Why a fence here is its own job
The ground changes across town
North of I-10 you build on the red clay of the Red Hills, which holds posts but holds water too. South toward Woodville and Wakulla the soil turns sandy and wet. Post depth and drainage have to match.
The weather is hard on fences
About five feet of rain a year, humid summers and active termites wear out wood that isn't built and sealed for it. Tropical storms and the May 2024 tornadoes showed what falling limbs do.
HOAs and permits vary
Many neighborhoods, from Killearn to SouthWood, have their own fence rules, and city and county addresses go through different offices. Read the permit and HOA guide first.
Big trees are everywhere
Live oaks and canopy roads are part of what makes Tallahassee beautiful. A good contractor works around large roots rather than through them.

Answers before you get a quote
Questions homeowners ask us
Are you a fence company?
We are a free referral service. Tallahassee Fence Pros connects homeowners with licensed local fence contractors. The contractor who contacts you gives the quote, does the work and stands behind it. We do not install fences ourselves.
How many contractors will call me?
One. We pass your request to a single local contractor who covers your area, not to a list of companies.
What does it cost to use this service?
Nothing. The request and the quote are free, and you are never obligated to hire anyone.
How fast will I hear back?
Usually within one business day. After big storms, contractors get busy and it can take longer.
Which areas do you cover?
Tallahassee and Leon County, plus nearby communities in Wakulla, Gadsden and Jefferson counties and Thomasville, Georgia. See service areas.
Do I need a permit for my fence?
It depends on your address, the fence height and where it goes on your lot, and your HOA may have its own rules. Our permit guide explains how to check.
