Oakhurst Fences

Modern and classic fences for Oakhurst's mid-century homes and new infill near Monroe Road.

Oakhurst Fences in Charlotte, NC
Short answer

Oakhurst mixes mid-century ranch homes with a steady flow of new infill houses. That combination drives demand for horizontal and mixed-width fences, taller rear privacy and patio screens, along with dog-friendly yards. Corner lots and sidewalks bring the usual Charlotte sight triangle and CDOT certificate checks.

Fence considerations

  • Infill: taller new homes next to original ranches
  • Narrow side yards: gates around HVAC and meters
  • Corner lots: sight triangles and CDOT certificates
  • Trees: mature hardwoods on older lots

Horizontal and mixed-width fences on modern homes, board-on-board privacy on side lines and black aluminum fronts.

Replacing old fences

Many original chain link and wood fences are being replaced. We remove old materials and footings and install new posts below frost depth.

Questions Charlotte homeowners ask

Do new infill houses come with fences?

Usually not. Many buyers add a fence within the first year.

How do I get privacy from a taller new house next door?

A 6-foot fence, an 8-foot section in the established rear yard with a permit, and patio screens or trees together work best.
