Explore Wood Fences
At Heron Building Co, we design and build custom wood fences for homes across Nashville, Franklin, and surrounding areas.
Every fence is built on site with care. No prebuilt panels. No shortcuts. Our fences are made to look clean, last longer, and fit your home the right way. With over a decade of experience in residential and commercial fence installation, we focus on serving clients who want a quality product and experience. Using premium materials, building with top tier craftsmanship, and providing a five-star client experience from start to finish.
What Makes Our Wood Fences Different:
Most wood fences are built fast and priced low. They often lean, warp, or fail early. We take a different approach. We build each fence from the ground up. We focus on layout, spacing, and straight lines. We use premium building materials and install professionally so your fence holds up over time.
We also guide you through the process from start to finish, explaining your options in a clear way so you can make the right choice for your home. You will always know what to expect, what you are getting, and why it matters.
Pine Fences
Pine is a strong, pressure-treated wood that offers great durability at a lower cost. It’s treated to resist rot and insects, making it a reliable option for most homes. Because pine starts with more moisture, it needs time to dry before staining or sealing. Pine fences can be built in all common styles and are a good fit if you want a solid fence at a more budget-friendly price.
Cedar Fences
Cedar is a premium wood that naturally resists rot, decay, and insects without chemical treatment. It has less moisture than pine, so it stays straighter and ages more evenly over time. Cedar fences have a rich, warm color and require less maintenance overall. They’re an excellent choice if you're looking for long-lasting performance and a higher-end look.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS:
Every Heron wood fence is custom stick-built on site, meaning our team is building specifically for your yard’s layout, grade, and conditions. We never use prefabricated panels. Fence materials are delivered directly to your job site prior to installation so everything is on hand and ready for an efficient build.
All wood posts are set approximately 2 feet deep in high-strength concrete, and our team builds each wood fence using high quality galvanized ring-shank nails driven with professional grade pneumatic nail guns. This allows the fasteners to countersink properly into the wood for maximum strength and long term holding power. Galvanized ring-shank nails create a stronger, more durable hold that reduces warping and loose pickets over time.
Once installation is complete, your foreman will walk the finished fence with you using our Installation Inspection Checklist to ensure every detail meets our standards and your satisfaction.

Anthony,

Jake and his team were wonderful. The process from start to finish was very efficient, but not rushed. We are so happy with the fence and will recommend Heron to everyone we know. Great experience!
Adam,

We couldn’t be happier with our new cedar fence! The whole process was smooth and incredibly fast. Jake was professional, efficient, and respectful of our property, and they completed the job in record time without sacrificing quality. The fence looks fantastic, and we can already see the difference it makes in both our privacy and the overall look of Our yard. If you’re looking for top-notch workmanship, fantastic quality, and a quick turnaround, we highly recommend Heron Building Co. We will definitely use them again for future projects!

The most professional and technically correct company I've ever used. This is the company you want to do your job hands down. There workers are machines and the owner is very polite and concerned about your needs.

Jake and Heron are the absolute best. Professional. Disciplined with the schedule. Diligent and thorough. Immaculately organized. I unfortunately have used others (one big named garden center and then a different fence company) and after using Heron will only use Heron for future projects. The fence exceeded our expectations! I am planning on using them again for a possible partial/decorative fence to delineate the boundary between property lines and add some architectural character.

I recently had Heron install a fence around my yard. They were extremely professional and friendly. They worked clean and did a outstanding job. The installers Logan and TJ did a great job on the fence in some extremely rocky soil, and some uphill grades. Jake came by to make sure I was 100 % happy with their work. I will definitely use Heron for my future building needs!

I hired Heron Building Co to fence in my front yard and demo & update an existing backyard fence. I struggled to find a fence company in Nashville that had the skills to build something a bit more custom & aesthetic - thankfully I found Heron Building Co! Jake and his team couldn’t have been easier to work with - they provided clear marketing materials outlining their process, immediately understood my vision & determined how to make it work for my space, and skillfully constructed the fence. They were quick to respond to any changes along the way and kept me updated on completion timelines when >100 degree weather made it literally unbearable to work long hours outside. The crew was kind, respectful, quiet, and kept the working area clean. Jake was also a great connector - providing us awesome recommendations for both a land survey & fence / deck staining & painting company. I couldn’t be happier with our fence and the overall experience.

Very glad we worked with Heron. Jake was terrific and flexible with our schedules and quick to return updated proposals as we iterated on what we were looking for. Logan and his team led the removal of our old fence and install of the new one. He was great to work with as they completed the work.

Heron Building went above and beyond to design and build our backyard fence. I am ecstatic to say that Heron Building over delivered on their end every step of the way. We will absolutely be using them in the future for many more backyard projects! Give them your next project ideas and thank me later!!

Marc,
Heron Client
We recently worked with Heron Building Co to replace our fence and it couldn’t have been a better experience! They were great to work with, very responsive, and were so pleased with the final result! We worked with Jake on the consult, and Chris and Mason were our installers and they did an awesome job. I would definitely recommend this company.
Gracyn,
Heron Client
Absolutely fantastic experience with Jake and the rest of his team at Heron. Even the process of assessing the job and getting an estimate was thorough. It was clear what work was going to be done, and communication from the team through the process always kept us informed. Shout out to his crew members Logan and Rogelio Jr, who installed a beautiful fence and survived the craziness of our back yard!
