A Message From the Owner

The Commercial Fence Company Trusted Throughout Tennessee Since 1958

Founders of Rio Grande Fence Company

We appreciate you considering Rio Grande Fence Co. of Tennessee to perform work for your business, construction company, government agency, or sports facility. I would like to share more about why you should choose to work with us.

My grandfather, Lee Roy Smith, pictured above, co-founded our company in 1958 with his brother, Virgil Smith. My grandfather grew the business through his dedication to clients and by always treating others how he would want to be treated. 65 years later, RGF is still owned and operated by my family with my father, Michael Smith, and myself continuing the legacy of service. Thank you for the opportunity to share more about our company. We're eager to serve you on your commercial project. I personally promise you will have a great experience working with us.
