Arlington Fence Pros — Connecting Homeowners with Licensed Fencing Contractors

Installing a fence in Arlington, VA is not the same as installing one in a suburban subdivision. Arlington's urban density, historic neighborhoods, and strict county regulations make fencing a more involved process — and choosing the right contractor from the start is the difference between a smooth installation and a costly delay.

Arlington Fence Pros is a free referral service that matches Arlington homeowners with licensed, local fencing contractors who understand the county's specific requirements. We do not send you a list of random names. We connect you with vetted professionals who have worked in Arlington's neighborhoods and know how to handle the paperwork, the neighbors, and the tight spaces.

Why Choose Arlington Fence Pros

We Know Arlington's Permitting Requirements

Arlington County requires permits for most residential fencing projects. That means submitting plans, identifying your property lines, and waiting for county approval before a single post goes in the ground. Many homeowners are caught off guard by this step. The contractors we work with are experienced with Arlington's permitting process and handle the application and follow-up on your behalf.

Neighbor Coordination Is Part of the Process

In a dense urban county like Arlington, a fence on your property line is a fence that sits inches from your neighbor's yard. Before installation begins, responsible contractors notify adjacent property owners — and in some cases, their cooperation is required. Our contractors know how to handle neighbor communication professionally, reducing the chance of disputes or complaints that stall a project.

Historic Neighborhoods Have Specific Requirements

Several Arlington neighborhoods fall under design review guidelines that restrict fence height, materials, and appearance. Areas near the Maywood, Lyon Village, and other historic districts may require additional approval. The contractors in our network are familiar with these overlay requirements and can advise you before you commit to a material or style.

Property Line Verification Before Installation

Fences built on the wrong side of a property line have to come down — at the homeowner's expense. Our contractors take property line verification seriously, working from your survey or coordinating with Arlington County records before setting footings. This step protects you from a costly mistake.
