We had a fabulous experience with Heartwood Fence! Very fast turnaround from deposit to execution. Approximately 460 LF of existing fence disposed of and new fence installed all within 48 hours! We decided at the start of the second day we wanted an additional gate and they updated the plan immediately. Spencer bid the job, wonderful to work with! Enjoyed that it wasn’ta sales pitch like you are buying a car. Sam, the foreman, and all the other installers were incredibly professional. We are so happy with the new fence and would highly recommend Heartwood Fence. Great value and workmanship.

Read on GoogleSpencer Elliott and his team were amazing to work with on our new fence. We worked together on finding the right design and fit for our yard. They not only performed the work on a timely basis, but it was excellent quality. We had a few grading issues (our issues) and they came back to make sure we were satisfied with the results. I would highly recommend Heartwood.

Read on GoogleHIGHLY RECOMMEND! From my very first interaction with Spencer to my final walk-through with Sam, I was impressed every step of the way. The entire process was professional, smooth, and customer-focused from start to finish. At my request, they provided several renderings so I could really visualize the finished project. Ironically, the very first one ended up being the design I chose—but I truly appreciated their patience throughout the process and the fact that they checked in periodically without ever making me feel pressured. The team was responsive, attentive, and clearly committed to making sure I was happy with the final result. By the time I did my final walk-around with Sam, I knew I had made the right choice with Heartwood Fence. If you’re looking for a company that values quality, communication, and customer service, I highly recommend Heartwood Fence.

ExploreFence installation across the Shenandoah Valley

What we install most in Harrisonburg
- 6 ft privacy wood, pressure-treated pine or Western red cedar, board-on-board or shadowbox.
- 4 ft picket, front-yard styles that suit older Harrisonburg streets.

Local climate
Freeze and thaw cycles and heavy wet snow are the hard part here. We set posts below the frost line and use galvanized hardware so nothing heaves or rusts.
Soil and dig conditions
Valley soil runs from clay loam to shallow limestone shelf. Where rock stops an auger we core or step the posts so the line stays true.
Permits in Harrisonburg
The City of Harrisonburg and Rockingham County both set height and setback limits, and pool fences carry their own rules. We check zoning and pull the permit for you before anything goes in the ground.
HOA handling
Newer Harrisonburg subdivisions and many Rockingham developments have fence guidelines on material, height, and which side faces out. We collect the approval form at the estimate and submit the drawings with it.

Homeowners talk
The kind of neighbor-recommending word-of-mouth we're built on.
“The crew showed up when they said, cleaned up every day, and the finished fence is the nicest one on the block. Zero drama.”
“We got three quotes. Heartwood wasn't the cheapest but the salesperson clearly knew what he was talking about. Two years in, no regrets.”
“They redesigned the gate layout so my truck actually fits through. Nobody else even asked.”
