Farm & Field Fence that suits Pekin properties.
Around Pekin, farm and field fence has to do a job: hold livestock, mark a line, and survive equipment traffic without constant repair. A wide mix — older homes replacing tired chain-link, plus newer builds out toward Veterans Drive. Flat river-terrace lots downtown, with steeper grade in Sunset Hills and along the bluff streets. 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 Tazewell County soil and go in far faster on long runs. Heavy clay that holds water — we over-dig and gravel-base posts so they don't heave or rot early. 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 Pekin customers say.
“We had a chain-link fence installed for our backyard and dogs. Communication was easy, the pricing was reasonable, and the finished fence looks great. They also made sure the gates opened smoothly and were placed exactly where we needed them.”
“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 Pekin homeowners.
- How much does farm fence cost per foot near Pekin, IL?
- Agricultural fence around Pekin 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 Pekin 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?
- Pekin issues residential fence permits through the city; corner-lot sight-triangle rules matter on a lot of these blocks.
