Tell us what you need over the phone, whether it's a privacy fence, a dog run, or a gate that finally latches. A local installer will walk the line with you for an on-site estimate.
If you have a pool or a busy street, tell us. Pool fences have their own local requirements, so check with your city, county, and HOA before you build. A fence is not a substitute for supervision.
East Tennessee clay, mud, and hills make post work harder than it looks, so the installer looks at the soil and the slope during the estimate.
Don't worry! Your installation professional can go over these points with you at the estimate. But here are some things to keep in mind to help you plan ahead.
Inside Maryville city limits, a fence on a single-family or two-family lot outside the historic districts doesn't need a city permit, but it still has to follow the city's fence regulations. A front-yard fence has to sit at least 5 feet back from the street right-of-way, and a fence taller than 6 feet has to meet the setbacks for accessory structures. The property owner is responsible for knowing where the property lines are. Have your survey or plat handy.
If your home is in the College Hill or Oak Park historic district, the Maryville Historic Zoning Commission has to approve a new fence before it goes in. Rules can change, so confirm with the City of Maryville before you build.
Got an HOA or neighborhood covenants? Those can be stricter than the city on height, style, and color. Pull up your rules before you pick a fence, and share them so your local installer will review them at the on-site estimate.
From downtown Maryville out to the rest of Blount County, a local installer is a phone call away. Call (865) 737-4194 (calls answered 24/7) or request an estimate.

Common questions
How much does a fence cost in Maryville?
Call with the length of the line and the material you like, and a local installer will come out for an on-site estimate. On-site estimates from your local installer.
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Maryville or Blount County?
Inside Maryville city limits, single-family and two-family homes outside the historic districts don't need a city fence permit, but the fence still has to follow the city's fence regulations on setbacks and height. Homes in the College Hill or Oak Park historic districts need Historic Zoning Commission approval first. Outside city limits, check with Blount County. Either way, confirm with the city or county before you build.
Should I choose vinyl or wood for my Maryville yard?
Wood gives you a natural look and costs less up front, but it needs staining or sealing over time. Vinyl costs more up front and needs little more than an occasional wash. When the installer comes out, they'll show you both and help you pick.
