Fence Haven, a family-owned fencing company serving the Knoxville metro area, today announced the completion of a decorative wood privacy fence installation coordinated with a new homeowner's move-in date, allowing the family's dogs to access their fenced yard on day one. The project is documented through Fence Haven's wood fence services and reflects a growing pattern among Knoxville-area homeowners who want decorative upgrades to standard privacy fencing without significantly higher costs.
The installation was completed for homeowner Ashley Turkasz, who coordinated the timing with the company several weeks before her family relocated. Working backward from the move-in date, the Fence Haven team scheduled material delivery, post setting, and panel installation so the yard would be fully enclosed before the moving truck arrived. The homeowner publicly noted that the timing allowed the family's dogs to explore the new yard on the first day at the property, rather than waiting weeks for a contractor's standard scheduling window.

The fence itself moved beyond a standard wood privacy design. The homeowner requested decorative elements that added visual character to the perimeter without pushing the project into a premium price tier. Fence Haven designed the layout to incorporate the decorative detailing while using cost-effective materials and an installation method the company has refined across hundreds of residential projects. The completed fence is documented in three photos shared by the customer on her public review.
According to company leadership, the decorative wood category has grown as Knoxville homeowners look for alternatives to plain six-foot privacy panels. Many buyers want their fence to read as part of the home's design rather than a utility installation, but few are willing to pay for full custom millwork. Fence Haven has built its wood fence process around delivering decorative options at standard privacy fence price points, a pattern the company has tracked across recent residential work in Knoxville, Farragut, and Maryville.
The company's broader installation approach includes deep post setting with high-PSI concrete, utility marking before any digging, and a two-year workmanship guarantee on the completed installation. Roughly 80 percent of Fence Haven's residential business involves households with dogs, and the company designs each fence with pet containment in mind — eliminating gaps at the base, avoiding sharp hardware at dog height, and confirming gate latches hold against larger breeds. The Turkasz installation followed the same protocol, which the homeowner cited as part of why the family selected the company.
"After enough years in this work, you learn that a fence is rarely just a fence to the homeowner. It's the thing that lets them stop worrying about the dog, or finally use the back yard, or feel like the house is actually theirs," said Logan Tharp, owner of Fence Haven. "Hitting a move-in date matters because the homeowner has already lived with the stress of the move. Our job is to take one thing off that list, not add to it."
