About Backyard Borders

Built on Honest, Straightforward Work

Backyard Borders Fence Company has been installing and repairing fencing across Greeneville and Northeast Tennessee for over 20 years. We're locally run and built on a simple philosophy: price the job fairly, build it right, and stand behind the work. We don't mark up materials heavily, and we quote every job as a whole, your property, your terrain, your gate count, not a generic per-foot rate that changes once the crew shows up.

How We Work

Start to Finish, No Surprises

No hidden costs, no per-foot guessing games. We walk your property with you before we start, and again once the job's done, so you know exactly what you're getting at every step.

01

On-Site Estimate

We visit your property in person to measure, walk the fence line, and assess terrain before quoting. No generic per-foot rates, every estimate reflects your actual property.

02

Installation

Posts are set, fencing goes up, and gates are hung with hardware sized to the job. Most fences go up in just one day, with the majority of residential installations completed within a single day.

03

Walkthrough & Sign-Off

We walk the line with you before we start and again at completion. You sign off that everything matches what was agreed, nothing left unfinished.

Priced by the Job

Your quote reflects your actual property, terrain, and gate count, not a generic per-foot rate that changes once the crew shows up.


20+ Years of Experience

Installing and repairing fencing across Greeneville and Northeast Tennessee for over two decades.


Licensed, Insured & Bonded

A fencing company you can trust, fully licensed, insured, and bonded for every project we take on.


Manufacturer Warranty

Every fence includes a manufacturer warranty, and if there’s ever an issue with how we built it, we come back and fix it at no charge.

Customer Stories

What Northeast Tennessee Says

"We recently relocated to the Johnson City area, and one of the reasons we chose to move here is because the people are so wonderful. The same can be said for local businesses like Backyard Borders. We received a prompt quote for the work and only had a short wait while the supplies were ordered. The crew arrived on time, got right to work, worked hard, and finished the job quickly. Throughout the entire process, they were friendly, respectful, neat, thorough, and incredibly helpful. The fence looks great, and we could not be happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Backyard Borders!"


Chris J

Johnson City, TN · New Fence Install

"Aaron and everyone at Backyard Borders Fence were great to work with! They provided a quote and timeline and followed through on everything they promised. Their team arrived on time, got right to work, and did a fantastic job building a dog fence at my new home in Greeneville. I could not have asked for a better experience, especially at such a reasonable price. They worked quickly without sacrificing quality, and the materials they used were sturdy and well installed. I would recommend them to anyone and would gladly use them again. Great job, and keep up the excellent work!"


Dale P

Greeneville, TN · Dog Containment Fence

"Backyard Borders did a fantastic job on our fence. Aaron was respectful and prompt when I requested a quote and remained communicative throughout the entire process. His team was extremely professional and made sure I was satisfied during every stage of the build. Once the fence was finished, they walked the property with me to confirm that everything met my expectations. The entire project took just 2.5 days from start to finish, and they likely would have completed it even sooner if they had not encountered so many rocks beneath the surface. I would highly recommend Backyard Borders to anyone in need of a fence!"
