Fence Contractor in Harrodsburg, KY for Farms, Homes and Businesses
From the cattle and horse farms along US-68 and the Kentucky River to the neighborhoods around downtown and Anderson-Dean Park, Chafin Fence LLC installs and repairs residential, commercial and farm fencing across Harrodsburg, Burgin, Salvisa and the rest of Mercer County. Licensed, insured, BBB accredited, 5-Year Craftsmanship Guarantee.
Old town, working land: fenced for both.
Harrodsburg is where Kentucky started, and it still runs on the land around it: cattle and hay operations toward Burgin and Salvisa, horse farms on the Danville and Lexington roads, Shaker Village drawing visitors down US-68, and a downtown of older homes on smaller lots that need a fence to fit the house, not fight it.
Our shop is a straight shot up US-68 in Lexington, so a free on-site estimate in Mercer County is a normal part of our week. We walk the line, talk wire or board, height, gates and the rock you'll hit at two feet, and put one firm price in writing before anything is scheduled.

What is different about fencing in Mercer County.
Every county in Central Kentucky has its own quirks. These are the ones that come up on Mercer County jobs.
Permits in Harrodsburg & Mercer County
Boundary fences under six feet generally don't need a permit here, but setback rules apply inside city limits, corner lots have sight-line limits, and anything near the historic downtown can carry extra review. Farm fencing outside the city is typically exempt. We confirm before we quote.
Rock, river bottoms and ridges
Mercer County ground goes from shallow limestone on the ridges to soft river-bottom soil near the Kentucky River and Dix River. We set posts to the ground, not to a formula, and brace corners so wire stays tight through freeze-thaw.
Livestock first
This is cattle and horse country. We spec woven field fence for mixed herds, 2x4 no-climb with a top board for horses, and high-tensile for the long perimeter runs, and we never put barbed wire on a horse pasture.
Kentucky 811 & property lines
A utility locate is required by law before we dig, and we call it in. On farm boundaries and older town lots we recommend confirming pins or a survey before a long run goes in.
Real fences, real Central Kentucky yards.
