Landscaping & Property Improvements
Fences & Gates
Aluminum, privacy and decorative fences and automatic gates, built to property lines, HOA requirements and pool barrier needs.
Overview
A fence defines the property, provides privacy and security, and often serves as a pool barrier. Getting it right starts with knowing where the property line is, what your HOA and local rules allow, and what the fence has to do – contain pets, screen a view, meet pool barrier requirements or secure a commercial site.
We plan fences and gates with the survey, landscaping and hardscape, choose materials suited to Florida weather and coastal exposure, and coordinate permits and approvals. Automatic gates add electrical and safety requirements, which we coordinate with licensed electrical partners and the gate supplier.

Materials, design options & upgrades
How pricing works
Fences are normally priced by linear foot of fence, based on material, height and style, plus gates, removal of existing fencing and site conditions. Automatic gates are priced as a separate line item including the operator, electrical work and safety devices.
What changes the cost
- Fence length, height and material
- Number and type of gates
- Automatic operator, electrical work and controls
- Removal of existing fence
- Soil conditions, rock and roots affecting posts
- Grade changes along the fence line
- Pool barrier requirements
If this work is part of a larger project, it’s priced within that project’s budget — please don’t add separate estimates together. Read the pricing guide.

Questions & answers
Can my fence be part of my pool barrier?
Often, yes. A pool barrier fence must meet requirements for height, openings and self-closing, self-latching gates. We confirm the requirements with your building department during design.
Do I need a survey before building a fence?
A survey is strongly recommended so the fence is placed on your property and outside easements where restricted. Many HOAs and building departments ask for one with the application.
What fence materials last near the coast?
Powder-coated aluminum with a coastal-grade finish, vinyl and composite resist salt air well. Hardware and fasteners should also be corrosion-resistant.
