Fence Installation & Repair services in Johnston
Ask anyone who has dug a hole in Johnston and they will mention rock. The town sits on stony glacial ground, and the village name Graniteville tells you what is underneath in places. We bring a rock bar and expect to work around boulders, and now and then a post has to be cored into ledge. East of Interstate 295, in Thornton, Manton and Graniteville, houses are close together and jobs look much like those in Providence next door. West of the highway the town opens into larger wooded lots, farms and long driveways, where owners fence a pool, a dog area or a section of a bigger property instead of the whole boundary. Old fieldstone walls often mark the lines out there, and we build beside them, not through them.

Permits and local rules
Johnston's own zoning sets the fence height for each yard, and we could not confirm those figures from the town's text. Under the state building code a fence of 6 feet or less needs no building permit, but check the zoning limit with the Building Official before ordering.
