Request Your Free Estimate (423) 830-4407Watauga is the small community along the Watauga River just west of Elizabethton, with properties strung along the river and back into the rolling Carter County hills. The area takes its name from the river and Watauga Lake upstream, and the water is the defining feature of most of the lots we work on out here.
Fence installation along the Watauga corridor mostly serves residential properties — back-yard privacy fence for the homes along Wilbur Lake Road, decorative aluminum and metal for the lots that border the river itself, and chain-link or wood for pet containment in the side yards. The closer you get to the river bottoms, the more carefully posts need to be set. Wet ground rots untreated wood inside a few seasons, so we run locust or pressure-treated CCA wherever the soil stays damp.
The other significant fence work here is the small horse and hobby farm properties scattered between Watauga and the Carter County backroads. Three-board pasture fence, no-climb horse mesh, and woven wire field fence all see regular installation. We work with the corner-post strategies that actually hold in this terrain — locust where it can be sourced, deep-set treated pine where it can't, and braced H-frames at every corner and gate.
Fencing Services Across Watauga
The fence types Watauga-area property owners ask for most.
Riverfront Aluminum
Powder-coated aluminum that marks the property line without blocking the view of the Watauga River. Racks naturally on the sloped lots and resists rust in the wet shoulders.
Wood Privacy Fence
Pressure-treated and cedar privacy fence for the back yards through the residential pockets along Wilbur Lake Road and surrounding streets. Kickboards standard.
Pasture & Hobby-Farm Fence
Three-board paddock, no-climb horse fence, and woven wire field fence for the small acreage properties scattered through the Watauga corridor and Carter County backroads.
We also install vinyl privacy, chain-link, ornamental metal, fence repair, and commercial fencing throughout the Watauga area.

Why Watauga Property Owners Call Us
The Watauga corridor is one of our closest service areas. We're out this way constantly.
Right Posts for Wet Ground
River bottoms hold moisture year-round and rot ordinary posts. We use locust or treated CCA in the wet stretches so the fence still stands twenty years in.
View-Conscious Materials
If you bought property along the Watauga, you bought the view as much as the lot. We recommend aluminum, ornamental, and low-profile materials that preserve sightlines.
Local and Fast
Ten minutes from our base in Elizabethton. Watauga gets the same response time and same crews as any other town we cover — usually out within the week.
What Our Clients Say
"Six-foot board-on-board privacy run on a sloped backyard off Lynn Avenue. The grade drops nearly four feet across the line and they stepped the panels clean instead of trying to rack it. Two winters in, no leaning posts, no gaps after the freeze-thaw."
