LOCAL FENCE PLANNING

A fence that fits life on the island.

Some yards need privacy from the road or a neighbor. Others face the marsh, where an open fence makes more sense. We’ll help you work through those choices, whether you’re enclosing a backyard, adding gates, replacing a fence, or planning a commercial project.

For waterfront and marsh-front yards, we look beyond the property line. Docks, changes in ground level, wet spots, and the way you move through the yard all affect the layout. Salt air also belongs in the conversation when choosing materials, finishes, hardware, and ongoing care.

  • Keep the view: consider open pickets where you want to see the marsh, with privacy fencing where you need more screening.
  • Plan for pets: look at fence height, picket spacing, gaps near the ground, and anything a dog could use as a jumping-off point.
  • Keep access practical: place gates for the dock, lawn equipment, and the routes you use every day.
  • Check the ground: review soft or wet areas, drainage, and grade before settling on the fence line and post installation.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

Let’s work through the details.

If your neighborhood has an HOA, bring its fence guidelines. We can provide the proposed style, height, color, gate locations, and layout for your submission. HOA approval remains the homeowner’s responsibility.

We confirm the applicable local permit requirements and handle the required fence permit for our installation. On a marsh-front property, we also need to review the proposed placement, available survey information, and any questions about easements or marsh boundaries before work starts.

REAL OWENS PROJECTS

A look at our Whitemarsh Island work.

Every yard has its own priorities. This featured installation brings together room for two dogs, access to the dock, and an open marsh view.

WHITEMARSH ISLAND · ALUMINUM

Room for the dogs, with the marsh still in view.

For this home, we installed about 100 feet of 5-foot black aluminum picket fence along the marsh edge. The goal was to enclose the yard for the owner’s two dogs while keeping the view open.

The dock needed a different approach. Its wooden boardwalk sits about 4 feet above the ground, giving a dog standing on it a head start over a 5-foot fence. We used 8-foot panels beside the dock to address that jump-over spot, with one walk-through gate onto the boardwalk.

That’s why we look at the yard and dock together when planning a fence for pets.

WHITEMARSH ISLAND FENCE FAQ

Questions about your fence?

What kind of fence works well for a marsh-front yard?

Start with what you want the fence to do. Open aluminum pickets can define the yard while keeping the view open. Wood or vinyl may suit areas where privacy matters more. We’ll look at the layout, pets, ground conditions, and any HOA requirements with you.

What should I consider about salt air?

Ask about the fence finish, gate hardware, and recommended care for the material you choose. Coastal exposure is part of that conversation. We’ll help you compare options and understand the upkeep before you decide.

Can you plan a fence around a dock and dogs?

Yes. We look at the yard and dock together, including the height of the boardwalk, spaces under the fence, picket spacing, and gate placement. A dog standing on a raised dock starts much higher than a dog in the yard, so the fence needs to account for both.

What if the ground near the marsh is wet or soft?

Tell us which areas stay wet or collect water. We’ll review those spots, the grade, and access during the site visit before recommending a fence line and post installation approach. Marsh-edge placement also needs to be checked before work starts.

Can you help with HOA questions?

Yes. We can provide the proposed material, height, color, gate locations, and a layout for your submission. You handle HOA approval, and we confirm the applicable local permit requirements for our installation. Bring any community fence guidelines to the estimate.
