Fence Installation in Livingston, TN

Cookeville Fence Co. installs and repairs residential and agricultural fencing throughout Livingston and the rest of Overton County. Livingston sits in a confirmed karst region, with documented sinkholes, sinking streams, and spring features like The Boils on Spring Creek. We account for these ground conditions when we plan post layout and depth on any property in the area. Whether you're fencing an in-town lot near the historic Courthouse Square or a rural property outside city limits, we handle the layout, materials, and installation from start to finish.

Permitting in Livingston works a little differently than in surrounding areas. Overton County has no county-wide building code outside Livingston's city limits, so a fence on rural county property generally doesn't fall under a county permitting process. Inside Livingston city limits, City Hall handles permits. We can help you figure out which situation applies to your property before work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

It depends on where your property is located. Inside Livingston city limits, City Hall handles permitting. Outside city limits, Overton County has no county-wide building code, so rural properties generally aren't subject to a county permit process for fence construction. We can help you confirm which applies to your property.

Does Livingston's soil or terrain affect fence installation?

Overton County is a confirmed karst region, with documented sinkholes and sinking streams. This kind of ground can affect post-hole digging and layout in certain spots. We assess the site before installation so posts are set right for the conditions we find.

Do you install fencing outside of Livingston as well?

Yes. We serve Livingston and the surrounding Overton County area, including smaller communities nearby.
