Backed By Integrity.

"Same values. Same standard. Now focused entirely on the fences, decks and outdoor structures that define your property."

On any given Tuesday in Franklin, you can spot the trucks before you spot the crews. Elite Property Management has spent years quietly earning the trust of Williamson County homeowners — the lawn mowed on schedule, the boxwoods squared, the retaining wall that finally holds after two other contractors gave up. It is the kind of reputation you cannot buy with a billboard on I-65.

Blake McCarroll knows that. He built it.

This spring, McCarroll launched Elite Fence & Deck Co. — a dedicated build arm of the same company, focused entirely on the vertical work: cedar privacy fences, hardwood decks, pergolas, screened porches, and the outdoor structures that turn a yard into a room. It is a spinoff, but it is not a pivot. The mission on the tailgate is the same one stitched onto the shirts: Built with pride. Backed by integrity.

Why Split The Company?

Ask most contractors why they diversify and you get a spreadsheet answer. Ask McCarroll and you get a jobsite answer: because a fence deserves the same crew that has been walking the property for three years, not a subcontractor who has never met the dog.

"Our customers were already asking us to build," McCarroll says. "They trust us with the lawn, the landscape, the hardscape — the fence and the deck were the natural next step. We didn't want to hand that off. We wanted to own it, end to end."

By separating the build work into its own shop, Elite Fence & Deck can invest in the specialty gear, the material relationships, and the framing crews that a fence-and-deck job actually needs — without diluting the maintenance operation homeowners already rely on.

The Standard On The Board

Walk a McCarroll jobsite and the standard shows up in small places. Post holes dug to depth, not to time. Pickets pre-sorted for grain. A dumpster on the driveway before demo starts. Photos of the property line drawing pinned inside the truck so nobody has to guess.

None of it is glamorous. All of it is what "backed by integrity" actually looks like when there is nobody watching but the framer next to you.

What They Build

  • Cedar, cypress and pressure-treated privacy fencing
  • Board-on-board, shadowbox, and horizontal-plank styles
  • Composite and hardwood decks (Trex, Zuri, Ipe)
  • Covered porches, pergolas and outdoor kitchens
  • Farm and estate fencing across Williamson & Maury counties
  • Repair, restain and rebuild work on existing structures

The Long Bet On Williamson County

McCarroll is not chasing every job in the middle Tennessee sprawl. Elite Fence & Deck's service area follows the crew's roots — Franklin, Brentwood, Nolensville, Thompson's Station, College Grove, Spring Hill — the towns where the same customer might call three times over ten years as a family grows into its property.

"We're not the biggest fence company in the state," he says. "We're the one that's still going to be here when your neighbor asks who did it."
