Why Ocala homeowners call us
What we install
From a 40-foot dog run in Silver Springs Shores to four-board perimeter on a hundred acres north of town. Pick the material, or tell us the problem and we will tell you what fits.
Wood is still the most requested fence in Marion County, and for good reason: it goes up fast, it screens a back yard completely, and it costs less per foot than vinyl or aluminum.
See wood & privacy fence →Vinyl costs more up front than wood and then stops costing you anything.
See vinyl / pvc fence →Chain link is the cheapest way to put a secure, permanent boundary around a property, and black vinyl-coated mesh has quietly made it look far better than it used to.
See chain link fence →Aluminum gives you the look of wrought iron with none of the rust, which in a climate with daily summer rain and irrigation spray is the entire argument.
See aluminum fence →Marion County has more thoroughbred farms than anywhere else in the country, and fencing here is not a decoration, it is livestock containment and injury prevention.
See horse & farm fence →A pool fence in Florida is not a design decision, it is a code requirement, and it is the one fence that gets inspected.
See pool fence →Steel is what you specify when the fence has to look serious and hold up to force.
See wrought iron & steel →The gate is the part of the fence you actually touch every day, and it is the part that fails first when it is built wrong.
See gates & openers →Commercial fence work is a different job to a back yard.
See commercial fencing →Most fence repair calls in Marion County come down to three causes: a storm took a section out, a post rotted or loosened in the sand, or a gate has been dragging for a year and finally gave up.
See fence repair →Why the details matter here
Marion County sits on sandy loam over a limestone shelf. Some yards hit rock at 18 inches, some run loose sand six feet down. Add 50 inches of rain a year, daily irrigation and UV that bleaches an unsealed board in a single summer, and the shortcuts show up fast.
The three things that decide whether your fence is straight in ten years are post depth, post spacing and fastener choice. All three are invisible the day the job finishes, which is exactly why they are the first things cut on a cheap quote.
Wider spacing is the most common cost-cut in this market and the reason so many Ocala fences sag by year three.
24 to 30 inches deep with the top crowned so water sheds away from the post instead of sitting against it.
Electro-galvanized nails rust and bleed streaks down a brand new fence within one wet season.
A gate is a lever. Without a diagonal brace or steel frame it drops, drags and eventually tears out the hinge post.

Ocala sits on sandy, limestone-shot soil with a rainy season from June through September and a sun that destroys anything left unsealed. That decides how a fence has to be built here, and it is why an installer who only knows one method leaves half the yards in this county leaning by year three.
Marion County sits on a limestone shelf with sandy loam over the top. Some yards hit rock at 18 inches, others run loose sand six feet down. We set footing depth and diameter lot by lot, and on loose sand we widen the footing rather than just going deeper.
Inside city limits fences go through City of Ocala Growth Management, with different height limits front, side and rear, plus sight-triangle rules on corner lots. Unincorporated Marion County is a separate process. We pull it either way.
Read the permit guide →A large share of Ocala housing sits inside an HOA with an architectural review committee. Most restrict height, material and color, and many require white or tan vinyl or black aluminum on street-facing sides. We supply the drawing and spec the committee will approve first time.
Ocala is the thoroughbred capital of the country, and a real share of our work is farm perimeter, paddock and cross-fencing on acreage north and west of town. Different skill set to a back-yard privacy fence. We do both.

An estimator walks the line, checks grade, soil and drainage, and marks gates where you will actually use them. Anywhere in Ocala and Marion County.
You get post depth, post spacing, material and hardware in writing, so you can compare quotes line by line instead of guessing.
We pull the Marion County or city permit and prepare the drawing and spec your HOA asks for before anything goes in the ground.
Underground lines are marked through Sunshine 811 before digging, so nobody hits a gas or fiber line in the sand.
Posts set 24 to 30 in. deep in concrete at 6 ft on center, rails and pickets hung with corrosion-resistant fasteners, site cleaned up.
We check every gate swing and latch with you, then the fence is covered by a three-year workmanship warranty.

Most Ocala homeowners spend between $16 and $60 per linear foot installed depending on material. Chain link runs $16 to $26, wood privacy $28 to $45, aluminum $35 to $58 and vinyl $38 to $60. Height, gates, terrain and removal of an old fence move the number. We give a written per-foot price after measuring on site.
Yes in most cases. Properties inside Ocala city limits permit through City of Ocala Growth Management, and unincorporated properties go through Marion County. Height limits differ between front, side and rear yards, and corner lots have sight-triangle rules. We handle the permit as part of the job.
A typical residential back yard of 150 to 250 feet is a one to two day installation once material is on site. Permitting in Marion County usually adds one to two weeks before that. Farm perimeter and commercial work is scheduled by phase and we give you the timeline in writing.
Yes, and we do them on site rather than over the phone. Post depth, soil, grade and access all change the price, and none of that can be assessed from a satellite image. The visit and the written quote cost nothing.
Yes. We are a licensed and insured fence contractor working across Marion County and surrounding areas, and we carry general liability and workers compensation. Certificates are available on request for commercial and HOA work.
Vinyl and powder-coated aluminum handle Florida sun, humidity and irrigation best and need almost no maintenance. Pressure-treated wood is the value option and performs well if the posts are set deep, spaced at 6 feet and sealed after it dries. Chain link is the most cost-effective for large perimeters.
Tell us what you are fencing and we will come measure it. No charge, no pressure, and a written quote you can compare.
Most Ocala area fences need a permit. Rules for unincorporated addresses are on the Marion County permitting FAQs, and we handle the paperwork for you.

We come out, measure the run, check the grade and the soil, and hand you a written price. If a repair is the smarter spend, we will say so.
