About Snead's

Expert Silt Fence Contractors in Denton, NC

Snead's Outdoor Services started with our owner, Chris Snead, who grew up in the landscaping and power equipment business alongside his father. He took to running machinery early, and once he graded his first plot of land on his father's tractor he was hooked — that is where this company came from.

We are still a small outfit and we like it that way: the person who walks your site is the one setting the fence. It gets trenched in rather than staked on top, so it holds when the rain comes, and we pull it when the job is done.

Our Silt Fence Process

From the first call to the finished job, here is how a silt fence install runs from the first walk-through to the day it comes out.

Free On-Site Estimate

We come out and look at the site, the slope and where the sediment is going, so the fence goes where it will actually do something.

Silt Fences in Lexington, North CarolinaAt Snead’s Outdoor Services (SOS), we’ve been helping customers in the Lexington, North Carolina area tackle their outdoor projects for years. One of the most valuable but underappreciated services we’re able to provide is silt fence installation, which is an important step for controlling sediment and water runoff along slopes or disturbed soil areas. If you’ve recently started a project that involves tasks like grading, excavating, or other dirt work, silt fences are a major asset that help protect your property and the surrounding environment.

Silt fences are commonly used around:

  • Construction sites
  • Landscaping and grading projects
  • Roadwork and infrastructure projects
  • Anywhere that soil has been disturbed or is at risk of erosion

We understand how crucial silt fences are, and we take great care to ensure they are properly installed for optimal performance. They don’t function like a sieve – rather, they work to slow down runoff and allow sediment to settle out behind the fence while the now cleaner water passes through the fabric. It’s a delicate process that requires careful and accurate planning to achieve the desired results. Poor installation is one of the biggest reasons why silt fences fail, which is why we take extra care to ensure we get the job done right the first time.

Without proper erosion control, loose soil can quickly wash away during rainstorms, leading to environmental damage, regulatory fines, and project delays. With our help, you can protect your property from this kind of damage and keep your project on track.

If you need dependable erosion control for your project, our team is ready to help. Contact us at SOS today to learn more about silt fences or to discuss whether they are necessary for your property.


At Snead’s Outdoor Services, we offer silt fences to customers throughout Lexington, Denton, Thomasville, Asheboro, Mooresville, Lake Norman, Winston-Salem, Salisbury, Davidson, Cornelius, and Concord, North Carolina.

Silt Fence FAQs

Answers to the questions we get asked most about silt fence work in Davidson County and central North Carolina. Anything not covered here, call us on (336) 596-5573.

How much does it cost?

Every site is different, so there is no honest flat rate to quote. We come out, look at the job in person and give you a straight number before anything starts — free, and with no obligation to use us.

Why do I need a silt fence?

To keep your site's sediment on your site. Once ground is disturbed, rain moves soil off it and into whatever is downhill — a neighbour, a road, a ditch or a waterway. A fence set properly holds it back.

Is it just staked into the ground?

No, and that is the difference between one that works and one that does not. The fabric is trenched in so water cannot simply run underneath it.

Do you take it out when the job is finished?

Yes. We pull the fence and haul it off once the ground is stable and it has done its job.

What equipment do you use?

Caterpillar equipment and other heavy machinery. We are owner-operated, so the person who comes out to quote your job is the one running the machine on it.

What areas do you cover?

We are based in Lexington and work across Davidson County and central North Carolina — Winston-Salem, High Point, Thomasville, Asheboro, Denton, Kernersville, Clemmons, Mocksville, Advance, Salisbury, Concord, Mooresville, Cornelius, Davidson and the Lake Norman area, plus the communities around them.
