Chain Link Fence Installation in Taylors, SC

Chain link fence installation in Taylors is rarely a blank yard. This is a census designated place of 23,222 people with no city government, and its two halves both come with something already on the ground. In the old Southern Bleachery village the lots are small, the runs are short and there is usually a fence on at least one boundary already. In Pebble Creek the ground is the complication rather than the neighbor.

Both change the job in ways a phone quote cannot catch. Matching an existing fence means matching height, mesh and gauge rather than just buying four foot fabric. Following a falling grade means deciding between stepping the run and raking it before a single post goes in. We look at that on your property, free of charge, seven days a week, and we have been building across the Upstate since 2018.

Matching chain link that is already standing

Mill village lots are narrow and shallow, so a back yard here might take eighty feet of fence and two of its three sides may already be fenced by the people next door. Tying new fabric to old is normal work, and it goes wrong when only the height is matched.

• Fabric height, because a two inch difference shows badly where two runs meet at a corner
• Mesh size, since older fabric is often woven to a different diamond than stock fabric today
• Wire gauge, which changes how the two runs look side by side more than people expect
• Top rail or top tension wire, since the old run may have neither
• Finish, because new galvanized is bright next to fabric that has weathered gray for decades

We also settle whose posts carry the tension. New fabric should be stretched against your own terminal post, not pulled against a neighbor's forty year old one, no matter how solid it looks. That is a few dollars of pipe and it keeps a boundary conversation from turning into a repair bill.

Partial rebuilds are just as common. Where one side of a village lot has failed and the rest has not, we replace the run that is gone and leave the rest alone.

Stepped or raked on a Pebble Creek slope

Pebble Creek wraps more than 430 homes around woodland, ponds and creeks on ground that climbs toward Paris Mountain, and very little of it is flat. Chain link handles that better than any panel fence, because fabric can be raked, meaning the whole run tilts with the grade and the fabric follows the ground along its entire length.

The alternative is stepping, where each section stays level and drops at the post. Stepping looks more formal and it leaves a triangular gap under the fabric at the low side of every step, which is the gap a dog finds first. On a steady slope we rake. On a sharp change of grade, or where the fence has to line up with something built, we step and close the triangles.

Low ground is the other consideration here. Creeks and ponds run through these neighborhoods and the ground near them stays wet, so a post in that soil spends its life standing in water. Those footings get dug wider and crowned so runoff sheds away from the pipe instead of collecting against it.

No Taylors zoning office, so county rules apply

Taylors has no council and no fence ordinance of its own, so property here falls under unincorporated Greenville County rather than a city code. In practice that makes chain link straightforward on most Taylors lots, including in the front yard, where the city of Greenville a few miles away would cap the height.

Covenants are the exception and they are subdivision specific. Pebble Creek and the other planned neighborhoods have their own rules on material and placement, while the mill village streets generally have none at all.

What a chain link fencing job in Taylors includes

A Taylors chain link quote accounts for what is already on your boundary and what the ground does under it.

• A walk of the line, including any existing fence we have to meet
• Height, mesh, gauge and finish matched to neighboring runs where they tie in
• Utility locate request before the first hole is dug
• Your own terminal posts set for tension rather than pulling against a neighbor's
• Raked or stepped layout decided on the slope before posts go in
• Wider, crowned footings on low wet ground near creeks and ponds
• Gates hung to swing clear through their full arc on falling ground
• Old fence removal and haul away where a run is being replaced
