Residential Fence Installation in Wilmington, DE
Affordable Fence of Delaware installs residential fences for homeowners across Wilmington and New Castle County.
Expert Residential Fence Installation in Wilmington, DE
Residential fence installation in Wilmington takes more planning than most homeowners expect. Properties across New Castle County sit in a mix of older close-set neighborhoods and newer subdivisions, and each comes with its own set of rules. New Castle County code sets a maximum fence height of six feet for rear and side yards, with front yards generally limited to three or four feet. Many neighborhoods in Bear and Hockessin also carry HOA covenants that go beyond county code, so the right style and height matter before a single post goes in the ground. At Affordable Fence of Delaware, we keep the process straightforward. We talk through your yard, your goals, and what works for your property. Our focus is simple: produce great fencing that fits your home and holds up over time. We serve homeowners across Wilmington, Hockessin, Bear, New Castle County, and Sussex County. If you are ready to get a fence installed the right way, reach out to us today.
