Oakhurst Fences
Modern and classic fences for Oakhurst's mid-century homes and new infill near Monroe Road.
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.
The area
Oakhurst sits southeast of Uptown around Monroe Road and Commonwealth Avenue, with ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s and a lot of new construction.

Fence considerations
- Infill: taller new homes next to original ranches

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.
