Fencing in Yelm
Looking for a fence contractor in Yelm? Greg Myers Construction is based in Rainier, about 7 miles away, and Yelm is part of Greg's regular service area. He handles wood privacy fences, farm and horse fencing and gates.
Out here on the South Sound prairies a lot of the work is on acreage — barns, shops, barndominiums and new homes on open ground, where the gravelly soil drains well but the wind comes across with nothing to stop it. Whether you are fencing a backyard in Lacey or several acres of pasture outside Rochester, the real work happens below grade, where nobody looks until a section blows over in a winter storm.
One customer called Greg “a man of integrity.” Another wrote that he “does excellent work.”
What's included
Fencing we do in Yelm
- 01
Wood privacy fences
Cedar or treated board fences for backyards, with a top cap and trim option for a finished look along the street.
- 02
Horse and livestock fencing
Board fence, woven wire and field fence for horses, cattle, goats and sheep, built tight and safe for the animals inside it.
- 03
Walk, drive and farm gates
Gates hung on heavy posts so they swing true and latch for years instead of sagging into the dirt.
- 04
Fence line clearing
Brush, blackberries and old wire cleared out so the new line runs straight and you can reach it for upkeep.
- 05
Old fence removal
We pull the old boards, wire and posts, including the concrete chunks around them, and haul everything away before the new fence goes in.
- 06
Fencing with a new build
When Greg builds your home, barn or shop, the fencing and gates can be scheduled as part of the same project.
Thurston County, WA
Fencing around Yelm
Greg works all over Yelm — near Hammersmith Hill and Solberg Lake — and throughout Thurston County.
Yelm sits on the prairie along the Nisqually River in south Thurston County, with Mount Rainier filling the view to the east. Yelm is about 7 miles north of our base in Rainier, well inside our 100-mile service area.
Western Washington buildings fight water more than anything — months of rain, moss on the roof, rot wherever wood stays wet, and soils that hold moisture. A building lasts when it sits on a proper foundation with drainage around it, is wrapped and flashed right, and is built to dry out.

Questions
Fencing in Yelm: FAQs
Do you do fencing in Yelm, WA?
Yes. Yelm is about 7 miles north of our base in Rainier, well inside our 100-mile service area. Greg handles wood privacy fences, farm and horse fencing and gates there, and the estimate is free.
Do I need a permit for fencing in Yelm?
It depends on the project. When one is needed, Greg pulls the permit from the City of Yelm's building department and builds to whatever the permit and inspection require.
Do you build fences for horses and livestock?
Yes. Horse fencing needs to be easy to see and free of anything that can catch a hoof or a halter, so board fence or no-climb woven wire on solid posts is common. For goats, sheep or cattle, the wire, height and post spacing change with the animal, and Greg builds to what you keep.
How do you know where my property line is?
Greg lays out the fence from your survey pins or a recorded survey and keeps it on your side of the line unless you and your neighbor agree otherwise. If the pins are missing, he will tell you before any posts go in, so nothing is built on a guess.
How do you keep fence posts from rotting in Western Washington?
By keeping water away from the wood. Greg uses ground-contact rated posts, puts gravel under each one so water drains instead of pooling, and crowns the top of the concrete so rain runs off rather than sitting against the post. In heavy clay or a soggy low spot, posts may go deeper or get a different backfill so they don't heave or lean.
How much does a new fence cost?
The price comes down to the total length, the height, the material, how many gates you need, and how much clearing or old fence removal comes first. Slopes and rocky ground also add digging time. Greg's estimates are free and done on site, so the number reflects your actual fence line.
