These are the fence types and services that Clarksville-area fence companies list on their own websites. Price ranges are national figures from Angi cost guides, read Nov 14, 2026, and are not quotes.
Wood privacy fences
The most common backyard fence: pressure-treated or cedar pickets on wood or steel posts, usually 6 feet tall. Angi lists wood at about $10 to $45 per linear foot. Expect to stain or seal it every few years.
Vinyl fences
Privacy, semi-privacy and picket styles in vinyl that do not need painting. Angi's fence guide lists vinyl at about $15 to $40 per linear foot and privacy fences in general at about $25 to $40. Angi's install-a-fence cost page gives a 150-foot vinyl fence an average of about $6,750.
Chain link fences
Galvanized or black vinyl-coated chain link for large yards, pets and back lots. Angi lists chain link at about $8 to $40 per linear foot, the lowest-cost of the common materials.
Aluminum and ornamental fences
Black aluminum fencing for front yards, pools and a finished look without blocking the view. Angi lists aluminum at about $17 to $90 per linear foot. Pool barriers may have extra code rules; ask the installer.
Gates
Walk gates, double drive gates for mowers and trailers, and gate hardware. Gates add to the cost, so count them in every quote. Ask for self-closing, latching hardware if the fence is meant to keep kids or dogs in.
Fence repair and replacement
Replacing leaning posts, broken pickets or storm-damaged sections, or tearing out an old fence and installing a new one. Angi lists old fence removal at about $3 to $5 per linear foot; make sure removal and haul-off are in the price.
What changes the price of a fence
Length is the main driver, which is why fences are priced by the linear foot. After that comes material, then height: a 6-foot privacy fence uses more material than a 4-foot picket fence. Gates add cost, especially wide double drive gates. Ground conditions matter in Middle Tennessee, where rock can slow down post hole digging. Removing an old fence first adds labor and disposal, which Angi puts at about $3 to $5 per linear foot.
Choosing a fence type
If privacy and keeping a dog in are the goals, a 6-foot wood or vinyl privacy fence is the usual answer. Wood costs less up front; vinyl costs more but skips the staining. If you just need to contain pets or mark a large lot, chain link covers the most ground for the money. For a front yard or a pool area where you want to keep the view, aluminum is the common choice. Check your HOA rules before choosing, since many neighborhoods limit styles and heights.
