How it all began

History of Highland Fence Company

In 2017, Stuart decided to leave the rat race, embrace his passion, and work for himself. Armed with a pickup truck and a back seat full of tools, he worked hard to build a business. In late 2018, Stuart’s wife, Melissa McNeal, joined him on the job site, and for two years, the two of them worked hard to make backyard dreams a reality for families all across Baton Rouge. What started out as a self-employed endeavor called LAC Woodworking, is now the growing, thriving, small business, Highland Fence Co. Stuart and Melissa are now blessed to have a crew who are polite, hardworking, and do exceptional quality work, allowing them to focus on customer service, sales, and company growth.

What do you do with the old fence?

Our demolition price includes the removal of the old fence, as well as hauling it off of your property and properly disposing of it.

We do not leave it stacked in your yard or in front of your house for any great length of time.
