Fence Company in Craytonville, SC

Anyone hiring a fence company in Craytonville, SC is generally fencing acreage rather than a back yard, which is a different job with different failure points. We have put in 55 plus fences across Anderson County since 2018 and carry 4.7 stars from 24 Google reviews, and long rural runs are work we do regularly rather than occasionally.

Craytonville is inside Anderson County, so there is no trip charge and the quote is free, done on site with no deposit and no obligation. We work 7am to 7pm seven days a week, including weekends, which is usually when people with land are actually home.

An old crossroads with a marker and not much else

Craytonville, sometimes just called Crayton, is an unincorporated community in Anderson County that appears on the Honea Path USGS map. Its historical marker stands at the junction of Trail Road, which is South Carolina Highway 20, and Clinkscales Road. The place began as Moffett's Mill post office in 1818, on the old road running between Pendleton and Abbeville that was known as the Generals' Road because Andrew Pickens and Robert Anderson held property along it.

Land here was opened to settlement in 1784 through grants for Revolutionary War service, and through the 1800s Craytonville served as a polling place and a gathering point for county politics. James Lawrence Orr, born here in 1822, went on to be Speaker of the US House and later Governor of South Carolina.

None of that history changes a fence. What matters today is that Craytonville is a rural crossroads rather than a town: no municipal government, no city fence ordinance, farmland and woods, houses set well back from the road. South Carolina sets no statewide fence permit and no state height limit either, so county regulation and your own recorded deed restrictions are all that apply.

Road frontage, right of way and long runs

The first thing we check on a property fronting one of these old roads is where the public right of way ends. On roads laid out generations ago the right of way commonly extends well past the edge of the pavement, so the strip you have been mowing for twenty years is not automatically yours to fence. Setting a line on assumption is how a new fence ends up getting moved.

The second thing is corners. On parcels this size the iron pins may not have been touched since the last survey, and on farmland they are often buried, grown over or gone. We look for them at the quote, we set the fence inside your boundary rather than centered on it, and where the corners cannot be found we will say plainly that a survey costs less than relocating finished fence.

After that it is arithmetic. Cost per foot decides the material on a run measured in hundreds of feet, which pushes most Craytonville jobs toward woven wire, field fence or two rail cedar. The money that matters goes into the corner and brace assemblies, because a stretched wire fence that loses a corner post goes slack across the entire span behind it rather than failing in one spot.

Post depth set for clay, not frostUpstate frost depth is shallow, so on these long Piedmont runs we size depth and hole diameter for wind load and slow draining Cecil clay instead.
