Green Acres installs wood, vinyl, aluminum and chain-link fences for homes and businesses in Wilmington and New Castle County. We measure the yard, confirm the rules for your address, set posts that hold, and hang a fence that matches how you will use the yard.
As a Wilmington fence company, we handle new installations and fence repair, and we can build gates, pool enclosures and runs that follow slopes.
Pick by what you need the fence to do, then by upkeep you are willing to do.
| Material | Look & privacy | Upkeep | Lifespan | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wood | Natural look, solid privacy styles, fully custom | Stain or seal on a regular schedule | Shortest of the four unless maintained | Privacy, custom heights and styles |
| Vinyl | Clean, uniform; privacy and picket styles | Wash occasionally; no painting | Long | Low-maintenance privacy |
| Aluminum | Open, ornamental; spear-top pickets | Almost none; will not rust | Long | Pools, front yards, security with a view |
| Chain-link | Open, utilitarian | Very little | Long | Pets, commercial lots, budget-conscious runs |
Ask about financing for larger fence projects.
Rules for fences are set locally, so New Castle County towns and subdivisions differ. Many require a permit or approval for fences over a certain height or in front yards. Setbacks from the property line, corner-lot sight lines, pool barrier requirements and HOA covenants can also apply.
We confirm the requirements for your address before building. A property survey or plat is the best way to show where your line sits, and we ask you to confirm it before posts go in.
We measure, talk through height, material and gates, and note slopes and obstacles.
You get a written quote, and we confirm permit and HOA needs.
Utilities are marked, the line is staked and posts are set.
Panels, pickets and gates go up and are checked for level and swing.
We clean up and review the fence with you.
“Two years ago Green Acres beautifully hardscaped well over an acre of our property, installing boulder walls, multiple large paver patios, decorative stone pathways, rock stairways built into a hillside, both metal and cedar fencing and an outdoor fireplace.”
“They did a great job and we are very happy with the work as well as the professionalism of the team.”
Recent reviews from homeowners, HOAs and property managers, pulled live from our Google Business Profile.
Many municipalities and HOAs require a permit or approval, especially for fences over a certain height, front-yard fences and pool enclosures. Requirements differ by town, so there is no single answer for the county. We check the rules for your address and can help you with the application.
Setbacks vary by municipality, subdivision and fence type, and some towns allow fences right at the line while others require space. Know where your line is before building, and a survey or plat helps. We confirm local setbacks and HOA covenants before we set a post.
Vinyl and aluminum last longest because they resist rot and rust. Aluminum never needs paint or stain, and vinyl only needs washing. Wood is the shortest-lived of the four options unless it is sealed or stained on a regular schedule, but it is the most customizable. Chain-link is durable and low maintenance.
Total length is the biggest factor, followed by height, material, number and style of gates, slope, tree roots or rock that slow digging, removal of an old fence, and permit costs. Privacy styles use more material than open ones. We price per project after measuring the yard.
Yes. We repair leaning, damaged or worn fences, including replacing boards, resetting or replacing posts, and fixing sagging gates. If a fence is past the point where repair makes sense, we will say so plainly and quote a replacement so you can compare both options.
Mark or confirm your property lines, check HOA rules, and let us know about pets, sprinkler lines, and anything buried that we should avoid. We have utilities marked through 811 before digging. Moving items away from the fence line and keeping gates accessible speeds the work.
