Your Local Town ’N Country Fence Contractor
Town ’N Country (33615 / 33634) is a dense, established residential area west of Tampa, built out decades ago with smaller lots and tighter property lines than the newer subdivisions further north. Since it's unincorporated Hillsborough County rather than inside Tampa city limits, fence permitting here runs through the county building department — a distinction that catches a fair number of homeowners off guard when they call the wrong office first.
A lot of what we do in Town ’N Country involves aging fences that have outlived their usefulness — sagging chain link, rotted wood posts, panels that have taken one too many storm seasons. We inspect before we quote, because on plenty of these older properties a repair genuinely is the smarter call, not just the cheaper-sounding one.
Fence Services We Offer in Town ’N Country
- Chain link fences — budget-friendly perimeter fencing

What Makes Fencing Different in Town ’N Country
Compared to the newer, HOA-governed communities further north in Hillsborough County, Town ’N Country has almost none of that architectural review overhead — most properties here have far more flexibility in material and style. What it does require is more care around property lines, since older subdivisions weren't always surveyed with the precision that newer developments use, and neighboring fences have sometimes shifted over decades. We also see more landlord and rental-property fencing requests here than in some of the other communities we serve, which shapes toward practical, durable, lower-cost materials rather than decorative upgrades. Several pockets of the neighborhood sit near drainage canals, where recorded easements can restrict exactly where a fence is allowed to go, so we check for those before finalizing any layout.
Local Roads, Neighborhoods & Landmarks
Town ’N Country is framed by Hillsborough Avenue, Memorial Highway, and Sheldon Road, with Waters Avenue marking its northern boundary, and the northwest portion of Tampa International Airport actually extends into the community's footprint. Named neighborhoods include Bay Crest Park, Countryway, Rocky Creek, and Sweetwater Creek. Before the 1950s this area was mostly cattle farmland; the LaMonte-Shimberg Corporation bought a 525-acre dairy farm here in 1958 and built nearly 8,000 single-family homes and townhouses across the community over the following two decades, which is a big part of why so many of the fences we replace here are original to homes built during that boom. The population grew from around 19,000 in 1970 to nearly 86,000 by 2020 — a fully built-out, established community today rather than one still expanding outward.
Repair-or-Replace Decisions on Older Fences
A lot of the fence lines we look at in Town ’N Country are somewhere between fifteen and thirty years old, which puts them right at the point where a homeowner has to decide whether another round of spot repairs is worth it. Our rule of thumb: if the posts are still plumb and solid when we push on them, and the damage is limited to a handful of boards or a section of chain link mesh, repair almost always wins on cost. Once we start finding multiple rotted posts, especially near the ground line where Florida moisture does the most damage, the math flips, because you'd otherwise be paying for repeated repairs to a fence that's failing structurally rather than cosmetically. We walk homeowners through exactly what we're seeing on their specific fence rather than giving a generic answer, since two fences of the same age can be in very different condition depending on how they were originally built and what they've been exposed to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Town ’N Country is unincorporated Hillsborough County, not part of the City of Tampa, which means fence permits here go through the county’s building department rather than the city’s. We handle that distinction so you don’t have to figure out which office to call.
Yes, replacing a worn-out fence on an established property is one of our most common calls in this neighborhood. We inspect what’s there first and tell you honestly whether a repair or full replacement makes more financial sense.
Chain link remains the most budget-friendly option per linear foot, which matters more on properties where you’re fencing a full perimeter rather than just a backyard. Pressure-treated wood is a close second if you want more privacy for a similar price range.
We recommend one, especially on older, established lots where property lines aren’t always where a homeowner assumes. Setting posts even a foot over a line can create a dispute with a neighbor down the road, so we work from a survey whenever one is available.
Yes, we regularly work with landlords and property managers here who want durable, low-cost fencing — usually chain link or basic wood — that holds up to tenant turnover without a large upfront investment.
Some properties near drainage canals or retention areas have easements that limit exactly where a fence can be placed. We check for any recorded easement on your property before finalizing a layout.
A standard residential chain link or wood fence usually goes up in one to two days once posts are set and any required permit is approved.
Yes, we carry general liability insurance and provide documentation before our crew arrives at your property.
Often yes — if the posts are still sound, replacing damaged panels or chain link sections is usually the more cost-effective route than a full teardown and rebuild.
A clean, well-maintained fence line is a visible improvement buyers notice, particularly replacing a visibly aging fence, though the return depends on the buyer and the rest of the property’s condition.
A short call or online form gets a site visit scheduled, usually within a few days. We measure the property, discuss material options, and follow up with a written estimate.
