Fence Company in Havana, FL

Fencing in Havana

Havana sits on US 27 about a dozen miles north of Tallahassee in Gadsden County, not far from the Georgia line. The town is known for its shops and old storefronts, and like Quincy it has tobacco-farming roots. Around it, the land rolls into farms, pine woods and homes on several acres. Many residents work in Tallahassee and want a fence that keeps dogs and kids in without a lot of upkeep.

In town

Lots in town are smaller and closer together. Wood privacy fences and shadowbox fences are common between neighbors; picket fences and black aluminum suit older homes. The Town of Havana sets its own rules inside town limits, so check with town hall before building a fence along a street.

Out in the country

Outside town, Gadsden County rules apply, and fence projects get longer:

• Board and wire fencing for horses, cattle and goats
• Chain link around the house area to keep dogs close
• Wide gates for tractors and trailers, sometimes with an opener at the driveway
• Cross fencing to divide pasture

Ground and weather

The area sits in the Red Hills, with clay soil and slopes. Clay holds posts firmly but stays wet; long runs need good corner braces and drainage. Open fields catch wind from passing storms, so gates and corners deserve heavier posts.

Planning a long run

For acreage, walk the line before the quote: note low spots, creeks, trees on the line and where gates go. Clearing brush and removing old wire are often the hidden costs. The cost guide shows typical per-foot ranges.

Repairs

Old farm fences and backyard fences in Havana often need new posts, re-stretched wire or a re-hung gate rather than a full replacement. See fence repair.

Before any post hole is dug, Florida law requires a locate request through Sunshine 811 at least two full business days ahead, so buried power, gas, water and cable lines get marked. A good contractor handles this for you; ask to make sure.
