The name on the truck answers the phone
Hemingway Fencing LLC is Teddy Hemingway, a small crew, and a yard on Ammons Loop. No franchise, no call centre, no sales rep who has never dug a hole.
Fence work learned the long way
Teddy came up on job sites where a straight line was a matter of pride and a leaning gate was something you heard about for years. That is still how the company runs: measure the run, set the posts properly, and do not leave a yard you would not want to look at from your own porch.
Marion County keeps things honest. Sandy stretches near the river want a different post depth than the clay uphill, an old plat can put a boundary somewhere the hedge does not, and a gate placed a foot too narrow will annoy someone with a trailer for the next twenty years. Those are the details worth talking about before anyone quotes a price.
So the first visit is a conversation on the property, not a pitch at your kitchen table. You get a plain recommendation, a number that accounts for what the lot actually is, and one person to call if something needs adjusting later.
Four habits we do not trade away
Corners first
Corners, gates, and grade get settled before material is ordered. Changing your mind is cheap at that stage and expensive later.
Depth over speed
Posts go in to depth and get time to set. A fence that leans in year three was rushed in week one.
Clean exit
Offcuts, spoil piles, and old panels leave with the truck. Your yard should look finished, not worked on.
One phone number
Quote, install, and follow-up all go through Teddy. Nothing gets lost between departments because there are none.
