Fence options that work well in Madison

Privacy fence layout

Wood privacy

Wood privacy fencing is popular in Madison 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 Madison 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 Madison 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.

New construction neighborhoods

Madison's rapid growth means many new subdivisions. If your home is newly built, verify your builder didn't install temporary property markers that differ from actual survey pins.

New developments have extensive underground utilities. Always call 811 before digging. We coordinate utility locates as part of every installation.

Terrain & drainage

Town Madison and Clift Farms areas have varying terrain. We plan post depth and fence transitions to handle grade changes while maintaining proper drainage flow.
