Protect vegetable beds, ornamentals, and orchard trees from Chapel Hill-area deer, rabbits, and groundhogs.
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.
Tuned to Chapel Hill-area pests
Deer, rabbits, groundhogs, and woodchucks each need a different fence spec. We design garden enclosures for the specific pressure on your Chapel Hill property.
Ground-line details
Mesh spacing and apron details should match the browsing and digging animals affecting your garden.
Walk-in gates that actually work
Wide, latching gates that fit a wheelbarrow — designed for the way Chapel Hill gardeners actually use their gardens.
Compatible with raised beds and orchards
From a 400 sq ft kitchen garden to a 2-acre orchard, we scale the design to your Chapel Hill property without overbuilding.
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.
Identify which animals are browsing or digging before choosing mesh and ground-line details. Leave practical access for tools, wheelbarrows and seasonal maintenance.

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.
Generic UV-vulnerable mesh
Mesh that isn't UV-stabilized fails in 2-3 Carolina summers. We install the climate-spec product, not the catalog default.
Going short on a wooded lot
Carolina deer clear 6 ft easily, especially in winter. 7.5–8 ft is the working minimum.
Skipping the apron
Groundhog and armadillo pressure varies across the Carolinas, but where it's present, an unaproned fence loses the garden in one season.
Coated-only hardware
Coated hardware corrodes in Carolina humidity faster than the literature claims. Hot-dipped galvanized is the only long-term spec.
