Farm & Field Fence that suits Normal properties.
Around Normal, farm and field fence has to do a job: hold livestock, mark a line, and survive equipment traffic without constant repair. University-area rentals, established family neighborhoods, and newer north-side builds. Grid-planned neighborhoods with flat lots and a lot of alley-access rear yards. 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 McLean County soil and go in far faster on long runs. Same rich McLean County loam as Bloomington — fast, clean post holes. 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 Normal customers say.
“We contacted several companies, and Tazewell County Fence Co. gave us one of the clearest and most competitive quotes. They listened to what we wanted and helped us plan the gate locations. The completed wood fence looks clean, solid, and professionally built.”
“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.”
Farm & Field Fence questions from Normal homeowners.
- How much does farm fence cost per foot near Normal, IL?
- Agricultural fence around Normal 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 Normal 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?
- The Town of Normal reviews fence permits against height limits and its corner-lot sight triangle standard.
