What Myers Park does to a fence

The houses along Queens Road and the streets off it were built from the 1920s to the 1950s, and the trees were planted at the same time. A century later the willow oaks are the biggest thing on the block. They drop limbs in every summer storm, lift the bottom rail with their roots, and keep the ground under them shaded and damp for most of the year.

The fence at the street is often a low wood picket, painted white, in a style the neighbors share. The fence in back is a 6 foot privacy fence that hides a pool or a patio. Both have been repaired before. When we look at your photos we look for the post that is leaning, the pickets that have gone soft at the bottom, and the gate that has dropped on its hinge post.

Older lots here are bigger than the new infill ones, so the runs are longer and a repair is more often a few posts along a line than one corner. We count the bad posts in your photos and tell you whether it is a repair or a rebuild. Our rule of thumb is in the repair or replace guide.

Matching an old profile

A picket from 1950 is not the same width as one from the store today. Send a close-up of a picket and the rail, and we cut the replacements to the same shape and spacing so the repair disappears once it is painted.

Roots and posts

We will not cut a main root to set a post. Where a root is in the way we move the post a little and span it, so the tree keeps standing and the fence stays straight.

Permits, setbacks and historic review in Myers Park

Myers Park is inside the City of Charlotte. The city handles zoning, which sets fence height and how close a fence can sit to the street, and Mecklenburg County handles building permits and inspections. On top of that, parts of Myers Park are in a local historic district. Inside it, a change you can see from the street, including a new front fence or a change of style, needs review by the city's historic district staff before the work starts. A like-for-like repair is treated differently, but they have the final word, so check your address first.

Most single-family streets here have no HOA. If your home is in one of the few condo or townhome groups, check with your HOA before a new fence or a visible repair, and send them our written quote. Our HOA fence guide covers what the forms ask for.

Before we dig for a new fence we call 811, so the utilities are marked for free. These lots have had a century of gas, water and irrigation lines put in, so we wait for the marks before the first hole.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my house in the Myers Park historic district, and does that matter for a fence?
Parts of Myers Park are in a local historic district, and in those blocks a change you can see from the street, like a new front fence, needs review before it goes up. A repair that matches what is there is usually a different matter, but the Charlotte historic district staff have the final word. Check your address with the city before you plan a new fence at the street.
Can you repair an old wood picket fence instead of replacing it?
Often yes, and on these streets that is the right answer. A picket fence from decades ago is usually sound in the rails and most of the pickets; the posts are what rot. We replace the bad posts, remake the missing pickets to the same profile and spacing, and leave the rest. The new pickets take paint the same as the old.
A willow oak limb came down on the back fence. Is it one section or the whole run?
From your photos, usually one or two sections. A limb breaks the rails and the boards under it; the posts on either side mostly hold. If a post snapped, that is one more item on the same visit. Keep away from any power line on the fence and call the utility before anyone touches it.
Our lot is bigger than most. How do you quote a long privacy run?
The same way as a short one. Measure each straight run corner to corner in feet, note the height, count the gates, and send a wide photo of each run. We quote a new fence from the photos and the layout and confirm the exact sizes on site after you say yes.
