Virginia Class A Contractor · License #2705197977 · Serving Chesterfield County

Chesterfield's backyard specialist. Fence and site work, all in one.

A beautiful fence around a swamp is still a swamp. Before the fence goes in, we clear brush, pull stumps, fix the grade, and get water moving out — French drains and buried downspouts. One crew, done right.

Fix the yard before the fence closes it in

A backyard specialist sees the whole job, not just the property line. If the yard holds water now, a new fence will not solve it — and harder access after installation can make the repair more expensive. Morrison can grade and level the yard, remove stumps and brush, install French drains, and route downspouts underground before the posts go in.

  • Grading and excavation
  • Stump removal
  • French drain installation
  • Brush clearing
  • Buried downspout lines
  • Fence demolition and haul-away
  • Drainage correction
  • Walk and drive gates
  • HOA paperwork support
01 · DRAINAGE

Stop standing water

Move water away with proper grading, French drains, and buried downspout lines planned for the way your property drains.

02 · SITE PREP

Start clean and level

Clear brush, remove stumps, and shape the ground before fence access is restricted and the finished yard is harder to repair.

03 · ONE PROJECT

Finish the whole backyard

One owner-led crew handles the ground work and the fence, so the finished enclosure looks good and drains the way it should.

Simple from start to finish

Three steps to a better backyard

No runaround and no high-pressure sales routine. Mark looks at the property, gives you clear choices, and oversees the installation.

01

Free estimate

We measure the run, inspect slope, access, stumps, brush, and where water collects, then give you clear fence and site-work options.

02

Plan the whole yard

Choose the fence material, height, gates, and layout, then decide whether grading, drainage, clearing, or downspout routing should happen first.

03

Ground work, then fence

We coordinate the Virginia 811 request, complete the approved site prep, and install the fence. Before the crew leaves, Mark walks the finished backyard with you.

Fence resources

Start with the basics

Choosing a wood fence style

  • Standard privacy gives the most visual screening.
  • Board-on-board improves privacy as boards season.
  • Shadowbox opens the look and shares a finished face on both sides.
  • Gate width and slope should be planned before the posts go in.

Why homeowners choose vinyl

  • No staining or painting.
  • Panels clean with soap, water, and a soft brush.
  • It resists rot, splinters, and insect damage.
  • Precise post spacing matters because vinyl shows a wavy install.

Fence maintenance basics

  • Keep soil and mulch from piling against the bottom.
  • Trim vines before they add weight or trap moisture.
  • Check gate hardware and latches each season.
  • Address pooling water early to protect posts and grade.
Straight answers

Fence questions, answered

How much does a new fence cost?
Starting at $50 per linear foot for wood privacy, $60 for vinyl, $65 for aluminum, $25 for chain link, and $30 for split rail. The final quote depends on footage, height, material, gates, terrain, demolition, and site work.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Chesterfield County?
Chesterfield County generally does not require a building permit for a standard residential fence. Zoning, easements, corner visibility, pools, and HOA rules can still affect placement or specifications, so we review the property conditions before work begins.
How long does installation take?
Most standard residential fence installations are completed in 1–3 days once work begins. Large runs, difficult terrain, extensive removal, drainage work, weather, and custom gates can extend that timeline.
Who handles the Virginia 811 dig request?
We coordinate the required Virginia 811 utility-marking request before digging. Private lines — such as irrigation, propane, invisible pet fence, landscape lighting, or lines to detached buildings — are not always marked by public utilities and need to be identified by the property owner or a private locator.
What warranty comes with the fence?
Morrison Fence Company includes a 1-year workmanship warranty on installation. Manufacturer material warranties vary by fence product and will be explained with your quote. The written agreement controls the exact coverage and exclusions.
Can you fix standing water before installing the fence?
Yes. If water already pools in the yard, it is smart to address it before a new fence restricts equipment access. Grading, leveling, French drains, buried downspout lines, stump removal, brush clearing, old-fence demolition, and haul-away can all be bundled with the fence installation.
Can you help with HOA approval?
Yes. We can help organize the fence style, height, placement, and product information your HOA may request. Final approval always comes from the association.
