From full-privacy stockade and board on board to picket, lattice top, horizontal, and split rail, Stateside Fence & Deck LLC builds every style below on site for homeowners in Greenville, Spartanburg, Greer, Duncan, and 19 more Upstate cities. Compare the options, then let us price your fence for free.
Every panel is cut and fastened on your property, so the fence follows your grade instead of stepping awkwardly across it.
A local crew you can reach by phone, with clear pricing and a written estimate before any post goes in the ground.
We measure the property line, talk through styles and heights, and give you an exact number — at no cost and with no pressure.
Start with the job the fence has to do. If you want the backyard screened from the neighbors, you are looking at a solid privacy style. If you want to define the front yard, keep the dog in, or frame a garden, an open picket or post-and-board style will serve you better and cost less per foot.
After that it comes down to how the fence should look from both sides, how much wind your lot takes, and what your HOA allows. Shadowbox styles finish the same on both faces and let air pass through. Board on board seals every gap. Lattice, grid, and spindle tops add height and detail without turning the fence line into a flat wall.
Every style below is one we actually build in Upstate South Carolina, in pressure-treated pine or western red cedar, with posts set in concrete and gates framed to stay square.

Traditional and modern designs, each available with custom top cuts, post caps, trim boards, and matching gates. Tap any style to see it full size.
Solid-board fences that block sightlines and wind. These are the styles most Upstate homeowners choose for a backyard, pool area, or shared property line.
Pickets butted edge to edge on one side of the rails create a solid wall of wood. It is the most popular privacy fence in the Upstate and the most budget-friendly way to close in a backyard.
Best for: Full backyard privacy at the best price
Boards alternate from front to back across the rails, so the fence looks finished from both sides and air still moves through the panel instead of pushing against it.
Best for: Shared property lines and windy, open lots
Each vertical board overlaps the next, so there are no gaps to see through — even after the wood dries out and shrinks during a South Carolina summer.
Best for: Total privacy that stays tight for years
A privacy panel finished with a top cap and trim board that hides the picket ends and frames the whole fence line in one clean, level run.
Best for: An upscale, finished look on a privacy fence
Boards run side to side between posts for a wide, modern profile. We use thicker rails and tighter post spacing so long horizontal runs stay straight and true.
Best for: Modern and new-construction homes
The modern horizontal look combined with alternating boards, giving you a fence that reads as private from the yard while still letting a breeze pass through.
Best for: Modern privacy with airflow
Boards set at opposing angles form a woven, custom-milled pattern. It is the most detailed wood fence we build and it turns a plain property line into a feature.
Best for: A statement fence or backyard focal wall
A solid privacy base with an open decorative topper. You gain height and character without ending up with a tall, flat wall of wood.
Classic diagonal lattice sits above a privacy panel, adding roughly a foot of height and a softer profile. Climbing plants take to it beautifully.
Best for: Extra height without a solid wall
A square grid section caps the privacy panel — a cleaner, more contemporary take on the traditional lattice topper.
Best for: Contemporary homes and modern landscaping
Turned spindles sit above a solid privacy base, letting light through the top of the fence while the bottom still screens the yard completely.
Best for: Privacy with an open, airy top
Open styles that mark a boundary, contain kids and pets, and add curb appeal without blocking the view from the porch.
Evenly spaced pickets define the yard without closing it in. We set the gap to match your goal — tighter for dogs, wider for a decorative garden border.
Best for: Front yards, gardens, and pet areas
Spaced pickets run under a continuous horizontal top rail, giving the fence a straighter, more architectural line along the street.
Best for: A decorative boundary with clean structure
Wide and narrow pickets alternate down the fence line to create rhythm and shadow, so a simple open fence still has real character.
Best for: Curb appeal on a front or side yard
The timeless short picket fence with dog-ear, Gothic, or flat-top cuts. It frames a yard, keeps the view open, and suits historic and cottage-style homes.
Best for: Traditional and cottage-style homes
Long-run fencing for acreage, driveways, and pastures — economical per foot, easy to follow across rolling Upstate terrain, and simple to add mesh to when you need containment.
Heavy posts with two, three, or four horizontal boards. Open, clean, and the most economical way to fence a large property or line a driveway.
Best for: Acreage, pastures, and driveway lines
A post and board frame backed with welded wire mesh. You keep dogs, chickens, and livestock contained without giving up the open view across the property.
Best for: Dogs, chickens, and livestock containment
Chain link framed inside wood posts and rails. You get the strength and low maintenance of mesh with the warmth of a wood fence from the street.
Best for: Secure pet and pool enclosures that still look good
Rustic rails set into notched posts, with two or three rails depending on the height you want. It marks a boundary quickly over long distances.
Best for: Country properties and large open lots
Vinyl gives you the same privacy and picket looks with no painting, no staining, and no splinters. See the 12 vinyl fence styles we install across the Upstate.
Heights run from low decorative pickets to tall privacy panels. We confirm your city, county, and HOA limits before we build so the fence you pick is the fence you can keep.
Decorative & Front Yard
Picket and post-and-board heights that mark a property line, contain small dogs, and keep the view from your porch wide open.
Semi-Private
A middle ground that screens most of the yard, meets many HOA and pool-code requirements, and still feels open along a side yard.
Full Privacy
The standard for Upstate backyards. Six feet blocks sightlines from neighboring yards; eight feet is the choice for sloped lots and commercial sites.
The style you choose is what you see. These four things are what decide whether the fence still looks straight and solid a decade from now.
Every post is a pressure-treated 4x4 or 6x6 set 2 to 3 feet deep in concrete, below the frost line and deep enough to hold in Upstate clay. Correct post depth and spacing is what keeps a fence from leaning three winters from now.
Horizontal rails carry the weight of the boards and spread it evenly along the run. We use three rails on 6-foot and taller privacy fences so panels do not sag or bow in the middle over time.
Choose pressure-treated pine or western red cedar, with dog-ear, flat, Gothic, or French Gothic top cuts. Boards are fastened with coated ring-shank fasteners that will not stain the wood or back out as it dries.
Gates are built on site to match your fence style, hung on heavy-duty hinges with a diagonal brace or steel frame so they stay square, swing clean, and latch the same way in year five as on day one.
Vinyl and aluminum have their place, but wood is still the material that gives you the most style options, the friendliest price per foot, and the easiest repairs.
Pressure-treated pine resists rot and insects, and western red cedar stands up to moisture on its own. Paired with posts set deep in concrete, a wood fence handles Upstate humidity, summer storms, and clay soil that shifts through the seasons.
Nothing matches the warmth of real wood against a green Carolina lawn. Choose your picket cut, your post caps, and your stain color, and the fence ends up looking like part of the house instead of a barrier bolted onto the yard.
Wood costs less per linear foot than vinyl or aluminum, and repairs are simple — a damaged board comes off and a new one goes on. That keeps long-term maintenance affordable instead of turning into a full panel replacement.
