Sherwood Forest Fences
Shade-smart fences for the wooded ranch-home lots of Sherwood Forest.
Sherwood Forest's mature trees give great shade but keep fences damp, so mildew, moss and limb strikes are the main enemies. Designs with airflow, ground clearance and quality stain, or materials like aluminum and vinyl that wash clean, last longest here. We also do a lot of storm repairs after summer thunderstorms.
The area
East Charlotte off Randolph and Sharon Amity Roads, Sherwood Forest developed in the 1950s and 1960s with ranch homes on wooded lots.

Shade-smart design
- Airflow: semi-privacy and shadowbox dry faster than solid fences
- Clearance: pickets held off the ground
- Materials: aluminum, vinyl or cedar with a mildewcide stain
- Tree trimming: keep dead limbs off the fence line
Storm repairs
Wooded lots mean more limb strikes during summer storms. We repair sections quickly and can recommend designs that are easier to fix.
Replacing old fences
Many original fences in the area are aging. We remove old fences, including concrete footings, and install new posts below frost depth.
Questions Charlotte homeowners ask
Why does my fence turn green?
Shade and humidity grow mildew and algae. Cleaning, airflow and trimming lower limbs help.
Should I take down trees near my fence?
Only dead or hazardous ones, judged by an arborist. Healthy trees are worth working around.
