Low-visibility physical fencing for Chapel Hill gardens — plan height, gates and ground-line details for deer exclusion without a guarantee against every animal.
Free virtual consultation · Clear timeline in your written proposal
Southeast · Chapel Hill
Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and the wooded neighborhoods of Orange and Chatham counties combine mature canopy, heavy deer pressure, and a serious gardening culture. Our nearly invisible fence systems protect ornamental beds, vegetable gardens, and family pets without clearing the trees that make these properties special.
Regional planning guidance; your property's conditions and installation eligibility need individual review.
Local wildlife
Orange and Chatham county deer browsing is intense in nearly every wooded subdivision, and coyote populations have grown notably over the last decade. Real physical fencing is the only durable answer for serious gardeners here.
Lots & terrain
Lots range from in-town Chapel Hill parcels to multi-acre wooded properties in Chatham County. We follow contours and route around mature trees rather than clearing them.
Sized for Chapel Hill deer pressure
We size our deer fences to the actual local deer behavior — herd size, jump pressure, and seasonal browsing patterns specific to the Chapel Hill region.
Nearly invisible from the road
Black polypropylene mesh disappears against a wooded backdrop — protects your gardens without turning your yard into a compound.
Protects 6-figure landscape investments
Mature ornamentals, vegetable gardens, fruit trees — one season of deer browsing can erase years of work in Chapel Hill yards.
Built for regional climate
Galvanized hardware and freeze-thaw-rated tensioners hold up through decades of Chapel Hill-area weather.
Plan the enclosure
Lots range from in-town Chapel Hill parcels to multi-acre wooded properties in Chatham County. We follow contours and route around mature trees rather than clearing them.
Plan a continuous enclosure around the planting area. Height, gate closure and gaps at changes in terrain all matter; no fence is a guarantee against every animal.

What to expect on the logistics side of a Chapel Hill-area install.
Check local height, setback and HOA requirements for your property before installation. Obtaining permits and submitting HOA paperwork are the homeowner's responsibility; specification sheets and renderings are available on request.
Weather, ground conditions, access and required approvals can affect scheduling. Your written proposal confirms the installation timing for your property.
The four most common reasons Chapel Hill-area homeowners end up replacing a fence twice.
UV-vulnerable mesh
Generic mesh fails in 2-3 Carolina summers. UV-stabilized black mesh is a different product entirely — and the only one we'll install in the South.
Setting posts shallow in saturated clay
Piedmont clay holds water for weeks. Shallow posts lean within two seasons. We set deep enough to ignore the saturation cycle.
Going to 6 ft on a wooded lot
Carolina deer clear 6 ft easily, especially when browsing pressure is high. 7.5–8 ft is the working minimum.
Trying to DIY the cable tension
Under-tensioned cable lets the mesh sag. Over-tensioned cable tears the post connections. The system has to be engineered, not improvised.
