Split Rail Fencing in Northern Virginia
When a property needs a boundary that feels open and rural rather than closed in, split rail fencing in Northern Virginia is often the perfect answer. This is the fence you see edging pastures, gardens, and generous suburban lots, and at 66 Landscaping our local team installs it with the kind of care that keeps rails level and posts solid for the long haul. Every job starts with a free estimate and clear, honest pricing, and since we are licensed and insured, you can hand off the work knowing it is being handled by professionals.
The Appeal of Split Rail Fencing
Split rail has a relaxed, country character that suits large yards, wooded lots, and homes that want a defined edge without a wall. Because the design uses spaced horizontal rails, it marks a boundary while letting light, air, and scenery pass right through. It is also one of the more economical ways to enclose a lot of ground, which makes it a smart choice when you have a bigger property to outline. We can add wire mesh backing if you need to keep pets contained while keeping that open, rustic look.
- An affordable option for enclosing larger properties
- Open design that preserves views and natural light
- Rugged, low-maintenance wood that ages gracefully
- Optional mesh backing for pet and garden containment
Split Rail Fencing Done Right
The difference between a split rail line that stands straight for years and one that starts leaning is all in the groundwork. Our crew digs proper post holes, sets each post firmly, and checks the run for level and alignment as the rails go in. We take the time to walk the layout with you first, marking where gates and corners land so the finished fence works with your daily routine and the shape of your land. That patient approach is what quality workmanship looks like on the ground.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is split rail fencing good for keeping dogs in?
On its own, the open design lets small pets slip through. To keep dogs contained while preserving the rustic look, we add wire mesh backing along the fence. Mention it during your free estimate and we will size it correctly for your yard.
How many rails should my fence have?
Two-rail and three-rail are the common choices. Two-rail suits gardens and decorative edges, while three-rail gives a taller, more secure boundary. We will recommend the right height based on the look you want and how the fence will be used.
What upkeep does split rail need?
Very little. The rough-hewn wood is meant to weather naturally, so most owners simply check posts periodically and reset the occasional rail. It is one of the lowest-maintenance fence styles we install, which is part of its appeal.
Which areas do you serve?
Yes, we cover all of Northern Virginia, including Lake Ridge, Dale City, and Dumfries. Call (703) 568-9644 if you would like us to confirm that your address falls within our service range.
Do you handle permits for fences and decks?
Requirements vary by locality across Northern Virginia. We are familiar with local rules and will let you know what is needed for your specific project.
Can you repair my existing fence instead of replacing it?
Often, yes. If the posts and framing are sound we can repair sections and hardware. If it is beyond repair, we will tell you honestly and quote a replacement.
How long does a fence or deck installation take?
Most residential installs take a few days depending on size, materials and layout. You will get a clear timeline with your free estimate.
