Expert Solutions for Fence Construction on Challenging Terrain

No two properties are exactly alike. Okay, maybe two are – or very close. But, across hundreds of millions of properties across the United States, there are many landscape features that make installing a fence more complicated than average. From hillside yards, rocky terrain, dense forests, and misshapen property lines, fence installation is not a one-size-fits-all project. No matter the unique features of your property, you’re determined to build that fence. However, it may be that traditional out-of-the-box fencing solutions won’t get the job done. At Superior Fence & Rail, we offer expert solutions for fence construction on challenging terrain of almost any kind.

Fence Installation on a Hillside or Slope

Hillside properties offer gorgeous views, but they are not exactly fence-friendly. When you choose Superior Fence & Rail, you don’t need to worry. Our expert fence installation teams have a solution for that. The two common fence installation techniques for sloping properties are:

Stepped Fencing: Imagine your fence as steps. Each section remains level, but as the yard slopes, each section is lower than the one before it. Stepped fencing is a great option for maintaining a consistent fence height and minimizing gaps.
Racked Fencing: Racked fencing for sloped yards requires installing panels on an angle to flow with the slope of the yard. The look of a racked fence installation is more harmonious. However, it can result in varying fence heights along your fence line.

Deciding whether racked or stepped fence installation is right for your yard becomes a personal preference based on the steepness of your slope and the look you prefer. At your free fence estimate appointment, our expert team will guide you through the pros and cons of each option relative to your specific property.

Installing a Fence on Rocky Terrain

If your property is rocky and features boulders, ledges, or even extremely hard clay, digging a hole for any reason can deter even the most ambitious homeowner. At Superior Fence & Rail, we have the tools and expertise to get your fence installed, no matter the makeup of your soil. Here’s how we do it:

Specialized Post Digging Equipment: Our fence installation crews use heavy-duty augers and specialized drilling techniques so we can install a fence on any property, no matter what we find underground.
Creative Fence Design Solutions: Depending on your property, there may be opportunities for creative fence design solutions. These could include incorporating rocks and boulders into the fence design or even adjusting the fence line. Every property is unique, and our expert fence team is here to provide the best solution for you.

Can Fences Be Installed in Wooded Areas?

Wooded lots deserve fences, too! Trees, shrubs, and thick undergrowth could deter a less experienced fence installation team. But not Superior Fence & Rail. Our team offers fence solutions for any need, and our crews are not afraid to get their hands dirty. Here’s how we tackle fence installation on wooded lots:

Careful Clearing: Our team may suggest clearing a few trees or shrubs before installation – but only if it is absolutely the best option. Sometimes, to get your fence right where you want it, a little trimming or clearing is necessary.
Strategic Fence Design and Planning: One of the most important reasons a site visit is crucial to creating accurate fence quotes is walking the property. With so many unique and unforeseen property features, our expert team can provide you with options and build them into the plans from the beginning. This means our crews will have everything they need for installation day, with fewer possibilities for surprise changes.

Specialized Fence Installation Solutions

There are many factors on your property that can impact fence installation. We also handle:

Unstable Soil: Clay and hard soil are challenges for digging post holes, but what about soft or unstable soil? At Superior Fence & Rai, we use expert fence installation techniques to create a stable foundation for your fence, even in soft or shifting soil conditions.
Water Features: Drainage and water features can often be near the property line, where you may want a fence. Don’t worry—our team will devise an excellent solution that works around your water or drainage landscape elements.
Access Issues: Are you concerned about our team getting access to your property to install a fence? Don’t worry. We install fences on all types of property. So whether you are far out in a rural area down a two-track lane or your home is packed tightly on a canal with very little space between the neighboring houses, our team will find a way to get your fence installed.
