Fence Company in Mount Vernon, NY
Privacy and security fencing for Fleetwood, Chester Hill, and Mount Vernon's close-knit city blocks.
City Fencing, Done Properly
Mount Vernon is a real city — four square miles, dense blocks, homes close together from Fleetwood down to the south side. Fencing here is about two things above all: privacy and security. A well-built six-foot fence transforms a Mount Vernon backyard from an exposed gap between houses into private outdoor space, and a locked gate adds a layer of security that matters to every homeowner we talk to.
Know the Line Before You Build
On lots this close together, property lines are measured in inches and fences sometimes become arguments. We don't let that happen: every Mount Vernon install starts from your survey, with the line flagged before a single hole is dug. If a shared fence with a neighbor makes sense, we'll set it on the line with written agreement from both sides — otherwise we build fully inside your boundary, no ambiguity.
Strong, Low-Maintenance Materials
For privacy on a city lot, vinyl leads: solid panels, locking gate hardware, and a surface that cleans with a hose. For front yards in Fleetwood and Chester Hill where character counts, cedar and ornamental aluminum both deliver. And if your existing fence took winter damage, our repair crew resets posts and re-hangs gates without a full replacement.
Permits in Mount Vernon
The city requires permits for most fence work, with different height allowances for front and rear yards. We prepare the application, include the survey, and build to the approved plan — so the inspection is a checkbox, not a surprise.
We also work in neighboring Pelham, Bronxville, and Yonkers. For decks, visit the Mount Vernon deck & fence page or call (914) 775-9272.
Mount Vernon Fencing FAQ
Can a fence really improve security on a Mount Vernon lot?
Yes — a solid six-foot fence with locking gate hardware removes the easy sight lines and easy access that opportunistic intruders look for. It also clearly defines the property, which matters on close-set city blocks.
How do you avoid property-line disputes with neighbors?
We start from your survey and flag the boundary before digging. Shared fences go exactly on the line only with both owners' written agreement; otherwise we build fully inside your property. Getting this right up front is far cheaper than moving a fence later.
What's the most durable low-maintenance option for a city backyard?
Vinyl privacy fencing — solid panels, no painting, cleans with a hose, and modern systems handle freeze-thaw winters well. It's what we install most in Mount Vernon backyards.
Does Mount Vernon require a fence permit?
Most fence work in the city requires a permit, and allowed heights differ between front and rear yards. We handle the application and the survey documentation as part of every job.
