Farm & Field Fence that suits Lincoln properties.
Around Lincoln, farm and field fence has to do a job: hold livestock, mark a line, and survive equipment traffic without constant repair. Established neighborhoods replacing 20+ year-old fence, plus rural properties on the edge of town. Flat Logan County lots, wide streets, and a lot of long side-yard runs. We build woven wire, high-tensile, barbed, and split-rail systems sized to the animal and the acreage rather than to a catalog.
How we build it here
We drive posts rather than augering wherever the ground allows — driven posts hold better in Logan County soil and go in far faster on long runs. Heavy but workable clay; we gravel-base posts here to keep water off the concrete collar. Corners and ends get H-braces or double-H braces sized to the pull, wire is stretched with a proper strainer, and gates are framed for the width of the equipment that actually uses them.
Rate depends on the run — clean, open ground moves several hundred feet a day per crew.

What Lincoln customers say.
“Tazewell County Fence Co. installed woven wire fencing around part of our property, along with a large equipment gate. They explained the different post options, gave us a clear estimate, and helped us choose something that fit our budget. The fence looks strong and everything was completed professionally.”
“We needed a long stretch of affordable fencing for our pasture. They helped us compare T-posts, wood posts, and different wire options before we made a decision. We appreciated that they focused on durability without pushing us toward the most expensive option.”
“Our project involved several fence runs, uneven ground, and multiple gates. They took the time to understand how we use the property and recommended a practical layout. The finished fence works well for our land and stayed within the budget we discussed.”
Farm & Field Fence questions from Lincoln homeowners.
- How much does farm fence cost per foot near Lincoln, IL?
- Agricultural fence around Lincoln typically runs $6–$18 per linear foot installed, depending on the system. Barbed and high-tensile sit at the low end; woven wire with wood posts and split rail sit at the high end. Brush clearing, creek crossings, and brace count move the price.
- What fence is best for horses versus cattle?
- Horses do best behind woven wire with a top rail, no-climb mesh, or coated high-tensile — anything that won't cut if an animal leans or panics. Cattle are usually fine with barbed or high-tensile at the right height and spacing. Tell us the animals and we'll spec the system.
- Do you clear the fence line first?
- Yes. Around Lincoln most replacement runs need old wire pulled, brush cut, and volunteer trees removed before we can set a straight line. We quote clearing as its own line item so you can see exactly what it costs.
- Do I need a permit for agricultural fence?
- Lincoln requires a city fence permit; alley-facing rear lines need the property pin located first.
