About High Country Fence

A local fence crew that treats the layout as the job.

Fencing done straight

Fencing done straight

High Country Fence is a New Lenox fence crew that treats the layout as the job. Posts are set on a line that matches the survey, depth is set for the soil we actually hit, and gates are hung so they still swing true after a wet season.

Wind, driving rain, and long humid stretches are hard on a fence here. That is why we talk material before we talk price: the cheapest panel is not a bargain if the posts move the first time the weather turns.

  • The Line Comes FirstWe walk the property line with you before anything is ordered, so the fence lands where it belongs and not a foot into a neighbor's grass.
  • Written Before It Is DugYou get the material, the height, the gate count, and the price in writing. The number you approve is the number on the invoice.
  • Built for Wind and WetPost depth, concrete, and hardware are chosen for driving rain and humid soil rather than for a catalog default, because that is what decides whether a run stays straight.

Our Mission

We exist to put up fence that still reads straight long after the crew has gone. That means the layout gets the attention, the posts get the depth, and the gates get the hardware they actually need.

It also means telling a property owner when a repair will do, when a cheaper material is the smarter buy, and when a run should wait until the line is settled.

What We Stand For

Straight Lines

A fence is judged from the street, and the street sees the line. We string it, check it, and reset a post rather than let a run wander.

Honest Reads

When a repair will hold we say so, and when a material is wrong for the exposure we say that too. A short quote today beats a callback next season.

Clean Departures

Spoil is hauled off, offcuts are picked up, and the gate is swung and latched with you standing there before the trailer leaves the drive.

Kept Schedules

You get the start day and the finish day when you approve the work, and a call from us if weather moves either one. A crew that shows up when it said it would is half the job.
