Heartwood Fence and Paint

It was the spring of 1988. Bill Fischer and his cousin Jim Brulport, my father, started hauling horses from Northern Kentucky down to Eastern Kentucky to Jenny Wiley State Park stables to start offering trail rides and pony rides. I joined them in June of that summer to help with the horses. However, they knew this was a seasonal business and had already been thinking of what to do come fall time, and that would be the start of Heartwood Fence.

​

When they started out, they would cut their own cedar and hedge apple for posts. They did a lot of barbed and woven wire back then. However, my father Jim’s fence career only lasted a few years due to injuries.

​

While he moved on to be successful in real estate, Uncle Billy would continue fencing with a couple of other guys, and I would officially join him in the summer of 1995. A few years later, I became a partner. Uncle Billy would continue to fence until the day he died (exact date).

​

Today, and for the last 30 years, I still continue to fence and take pride in every job — just like those before me. Now with my son and daughter, we hope to be a part of your fencing project.
