Huntsville HOA & neighborhood guidelines

Most planned communities in Huntsville have Architectural Review Committees (ARC) that must approve fence projects. Here's what you need to know:

HOA approval process

  • Submit application to your ARC with survey/site plan
  • Include fence material, style, height, and color
  • Show proposed fence line on property plat
  • Get approval in writing before installation

We help prepare HOA submittals with professional drawings and specs.

Master-planned community with comprehensive HOA and strict architectural review. Expect specific requirements on fence style, materials, and placement. Board-on-board wood and black aluminum are commonly approved.

Jones Valley & Blossomwood

Jones Valley includes Piedmont and Greenwyche subdivisions, each with their own covenants. Blossomwood has a mix of historic and new construction with varying HOA requirements by section.

No HOA? Check anyway

Even without an HOA, your property may have deed restrictions. Review your closing documents or contact Madison County Probate for recorded covenants before installation.

Local considerations for Huntsville fences

Rocky limestone soil

Many Huntsville properties have rocky limestone soil that affects post installation. Our crews use proper equipment and techniques for setting posts in rocky conditions without compromising fence stability.

Mountain terrain

East Huntsville near Monte Sano has significant grade changes. We plan stepped or racked fence sections to follow your terrain while maintaining structural integrity and clean sightlines.

Humidity & wood care

North Alabama humidity means proper wood treatment matters. We use quality treated lumber and offer stain/seal packages to protect your investment from moisture, mildew, and UV damage.

Fence options that work well in Huntsville

Privacy fence layout

Wood privacy

Wood privacy fencing is popular in Huntsville for backyard separation, pets, and everyday privacy. Board-on-board or shadowbox styles can be tailored to your lot lines and gate needs. If approvals are required, we can provide the details commonly requested for height, materials, and gate placement. We plan post depth and transitions so the fence stays straight and secure across changing terrain.

Pool-safe aluminum fence

Aluminum

Aluminum is a strong fit for Huntsville when you want clear sightlines with low maintenance. It works well for front-facing areas where you want a clean look without blocking views. Panels can be stepped or racked to handle grade changes common across many properties. If an HOA has style requirements, aluminum often checks the boxes for appearance and consistency.

Chain link yard fence

Chain link

Chain link is a practical option in Huntsville when you want durability and value. It is a good baseline for pet containment and larger yards, and it can be upgraded with vinyl coating or privacy slats. It adapts well to uneven ground where other styles can require more custom transitions.
