• Wood fencing, a common choice for privacy fencing on residential lots
• Vinyl fencing for a low-maintenance option that holds up well to weather
• Ornamental iron fencing for a more decorative look around a home or historic property
• Split rail and farm fencing for larger acreage, pasture, and rural boundary lines
• Chain link fencing for a durable, budget-friendly option

Fencing Around Carthage

Carthage's downtown includes several historic buildings, including the 1877 Smith County Courthouse, and the town sits along Cordell Hull Lake. That means we see a mix of in-town residential fencing and larger lake or river-adjacent properties. If your property is within Carthage, South Carthage, or Gordonsville city limits, each town handles its own permitting. Check with the applicable city office before you install. Outside those city limits, the Smith County Planning Office handles permitting. Talk to us before you start and we'll help you figure out what your property needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to install a fence in Carthage?

It depends on where your property sits. Carthage, South Carthage, and Gordonsville each handle permitting within their own city limits. If your property is outside all three, the Smith County Planning Office handles permitting for unincorporated areas. We can help you figure out which office applies to your project.

Do you install fencing on lakefront property near Cordell Hull Lake?

Yes. We install fencing on properties along Cordell Hull Lake and the surrounding area, including boundary fencing and gates for larger waterfront lots.

What fence materials do you recommend for Smith County properties?

It depends on the property. In-town lots near downtown Carthage often do well with wood or vinyl privacy fencing. Larger rural or riverfront tracts are often better suited to split rail or farm fencing. Tell us about your property and we'll walk you through the options.
