About Anderson Fence Company

How we started

Anderson Fence Company opened in 2018 with one truck, a post hole digger and a straightforward idea: quote it honestly, build it once, and answer the phone when somebody calls. Eight years later the truck count has gone up and the idea has not changed.

We have put more than 55 fences in the ground across the Upstate in that time. Wood privacy fences behind subdivision homes in Powdersville. Chain link dog runs in Homeland Park. Aluminum pool enclosures in Simpsonville. Field fence out past Starr. Repairs on fences other companies built and walked away from.

That mix matters. A crew that only builds one kind of fence will sell you that fence no matter what your yard needs. We would rather tell you a cheaper material is the right call and keep you as the person who recommends us to a neighbor.

How a job actually runs

There is no mystery to it, and knowing the sequence makes it easier to compare us against anyone else you are quoting.

1. You call, we come out

We answer 7am to 7pm, seven days a week. In most cases we can be at your property within a couple of days. We walk the line with you, take measurements, look at slope, access, tree roots, utility runs and where the pins are. That visit is free and there is no deposit.

2. You get a real number

The quote covers materials, labor, gate hardware, removal and haul away of an old fence if there is one, and any extra work the ground is going to demand. We would rather quote the difficult part up front than discover it mid job and ask you for more.

3. We build it

Most residential yards are a one to three day job. We call before utility locates, set posts in concrete, and come back to hang gates once the concrete has cured rather than hanging them the same afternoon and watching them sag.

55+ fences builtAcross Anderson County and Greenville County since 2018, residential and commercial.

Why local knowledge changes the fence

Anderson County sits on Cecil series red clay, part of a soil group mapped across more than 10 million acres of the Carolina Piedmont. It is dense, kaolinite heavy and slow to drain. A post hole dug in it holds water like a bucket unless it is dug wide enough and backfilled to shed water rather than collect it.

Add 48 inches of rain a year, ten more than the national average, plus one of the heaviest termite pressure zones in the country, and you have a set of conditions that punishes shortcuts. The fences that fail here fail at the post, at ground level, usually within four or five years.

Then there are the local rules. City of Anderson development standards protect visibility at driveways and intersections, so nothing solid can sit between 42 inches and 10 feet above roadway grade inside a sight triangle. Neighborhood architectural committees add height, material and orientation rules on top. We check both before we dig.

Where we work

We are a service area business, which means we come to you rather than running a showroom you have to drive to. Our normal working radius covers every town and community in Anderson County and Greenville County, plus Easley and Clemson just over the Pickens County line.

There is no trip charge anywhere in that area, and no minimum job size for us to come and look.
