Fence Company Serving Brownsburg, Indiana
First Fences and Second Fences
Brownsburg is a town in Hendricks County with a 2020 Census population of 28,973, and it grew by more than a third between 2010 and 2020. About three in four homes are owner-occupied.
Because Brownsburg grew so fast, most fence work here is one of two things: a first fence on a newer lot, or replacing the builder-grade fence that went in fifteen or twenty years ago. The first job is about picking the right material for a yard that has never had one, and the second is about reading the old fence for whether it is done or just needs a repair. Above the Rest Fence builds fences for homes and businesses in Brownsburg, and free estimates mean we look at the old fence and the lot first.
Replacing an Old Fence
The signs a fence is done are plain: rot at the ground line where the post meets the dirt, posts that lean, and gates that will not latch. When those show up across the run and not just in one spot, the fence is near the end. See fence repair for whether a fix is enough, and ask about removal and haul-away of the old fence when it is not.
Choosing the Replacement
People who had a wood fence often move to vinyl or composite the second time, because both cut the staining and sealing that wood needs every few years. Some homeowners stay with wood for the look and accept the upkeep. The right pick depends on what the yard has to do and how much maintenance you want to take on.
