Vinyl Fence Installation in Simpsonville, SC

We quote more vinyl fence installation in Simpsonville, SC than in any other town we work, and the reason has very little to do with us. It is written into your covenant. Simpsonville grew as platted subdivisions rather than scattered building, going from 18,238 people in 2010 to 23,354 in 2020, with Five Forks next door climbing from 8,064 in 2000 to 17,737. Neighborhoods built that way come with architectural committees, and those committees approve vinyl readily.

The housing suits it too. A white vinyl fence looks wrong behind a mill cottage and looks right behind a house built in 2006, and most of Simpsonville is the second kind. We measure on your property, free, with no deposit, and we hold your install date until your approval is actually in hand.

Why the architectural committee says yes to vinyl

In neighborhoods like Neely Farm, which runs to more than 700 homes at Harrison Bridge and Neely Ferry Roads, or Holly Tree Plantation with its oversized lots and mature hardwoods, or the newer developments off Fairview and Scuffletown, the covenant does the choosing. Most of them name a short list of acceptable materials, cap height at six feet, require the fence to start behind the rear corner of the house and require written approval before anything is installed. Vinyl clears all four without an argument, which is more than chain link or unfinished wood can say here.

The catch is sequencing. Vinyl is manufactured in a set color and cut for your run, so it cannot be ordered on the chance a submission goes through. Boards often meet once a month. If we measure in the first week, you can have the length, height, color and material specification in front of them at that meeting instead of waiting four more weeks, and that single decision usually saves more time than anything that happens on site.

A graded subdivision lot is the best ground vinyl gets

Vinyl wants exactly what a Simpsonville back yard already is. The pad was cut flat, the corners are square, the pins are usually still findable and there is no century old root system anywhere near the post line. That matters because vinyl panels come in fixed lengths and the posts have to land on those marks. On an old lot we spend the day working around obstacles. Here the string goes up and the holes go where the tape says.

It shows in the price. A run that divides cleanly into full panels with one walk gate is the cheapest vinyl job there is, and a flat open yard with driveway access means a machine does the digging instead of two people with shovels.

Where it stops being simple is corners, a drive gate, or a run that lands three feet short of a full panel and has to be cut custom. We work that out on the measure and show you where a few feet of adjustment saves a section.

The swale, and the one place a solid vinyl panel is wrong

Nearly every Simpsonville back yard has a graded low line running through it that carries stormwater off two or three neighboring lots, often inside a recorded drainage easement. A wood privacy fence at least leaks through the board gaps. A vinyl privacy panel is a continuous sealed surface with a solid bottom rail, which makes it the most effective dam you can build across a swale by accident.

We find that low line before the run is set. The usual answer is to raise the panel at the crossing so a measured gap sits under the bottom rail, sized to pass water and not a dog, or to step the fence over it. Both change how the run looks at that point, so we show you which one we intend to do while we are standing on the spot, not after the posts are in.

What a vinyl fencing job in Simpsonville includes

A Simpsonville vinyl job runs through a committee before it runs through a post hole digger, and the quote covers both.

• On-site measure laid out to full panel lengths, with the short section placed where it shows least
• A written material specification, height and site plan formatted for your architectural submission
• The drainage swale located and a crossing detail agreed before the line is set
• Utility locate request placed, with irrigation heads and low voltage lighting flagged
• Heavy wall posts and rails routed through the posts rather than surface mounted
• Post holes dug wide, concreted full depth and crowned above grade
• Gate posts upsized and set deeper, with aluminum stiffeners in the gate frame
• Install held until your written approval is in hand, then scheduled around the material lead time
