Fence Haven, a family-owned fencing company in Knoxville, has grown quickly among East Tennessee homeowners by designing fences around one priority: keeping dogs safe. Founded in June 2025 by Logan Tharp, the company has completed hundreds of residential and commercial fencing projects across the Knoxville metro area in under a year.
Dog owners make up roughly 80% of Fence Haven's customer base. Before recommending materials or layout, the company walks the property with the homeowner and checks the yard from the dog's perspective — where the animal could dig out, what edges could cause injury, whether the gate latches hold. That walkthrough covers grade dips along the fence line where a dog can nose under a panel, corners where repeated pressure can work a post loose over time, and gate clearances that appear secure to a person but leave enough room for a determined dog to push through or squeeze past. Material and layout decisions are made only after that assessment is complete. That approach has helped the company earn a 5.0-star Google rating from 185 verified homeowner assessments in under a year of operation.
Fence Haven installs vinyl privacy fencing, ornamental aluminum fencing (a rust-resistant alternative to traditional steel), wood and ranch rail fencing, chain link, and commercial enclosures. Vinyl and aluminum are the most common choices for residential dog enclosures — vinyl for privacy and full panel contact with the ground, aluminum for visibility and a finished look along property lines. Ranch rail is common for larger rural properties where containment covers acreage rather than a backyard perimeter. The crew coordinates permits and marks utilities before breaking ground on every project. Most residential jobs are finished in two to four days, though larger commercial enclosures and multi-section privacy installations may take longer depending on terrain and permitting requirements. The company also offers financing through Hearth, which allows homeowners to compare monthly payment options before committing to a project.
Logan Tharp founded the company after six years with an established Knoxville fencing contractor. His father, Jayme Tharp, brings decades of fencing industry experience in design and sales. Juan Aranda, a Knoxville native and Farragut High School graduate, answers customer calls directly and schedules estimates on weekends for homeowners who can't meet during the week. The three-person leadership team handles every project from the initial property assessment through the final walkthrough, and every installation includes a two-year workmanship guarantee. That guarantee covers material defects and installation failures, and any callback is handled by the same crew that built the original fence rather than a subcontractor brought in after the fact.
"We got into this because too many dog owners in Knoxville were getting fences that looked fine but didn't solve the problem," said Logan Tharp, Owner of Fence Haven. "A fence that lets your dog dig under it or squeeze through a gap isn't doing its job. We design every project around the dog first, and that's what keeps people calling us back."
