Fence Installation & Repair in Clayton, NC
Clayton's changed a lot since we started building fences in the Triangle. Farm fields along NC 42 are neighborhoods now. What hasn't changed is how we work. Our crews still roll out of the Garner shop on Old Mechanical Court, and an owner still signs off on every job.
Close Enough to Be Your Neighbor
Plenty of fence companies put Clayton on their map. Fewer can get a crew to your yard before lunch. Our shop is just up US 70 in Garner, so a Clayton estimate isn't a special trip.
Family-run since the 1980s. Emmett Goodwin Sr. started the company. His son Emmett Jr. runs it today.
Our crews, not a sub's. The same crews who build our Garner fences build yours, with an owner supervising.

Clayton Isn't One Kind of Yard
Johnston County has grown fast, and Clayton's lots aren't all alike. Each kind changes how we plan a fence.
NC 42 and the planned communities
Flowers Plantation, Tuscany and San Marino have HOA design rules. We read yours before we draw a layout, so the first design gets approved.
Neuse River lots
Glen Laurel, Knolls at the Neuse and Portofino often back up to the river. Grades drop and the ground stays wet. We mark easements before we pick post spots.
Acre lots and wooded parcels
Riverwood and Austin Pond have big wooded lots. A long run of wood privacy or split rail often beats vinyl there. We'll tell you which fits the budget.
Downtown and older streets
Near Main Street, lots are tight. Shared lines, old fences and big trees are the usual puzzle, so we walk the line with you first.
Clayton Zoning Compliance Permit
We'll help you put together the site plan the Planning Department asks for, with lot lines, easements and fence height marked.
Clayton's Fence Rules, Without the Legal Language
Clayton wants paperwork on almost every fence. Skip it and you could be pulling up new posts. Here's what the Town lists:
Permit first
Fences and walls up to 6 feet need a Zoning Compliance Permit. Anything taller needs a building permit too.
A simple site plan
Lot line distances, easements, fence height and a photo of the material.
Lines and neighbors
You can build on your line. Tying into a neighbor's fence needs their OK.
Keep it clear
No fences in easements or in the sight triangle at a corner or driveway.
Rules change, so we confirm the details with Clayton's Planning Department at (919) 553-5002 before materials get ordered.
Residential & Commercial Fencing in Clayton
Every wood post goes in concrete, on a small Flowers Plantation lot or a wooded acre by the river. For businesses along US 70 Business, we build chain-link, cantilever gates and dumpster enclosures.
Clayton Areas We Serve
Downtown Clayton, Flowers Plantation, the NC 42 corridor, Glen Laurel, Riverwood, Portofino, Wellesley, Tuscany, Academy Pointe and the Cleveland area.
Clayton Fence Questions We Hear Most
Do I need a permit for a fence in Clayton, NC?
Yes. Fences up to 6 feet need a Zoning Compliance Permit. Taller ones also need a building permit.
Can I put my fence right on the property line in Clayton?
Yes. Building on a shared line or tying into a neighbor's fence needs their consent first.
My HOA is in Flowers Plantation. Do I need their approval too?
Yes. It's separate from the Town's permit. Get it in writing before we start.
What fence holds up best on wet Neuse River lots?
Vinyl and aluminum won't rot. If you want wood, we use treated lumber and set posts in concrete.
Do you give free quotes in Clayton?
Yes. The walkthrough and written quote are free.
