Fence Company in Sandy Springs, SC

Anderson Fence Company works as a fence company in Sandy Springs, SC and across the rest of Anderson County, out of a truck rather than a storefront. We have been at it since 2018, we have 55 plus fences behind us, and every quote is done standing in the yard that is getting the fence.

Sandy Springs sits roughly halfway along US 76 between Anderson and Clemson, which puts it inside our normal working radius with no trip charge attached. We run 7am to 7pm seven days a week, so if a weekday measure does not fit your schedule we will come Saturday or Sunday instead.

A thousand people on the Anderson to Clemson road

Sandy Springs counted 1,002 residents when the Census Bureau listed it as a census designated place for the first time in the 2020 count. It takes its name from a literal spring running through sand, and it is the birthplace of Freddie Stowers, the only African American soldier awarded the Medal of Honor for service in the First World War.

For fencing purposes the important part is what it is not. Sandy Springs has no town government, no municipal zoning office and no city fence ordinance. It is unincorporated Anderson County, so county regulation and whatever covenants are recorded against your particular parcel are the whole rulebook. South Carolina sets no statewide permit and no state height cap.

That means nobody is going to stop you from making a mistake at the property line. We would rather spend twenty minutes finding your corner pins during the quote than come back later to move a run of finished fence.

Two kinds of lots here, and two different jobs

Older homes along the US 76 corridor tend to sit on deep, generous parcels that were never cut down into a modern subdivision grid. The fence on one of those is usually about containing a dog or marking a boundary, the runs are long, and the corners have not been surveyed in decades. Cost per foot is what decides the material, which pushes a lot of these jobs toward chain link, split rail with welded wire, or plain woven field fence.

The newer builds scattered between them are a different animal. Lot lines are recent and the pins are usually still findable, the back yard is smaller, and the ground was graded flat with the topsoil scraped away. Those yards get wood privacy or vinyl, and the posts go into subsoil clay that a machine has already compacted.

One question we ask on every rural lot before the auger runs: where is the septic tank and which way does the drain field go. A post hole through a lateral line is an expensive afternoon, and the answer is rarely where people guess.

Red clay, 48 inches of rain and post depth

The ground under Sandy Springs is Cecil series red clay, the soil mapped across more than 10 million acres of the southeastern Piedmont. It is kaolinite heavy, which means it holds its shape and barely swells, but it drains slowly. Dig a narrow hole and you have built a bucket that stays full for days after a storm.

No frost line to beatUpstate frost depth is shallow, so we set post depth for wind load and saturated clay instead, which is a harder standard than frost ever was.
