I started Rutherford Rent-A-Fence in 2011 because I got tired of seeing job sites left exposed after dark. One night sticks with me: a $50,000 excavator got stripped for parts after the previous fence crew left the perimeter loose on a Friday. That kind of loss doesn’t happen because somebody had bad luck. It happens because the fence wasn’t set right, the gate wasn’t secured, and nobody walked the line before they left. That’s the part I’ve never taken lightly.
We work Smyrna every week, and I know how this town has grown around the Nissan plant and the neighborhoods that followed it. From the Historic Depot District to Smyrna Heights, the Lowry Street Corridor, the Lee Victory Recreation Park Area, and Hazelwood, job sites sit close to traffic, foot paths, and busy edges where people test weak spots. That’s why we build our setups like they’ve got to hold up to real use, not just look good from the curb. We use
chain-link panels in Smyrna Heights,
emergency fencing near the Lowry Street Corridor, and
temporary gates in the Historic Depot District when the site needs controlled entry fast.
I’m Javier Melendez, and I’ve stayed hands-on with this work because fencing lives or dies on the details. I hold AFA Certified Fence Professional training and OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety Certification, and I’ve learned that the right setup depends on what the ground gives us, how the wind moves through the lot, and how much traffic a fence line has to take. If we’re near Lee Victory Recreation Park, we think about visibility and pedestrian movement. If we’re on a rough construction pad, we think about footing, gate swing, and how to keep a panel from walking overnight. That’s why we offer
zero-trip-hazard setups in the Lee Victory Recreation Park Area,
wind-load resistance in Hazelwood, and
site-theft prevention guidance for Smyrna jobs.
Here’s what matters to me when we show up:
- We walk the perimeter before we unload so we know where the weak ground and traffic pinch points sit.
- We place gates where crews actually enter, not where they look neat on paper.
- We secure corners, bases, and mesh tension because loose fence turns into a liability fast.
That’s the whole point of our work. It’s not just a fence, it’s the only thing standing between your job site and a lawsuit. If you need us on a property in Smyrna, TN, we’ll talk straight, size up the site, and build it like it has to stay put through the weekend.
