Glen Allen Installation Expertise

Corner Lot Setback Compliance

Glen Allen has many corner lots with strict dual-frontage setback requirements. Henrico County Code § 24-96 requires:

  • Primary street: 25ft setback from right-of-way
  • Secondary street: 15ft setback (side yard treated as front)
  • Height restriction: 4ft max in setback areas (visibility triangle)

Evergreen's Solution: We survey your lot lines, verify plat setbacks, and design fencing layouts that maximize enclosure while maintaining full code compliance. Corner lots often require creative solutions like stepped heights or decorative aluminum for visibility.

HVAC & Utility Screening

Many Glen Allen HOAs (especially Twin Hickory and Grey Oaks) require screening for ground-mounted HVAC units, pool equipment, and generators visible from the street or common areas.

Screening Requirements:

  • Matching Materials: Screen must match primary fence (vinyl, aluminum, etc.)
  • Airflow Clearance: Minimum 24-36 inches from unit (per manufacturer)
  • Service Access: Must include hinged gate panel for technician access
  • Permit Compliance: Mechanical permits may require updated site plan

Evergreen's Specialty: We coordinate HVAC screening designs with manufacturer clearance requirements and HOA aesthetic standards. Common solutions include 3-sided enclosures with louvered gates or decorative aluminum panels that match your primary fence.

Protecting Established Landscaping

Glen Allen's mature communities (The Highlands especially) have trees, shrubs, and gardens worth $10,000-$50,000. Protecting them during fence installation is critical.

Root Zone Protection

Post holes within tree drip lines use hand-digging or air spading to avoid severing critical roots. We never use augers within 10ft of mature hardwoods.

Irrigation System Mapping

We coordinate with homeowners to map underground sprinkler lines before digging. Repair any damaged lines at our expense (rare with proper planning).

Garden Bed Restoration

Mulch beds, decorative stone, and edging near fence lines are carefully removed, protected during installation, and fully restored to original condition.

"They worked around my prize-winning roses and 30-year-old azaleas without a single casualty. True professionals." — Susan M., The Highlands

Henrico County Clay Soil Expertise

West Henrico has some of the densest clay soil in the Richmond metro (60-80% clay content). Standard installation methods lead to heaving, shifting, and premature failure.

Our Clay-Specific Installation Process:

  1. 42-inch post depth (vs. 30 inches in sandy soil) — below frost line to prevent heaving
  2. 10-12 inch diameter holes — oversized to allow proper concrete coverage and expansion room
  3. 4-inch gravel base layer — promotes drainage, prevents water pooling at post base (rot prevention)
  4. Fast-setting concrete mix — cures properly despite clay's moisture retention
  5. 3-day cure time before tensioning fence (critical in clay — rushing causes post movement)

Result: Our fences in Twin Hickory and The Highlands installed 10+ years ago show zero post movement or heaving. Industry-leading longevity in challenging soil conditions.
