Why Choose Arlington Fencing Pros

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.

Common Questions

In Arlington County, fences in the front yard are generally limited to 4 feet in height, while side and rear yard fences can typically be up to 6 feet. Fences adjacent to a corner lot or within sight triangles near intersections may have additional restrictions. Your fencing contractor should check Arlington County zoning requirements for your specific address before installation begins.
Arlington County does not require a permit for most residential fences that comply with zoning height limits and setback rules. However, you should still verify with Arlington County's Zoning Office for your specific address, as some overlay districts and historic areas have additional requirements. Even without a permit, the fence must comply with county zoning ordinances.
Vinyl fencing in Arlington typically lasts 25–40 years with minimal maintenance — it won't rot, warp, or need painting, and it holds up well against Virginia's humidity and seasonal temperature swings. Quality vinyl is UV-stabilized to resist color fading from Northern Virginia's summer sun. It costs more upfront than wood but saves significantly on maintenance over the life of the fence.
The most reliable way is to hire a licensed surveyor to locate and mark your property corners — plats and neighborhood estimates are often inaccurate enough to cause real problems. Many Arlington homeowners have discovered their assumed property lines were off by several feet only after installing a fence. Starting with a survey protects you and helps avoid disputes with neighbors or the county.
Chain link fencing is typically the most affordable option in Arlington, running $10–$20 per linear foot installed depending on height and gauge. Wood fencing costs more but is still budget-friendly compared to vinyl or aluminum. If cost is the main driver, a contractor can walk you through the trade-offs between upfront price and long-term maintenance for each material.
