Whether you need privacy from neighbors, a safe space for kids and pets, or a decorative boundary that enhances your property — we build fences that handle Asheville's mountain terrain and weather.
From a 400-foot slat fence with a hidden gate to simple backyard privacy fencing, Terra Builders AVL builds it all. And on mountain lots where the ground is rarely level, experience matters.
Fencing Services
Privacy Fences — 6-foot board-on-board, tongue-and-groove, and shadow box designs. We use premium materials that resist WNC's wet climate.
Decorative & Custom Fencing — Horizontal slat fences, mixed-material designs (wood + metal), and custom patterns. Your fence should look as good as the rest of your property.
Gates & Access — Hidden gates, automatic openers, pedestrian gates, and driveway gates. We built a 400-foot slat fence with a completely hidden gate that visitors can't even find.
Commercial Fencing — Security fencing, dumpster enclosures, and property boundary fencing for businesses and HOAs.
Fence Repair — Storm damage, rot, leaning posts — we repair and restore existing fences.
Mountain Fencing Challenges
Uneven terrain — Asheville lots are rarely flat. We step or rack fence panels to follow the grade naturally, keeping consistent height and clean lines.
Rocky soil — Many mountain properties have rock just below the surface. We have the equipment and experience to set posts in rock.
Wind exposure — Ridge-top properties get serious wind. We use deeper posts and stronger connections.
Tree roots — Working around mature trees without damaging root systems requires planning and care.
Materials We Use
- Cedar — Natural rot resistance, beautiful grain, weathers to silver-gray
- Pressure-treated pine — Affordable, durable, takes stain well
- Composite — Zero maintenance, consistent appearance, 25+ year lifespan
- Metal — Aluminum and steel for modern designs and security applications
