Split-Rail Fence Installation in Roanoke, VA

Split-rail fencing is the look most people picture on rural Virginia land — sturdy cedar posts and rails that mark a boundary, line a driveway, or frame a pasture without walling off the scenery. It’s a favorite out in Botetourt, Bedford, and Franklin counties and around the Smith Mountain Lake area, where acreage, mountain views, and an easygoing country feel are the whole point. Worth knowing up front: this is an open-sightline fence, not a privacy fence — you’ll still see straight through it, which is exactly what most landowners want.

We build it a few ways to match the job. Two-rail is the simple, economical pick for property lines and driveway edges; three-rail adds height and structure for horses, larger livestock, and a more finished look along the road. For folks who want that crisp, painted estate appearance, we install Kentucky board (post-and-board) fencing — including a real four-board Kentucky project we’ve completed. And when you need the rustic look but also have to keep dogs or smaller animals in, we can run welded-wire or woven mesh along the back of the rails so the fence contains without losing its character.
