Hazelton Fencing Company Serving Hazelton, Idaho
Hazelton sits in Jerome County. It is about 4 miles east of Eden. Settlers first came to the area in 1905. The town grew from the same irrigation project that brought water to this part of the Magic Valley. It was named for Hazel Barlow, an early settler.
Today, Hazelton is still a farm town at heart. The Hazelton Community Hall hosts local events. Hazelton Days brings the town together each year with parades and games.
Most properties here sit close to working farmland. That shapes almost every fence project we do in the area.
Residential Fence Options for Hazelton Homes
Hazelton has a small but steady mix of in town homes and larger rural lots. We install fencing to fit both:
- Vinyl fencing in privacy or picket styles. Backyard fences are usually 6 feet tall. Front yard fences are often 4 feet. Vinyl costs about $35 to $60 per linear foot installed.
- Wood fencing in cedar or pressure treated pine. Styles include solid privacy, dog ear, and picket. Wood costs about $28 to $45 per linear foot installed.
- Chain link fencing for pets, pools, and side yards. It comes galvanized or vinyl coated. Chain link costs about $18 to $30 per linear foot installed.
- Aluminum and ornamental iron fencing for a decorative look or extra security. This costs about $40 to $75 per linear foot installed.
Every post gets a concrete footing. We size it to the fence height and the soil. Gates get strong hardware. This includes galvanized or stainless screws and self closing hinges where safety matters.
Fencing for Hazelton Farms and Ranches
Jerome County is known for dairy farms and irrigated cropland. Hazelton sits right in the middle of that farmland.
Most rural fencing jobs here support real working ground. We install post and rail fencing to mark property lines.
We install woven wire, also called field fence, for general containment. We install high tensile smooth wire and five strand barbed wire for livestock. Electric fencing is also an option. It costs less up front but needs more upkeep.
Typical pricing looks like this. Electric fencing runs $2 to $4 per foot installed. Five strand barbed wire runs $3 to $6 per foot. High tensile smooth wire runs $4 to $7 per foot. Woven wire field fencing runs $5 to $9 per foot.
Bigger jobs sometimes need brush or sagebrush cleared first. That can add $1,500 to $4,000 to the total cost. Some soil in this area has alkali in it. That soil sometimes needs special concrete additives to keep posts steady over time.
Gate Installs and Fence Repairs in Hazelton
We install swing gates and slide gates. This includes single gates, double gates, and cantilever slide gates. We also add automatic gate openers for driveways or larger properties.
Our repair work covers the most common problems. This includes rotten posts, cracked vinyl panels, gates that will not latch, and bent chain link.
We always fix the real cause of the damage. A quick patch that skips this step tends to fail again within a year or two.
Steps We Follow for Every Hazelton Fence Project
Every job starts with a free on site estimate. We look at your property first. Then we give you a written quote before any work begins.
Idaho law requires an 811 utility locate before we can dig. This usually takes three business days. We build that wait into the schedule from day one.
Permits and Height Rules
Idaho sets a baseline height for a lawful fence at four and a half feet. Most fences around Hazelton are built taller than this for privacy or containment. Height limits and permit rules depend on your exact property.
Jerome County sets many of these rules for areas outside city limits. We suggest a quick check with the county building department before you finalize plans. This matters most for fences near a road or a shared property line.
Post Depth for Local Soil
Soil around Hazelton is mostly farmland, built up by decades of irrigation. This kind of ground still needs the right post depth to hold a fence steady. A good rule in this part of Idaho is to set posts below the frost line. Posts set too shallow tend to lean after a few cold winters. Our crews check the soil on site. We adjust the footing depth and concrete amount for each job.

Hazelton Fence Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a fence cost in Hazelton, Idaho?
Cost depends on the material and the length of the fence. Vinyl runs $35 to $60 per linear foot. Wood runs $28 to $45 per linear foot. Chain link runs $18 to $30 per linear foot. Aluminum and ornamental iron run $40 to $75 per linear foot. Farm fencing ranges from about $2 to $9 per foot depending on the type. A free estimate will give you an exact number for your property.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Hazelton?
It depends on the height and location of the fence. Taller fences and fences near a road or corner lot are more likely to need a permit. Jerome County handles most permit questions for this area. We can help you check before the project starts.
What fence works best for a dairy or livestock property near Hazelton?
It depends on the animal and your budget. Woven wire gives strong, general containment for most livestock. High tensile wire is a durable, lower maintenance option. Barbed wire costs less up front and works well for cattle. Electric fencing works well as a backup or for rotating pastures.
How deep are fence posts set near Hazelton?
Post depth depends on the fence height, the material, and the soil. As a general rule, posts should sit below the frost line. This helps stop leaning after winter. Our crew checks the soil at your property and picks the right depth for that spot.
Can you match an existing fence line on a Hazelton farm?
Yes. We can extend or repair an existing fence line to match its height, material, and style. This is often cheaper and faster than replacing an entire fence when only part of it needs work.
