Fence Haven, a family-owned fence installation company founded in June 2025, has earned 250 Google reviews with a 5.0 average rating in its first year of business. The company hit the 250 mark this month. Every review on its public Google listing rates the work at five stars.
The pace has picked up as the year has gone on. The listing showed 185 reviews in April 2026 and stands at 250 as of July 24, an increase of 65 reviews in about three months. The 5.0 average has not moved. Measured from the company's June 2025 opening, the total works out to roughly one new review every other day.
Reviews carry particular weight for a company this young, since homeowners comparing contractors have little else to go on. A fencing business that opened last June has no decades-old reputation to lean on. Much of its early work has come one neighbor at a time: homeowners spot a Fence Haven yard sign on a finished fence near their own property and call the number on it. Word-of-mouth referrals from the area's dog owners have followed the same route.
Owner Logan Tharp attributes the ratings to operating decisions made at the company's founding, not to any single project. Fence Haven runs estimates on weekends, when homeowners are home to walk the yard. Partner Juan Aranda picks up the phone directly, with no call center or answering service in between, and Tharp works installations himself rather than managing crews from a distance.
The company is just as specific about how its fences get built. Before digging starts, the company coordinates utility marking so buried lines are located and flagged. Crews set posts in high-PSI concrete, a stronger mix rated to handle more pressure per square inch, which keeps posts from loosening as the ground settles. Every installation comes with a two-year workmanship guarantee.
Fence Haven also designs most of its fences around pets. About 80% of its customers are dog owners, and the team plans each layout from the dog's perspective. Before the first post goes in, they check for gaps under panels, sharp edges and likely escape routes. The approach shows up in the company's tagline, "All Dogs go to Fence Haven."
Three people run Fence Haven. Tharp worked six years for an established local fencing company and ran a landscaping business before that. His father, Jayme Tharp, has spent decades in fence design, sales and customer service, and Aranda, a Knoxville native, handles customer communication. The company installs vinyl, ornamental aluminum, wood, ranch rail and chain link fencing for residential and commercial customers across the Knoxville, Farragut and Maryville area. Most residential projects wrap up in two to four days.
"When you're the new fence company in town, every job is an audition," said Logan Tharp, owner of Fence Haven. "People took a chance on us before we had much of a track record, and those reviews are the same people telling the next family it worked out. And honestly, a rating like this doesn't let anyone relax. It resets the standard for the next yard we walk into."
