Hanover County is unique — suburban neighborhoods meet working farms. We handle both worlds: backyard privacy fences for new subdivisions AND agricultural fencing for horse farms, livestock, and rural properties.
Newer developments like Kings Charter, Farrington, and Brittles Lake have suburban fencing needs similar to Short Pump or Glen Allen.
Multi-acre properties with horses, livestock, or working farms need specialized fencing that balances function, durability, and land use regulations.
Whether you're fencing a 1/4-acre backyard in Kings Charter or a 50-acre horse farm in rural Hanover, Evergreen Fence has the expertise and equipment to deliver professional results.
The most popular choice for new Mechanicsville subdivisions. Maintenance-free, 30+ year lifespan, and available in white, tan, and clay colors.

Many Mechanicsville and rural Hanover properties rely on well water and septic systems — both create fence installation challenges.
Virginia Dept. of Health requires 10ft clearance around well heads. We locate your well cap and design fence routes that maintain compliance.
Never dig post holes in septic drainfields (causes system failure). We review your septic plat or use county records to map drainfield location.
Health departments require preserving "reserve drainfield area" for future system replacement. We ensure fence placement doesn't compromise this space.
Hanover County has minimum 2-5 acre zoning in many rural areas. Fencing entire perimeters can be cost-prohibitive — we help prioritize where fencing delivers maximum value.
We provide free site assessments to help you design a fencing plan that fits your goals and budget.
Unlike Henrico and Chesterfield, most of Hanover County has limited or no HOA oversight — giving homeowners more freedom in fence design and placement.
✓ Height flexibility: County code permits up to 6ft in rear/side yards (some subdivisions have no limit)
✓ Material freedom: Choose any material — wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain link, split rail
✓ Color options: No HOA color restrictions (stain wood any shade, use bright colors if desired)
✓ Faster timeline: No ARB approval process — install as soon as county permit approved (5-10 days)
Exception: Newer subdivisions (Kings Charter, Farrington) may have HOAs. We verify before starting any project.
Hanover's rural landscape presents unique challenges: rolling hills, wooded areas, wetlands, and abundant wildlife.
"We have a 15-acre horse farm. Evergreen installed 2,000 feet of 3-rail split rail with wire mesh for our pastures. Brought in a tractor, knocked it out in a week, and the price was 30% less than other quotes. Horses love it."

"We're in Kings Charter subdivision. Needed a 6ft vinyl privacy fence for our backyard. Evergreen handled the county permit, installed the fence in 2 days, and it looks amazing. No HOA hassles, no stress."

"Deer were destroying my vegetable garden. Evergreen installed 8ft deer fencing around the whole garden (200ft). Haven't lost a single tomato since. They knew exactly what height and mesh type would work. Problem solved."
