes.

2. Vinyl (PVC) Fencing

The low-maintenance solution. Vinyl will never rot, fade, or need painting.

Great for busy homeowners who want a "set it and forget it" solution.
Available in privacy, picket, and ranch-rail styles.

3. Aluminum & Metal

Get the elegant look of wrought iron without the rust or maintenance.

Perfect for pool enclosures (meets safety codes) and properties with a view you don't want to block.
Durable powder-coated finish.

4. Specialty & Utility Fencing

A/C & Trash Enclosures: Hide unsightly utility units with a custom L-shaped privacy screen.
Chain Link: Affordable and durable solutions for pet containment and security.

Built for the Lowcountry Elements

A fence is only as good as its installation. We don't cut corners.

Deep-Set Posts: We set posts deep in concrete to resist leaning and wind load.
Sag-Free Gates: We use heavy-duty hardware and cross-bracing to ensure your gates latch smoothly for years, not just weeks.
Stainless/Galvanized Fasteners: We use nails and screws designed to resist rust, preventing those ugly "weeping" rust streaks on your wood.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need a permit or HOA approval? A: Almost always. While we handle the installation, we can assist you by providing the drawings or specs your HOA needs to approve the project.

Q: Can you take down and haul away my old fence? A: Yes. We are a full-service company. We will demo your old, rotting fence and haul the debris away before we begin.

Q: How do you handle property lines? A: We recommend having a survey done if you are unsure of your exact pins. We will build exactly where you instruct us, but ensuring the line is accurate is crucial to avoiding neighbor disputes!
