The greenway effect

McAlpine Creek and its greenway run through this part of south Charlotte. Homes that back onto the greenway love the trees and trail access but want privacy and safe yards for pets. Stream buffers and floodplain mapping can limit what goes in the low areas behind some homes.

Fence choices

  • Black aluminum along greenway-facing lines
  • Black vinyl-coated chain link for budget-friendly dog yards
  • Wood or vinyl privacy along side lines between houses
  • Garden fences to keep deer out of vegetable beds

HOAs

Many neighborhoods along Providence Road have HOAs with fence standards. Bring your guidelines to the estimate.

Trees

Large hardwoods are common. We plan posts around roots and keep fences away from trunks.

Questions Charlotte homeowners ask

Does the greenway own land behind my house?

Possibly. Check Polaris parcel lines and your plat. Never fence onto public land.

What about deer?

Deer are common near greenways in south Charlotte. Garden fences need height.
