Serving Central Virginia and the Triangle
A fence only matters if it keeps out what it's supposed to and keeps in what it's supposed to. Swarthy builds deer fencing and electric fencing with the same care a farmer puts into protecting a season's work. We set posts deep, brace the corners so the line stays tight, and install gates that swing and latch the way they should. Whether you're protecting a vegetable garden from deer, fencing a pasture or adding an electric line for livestock, you get a straight, solid fence and honest advice about what will work for your property.
Deer Fencing – Tall, tight fencing that keeps deer out of gardens, orchards and crops.
Electric Fencing – Electric lines installed for livestock, pasture and garden protection.
Braced Corners and Posts – Deep-set posts and H-braces that keep the fence line tight for years.
Gates and Access – Gates hung level with latches that work, placed where you need them.
