Where each fence lands on price
Cost per foot, installed
- Lowest Chain linkThe lowest cost per foot we install, and the fastest to put up.
- Middle Wood privacyThe most common fence around here. Pine costs less than cedar.
- Highest Vinyl, aluminum and steelMore up front, then almost no upkeep for years.
Your exact number depends on your yard. That's what the call is for.
Why we don't post prices online
Any number we put here would be wrong for your yard. A 120 ft wood fence on flat ground and a 120 ft wood fence on a slope full of roots can be hundreds of dollars apart. Sites that post a "$X per foot" price usually add to it later. We'd rather give you a real number for your line. One call does that.
Fixing, not replacing?
Repairs often cost a fraction of a replacement. Tell us what's broken and we'll tell you which one makes sense.
Privacy fence installation in Taylors splits along the same line the town itself does. Small Southern Bleachery mill village lots with a fence already on the ground sit about three miles from Pebble Creek, a golf community of more than 430 homes spread over roughly 500 acres of woodland, ponds and creeks with the ground climbing toward Paris Mountain.
Taylors is a census designated place of 23,222 people with no city government at all, so there is no local fence ordinance and unincorporated Greenville County rules apply. We quote free, on site, no deposit, seven days a week from 7am to 7pm, with 55 plus fences behind us since 2018.
Stepped or racked on a Pebble Creek slope
On sloping ground a fence can do one of two things. It can step, holding each panel level and dropping between posts like a staircase, or it can rack, following the grade so the boards stay parallel with the ground. On a picket fence that is a matter of taste. On a privacy fence it decides whether you actually get privacy.
Stepping leaves a triangular gap under every panel, widest at the downhill post. On a gentle grade that is a few inches. On a real Pebble Creek slope it can be a foot or more, which a dog walks straight through and which a neighbor can see under from a seated deck. Racking keeps the bottom tight to the ground but the top line follows the terrain instead of running level.
- Stepped: level panels, a crisp top line, gaps under the low end of every run
- Racked: tight to the ground the whole way, top line follows the slope
- Stepped with a fill board or a retaining course below: closes the triangles at extra cost
- Vinyl and steel panel rack only within the limits the panel allows, so steep ground often points back to wood
Ponds, creeks and where the water goes
Pebble Creek carries woodland, ponds and creeks across its 500 acres, and ground that falls toward water is ground that moves water. A solid six foot fence run straight down a slope catches everything coming off the yard above it, and if the bottom is sealed tight that water piles against the boards and works at the soil around the low posts.
So the bottom of the fence gets planned rather than assumed. Where a run crosses a natural drainage path we leave a deliberate gap sized to let water and leaf litter through, and the posts nearest the low ground get wide holes and concrete crowned to shed water rather than hold it. Cecil clay drains slowly at the best of times, and around 48 inches of rain a year gives it plenty to do.
Ground contact rated posts matter more at the bottom of a lot than at the top, and South Carolina sits in one of the heaviest termite pressure zones mapped in the residential code.
Mill village runs and the fence already standing
Around the old Southern Bleachery, which ran from 1924 until 1965 and is on the National Register, the lots are small and there is very often a fence on at least one boundary already. That turns a privacy job into a matching job. The new run has to meet whatever is there at a sensible height and not leave an awkward step where the two meet.
Short runs also make the pattern decision cheap. Going from butted boards to board on board across eighty or a hundred feet is a small number in real money, and it is the difference between a screen that holds and one that opens up as the pine dries out over its first year.
No city hall and no fence ordinanceApplies in Taylors, so unincorporated Greenville County rules are the only ones that govern your fence.

Why choose us
Why Taylors calls us for privacy fencing
We price the slope both ways
Stepped and racked are not interchangeable on a privacy fence, and most quotes never mention which one you are buying. We walk the grade, show you where the triangles would sit under a stepped run and what a racked top line looks like from your deck, then price both. On a Pebble Creek lot that single decision affects the privacy more than the material does.
No city hall means we check the county
Taylors has no council, no zoning office and no fence ordinance of its own, so unincorporated Greenville County rules are the whole rulebook for 23,222 people. That trips up homeowners who go looking for a Taylors permit that does not exist. We confirm the county requirements for your address at the quote, along with any Pebble Creek association rules, before anything is ordered.
Free quotes on your property, any day
We take calls from 6am to 9pm every day of the week, weekends included, and the quote is free on your property with no deposit and no obligation. Eight years in business across Greenville and Anderson counties, and 55 plus fences.

Questions we get asked
Privacy Fence Installation questions from Taylors homeowners
How do you build a privacy fence on a sloped Taylors lot?
Either stepped or racked, and on a privacy fence the choice matters. Stepped panels stay level and drop between posts, which looks sharp along the top but opens a triangular gap under the low end of every section. Racked panels follow the grade so the bottom stays tight to the ground and the top line runs with the slope.
We walk the grade with you and show you what each one leaves behind. If you have a dog, or the neighbor is uphill looking down, racking usually wins. If the top line is what you care about and the slope is gentle, stepping is fine, and the triangles can be closed with a fill board or a low retaining course at extra cost.
Do I need a permit for a privacy fence in Taylors?
There is no Taylors permit because there is no Taylors government. It is a census designated place with no council and no zoning office, so unincorporated Greenville County rules are what apply to your fence.
South Carolina has no statewide fence permit and no state height limit either, which means the county rules and your neighborhood association are the entire picture. In Pebble Creek the association is likely to have more to say about material and height than the county does. We check both at the quote so nothing gets ordered against a rule.
Can you match the privacy fence my neighbor already has?
Usually, and on the mill village streets it is most of what we do. We look at the height, the board pattern, the rail spacing and the post size on what is already standing, then build to meet it cleanly rather than leaving a step where the two runs join.
Wood is straightforward because fresh boards weather into the existing color within a season or two. Vinyl is harder, since profiles and shades of white vary between manufacturers and a discontinued panel cannot be matched at all. We tell you honestly at the quote whether we can match it or only get close.
