Fencing Built for Memphis Soil, Memphis Weather, and Memphis Neighborhoods
A fence in Memphis faces conditions that fences in most other cities never do. From the clay that never stops moving to the humidity that never lets up, we design every fence to outlast the Mid-South — not just look good the day it goes in.
Expansive Clay Soil
Memphis sits on Yazoo clay — one of the most expansive soil types in the country. It absorbs water and swells during wet months, then shrinks and cracks during dry spells, heaving fence posts out of alignment season after season. We dig post holes 30 inches deep with oversized concrete footings below the frost line so your fence stays plumb and square through every wet-dry cycle the Mid-South delivers.
Humidity, Rain & Termites
Fifty-three inches of average annual rainfall plus tropical humidity from the Gulf create perfect conditions for wood rot, fungal decay, and the most aggressive Formosan termite colonies north of New Orleans. Untreated pine posts set directly in the ground last three to five years before they snap at the soil line. We use pressure-treated .60 CCA-rated posts or natural cedar heartwood for every in-ground component, with stainless-steel fasteners throughout — no zinc-plated hardware that rusts in two seasons.
Historic Districts, Permits & HOAs
Memphis neighborhoods like Central Gardens, Cooper-Young, and Evergreen are bound by historic overlay rules that dictate fence material, height, and setback from the street — down to the direction the pickets face. Shelby County also enforces corner-lot sight-triangle clearances and pool-enclosure codes that a general handyman will not know to check. We pull every permit, verify every setback, and coordinate with your HOA architectural committee so your fence passes inspection the first time.
Complete Fencing in Memphis — Every Style, Every Material
From full backyard privacy enclosures to custom driveway gates, every fence we build comes with the same lifetime workmanship warranty.
Privacy Fence
Full-height wood or vinyl privacy fencing — the most popular choice for Memphis backyards. Board-on-board, shadowbox, or solid panel designs built to block sightlines and wind while standing up to clay-soil movement.
Learn MoreWood / Cedar Fence
Western red cedar and pressure-treated pine fences with stainless-steel hardware. Natural resistance to rot and insects makes cedar the go-to for Memphis historic districts where composite materials are restricted.
Learn MoreVinyl Fence
Low-maintenance vinyl fencing that never needs painting or staining. Impervious to termites, won't rot in Memphis humidity, and available in privacy, semi-privacy, and picket styles with a lifetime material warranty.
Learn MoreChain Link
Galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link for security, pet containment, and commercial applications. Available in multiple gauges with options for top rail, barbed wire, and privacy slats — installed with deep-set concrete footings for clay soil.
Learn MoreAluminum / Ornamental
Powder-coated aluminum ornamental fencing that delivers wrought-iron curb appeal without the rust. Ideal for front-yard enclosures, pool fencing, and driveway gates in East Memphis and Germantown — lightweight, strong, and zero maintenance.
Learn MoreGates
Custom driveway gates, pedestrian gates, and double-entry gates in wood, aluminum, or steel. Heavy-duty hinges, self-closing hardware, and automatic opener integration — every gate is built square and stays square.
Learn MoreHear From a Memphis Homeowner
"Three fence companies told me the same thing — 'we'll set the posts in concrete and you'll be good.' Then North Slope came out and actually explained why my old fence posts were leaning after four years: the clay soil was heaving them. They went deeper than code requires, used bigger footings, and the difference is night and day. My new cedar privacy fence has been dead straight through two wet winters and a dry summer now. These guys know Memphis soil better than any contractor I have hired."

What We Look For on a Memphis Fencing Job
Every North Slope Exteriors fencing project in Memphis starts with a thorough site walk. These are the specific items we check before the first post hole is dug.
Memphis Fencing Questions, Answered
Fencing costs in Memphis typically range from $18 to $40 per linear foot depending on material, height, and terrain. A standard 150-foot backyard privacy fence runs roughly $4,500 to $8,500 installed. Vinyl and ornamental aluminum sit at the higher end, chain link at the lower end. Every project starts with a free on-site estimate where we measure your property and give you exact pricing — no surprises, no bait-and-switch.
Most residential fencing projects in Memphis are completed in 2 to 5 business days from the day we start digging. Larger acreage jobs or custom ornamental gates with automation may take longer depending on fabrication lead times. We schedule around weather so crews are not working in heavy rain, and we always call Tennessee 811 for utility locates at least 72 hours before we break ground.
Yes. Straight-line wind events, falling limbs, and the occasional tornado take a heavy toll on Memphis fences. We document storm damage with photos, provide repair-or-replace estimates, and work directly with your insurance adjuster to make sure every covered line item is reflected in the settlement. Most storm-damaged fences we see are fully covered under the other-structures portion of a standard homeowners policy.
Yes, we offer flexible financing options with competitive rates for qualified Memphis homeowners, including 0% interest plans for qualified borrowers. Financing can cover the full project cost. We walk through the options during your free on-site estimate so you know exactly what the monthly payment looks like before you commit — no hard credit pull until you decide to move forward.
