Estate Perimeters
Fence Installation in Bloomfield Hills, MI
Bloomfield Hills is a city of large, wooded estate lots on winding roads off Woodward, Long Lake and Lone Pine, with Cranbrook at its center. Fence work here is measured in hundreds of feet: perimeters through trees, entry gates at the drive and pool enclosures that have to look as good as the house.

ESTATE FENCE SYSTEMS
Perimeter, Pool and Gate Systems for Large Lots
On an acre or more, material choice is about how the fence reads across distance and through trees. These are the four we install most here.
Estate Standard
Ornamental Aluminum
Black, Spear or Flat Top
The default for long estate perimeters and pool enclosures. It reads as a fine black line through the trees, keeps views open and never rusts.
Heights:
4ft to 6ft
Finish:
Black or bronze
Gates:
Arched, pool-code
Best For:
Perimeters, pools
Wrought-iron look, no rust
Screening
Cedar Privacy & Split-Rail
Board-on-Board, Post-and-Rail
Board-on-board cedar screens a terrace or service yard; split-rail or post-and-rail traces a long frontage without closing it off.
Heights:
3ft to 6ft
Wood:
Western Red Cedar
Styles:
Board-on-board, rail
Best For:
Terraces, frontage
Natural with wooded lots
Clean Lines
Premium Vinyl
Woodgrain and Tan Tones
A maintenance-free privacy option for pool equipment areas, side yards and tennis or sport-court edges where staining every few years is a chore.
Heights:
5ft to 6ft
Colors:
Woodgrain, Tan, White
Rails:
Aluminum reinforced
Best For:
Service and side yards
Never needs staining
Deer & Dogs
Black Chain Link
Vinyl-Coated, Taller Heights
Inside the tree line, black chain link becomes almost invisible. It is the practical way to keep deer out of gardens or contain a dog across a large back acreage.
Heights:
4ft to 8ft
Finish:
Black vinyl coat
Use:
Inside tree lines
Best For:
Deer, large dogs
Disappears in the woods

BUILDING ON ESTATE LOTS
What a Bloomfield Hills Estate Fence Really Takes
Large wooded lots change the job. Runs of several hundred feet are common, the ground rolls, and the line has to weave between mature oaks, ravines and landscape beds. We walk the full perimeter, flag every tree and grade break, and plan whether panels step or rack to follow the land. Materials are staged so heavy equipment does not cross lawns or irrigation. Entry gates are often the centerpiece, so we pair arched aluminum driveway gates with steel-stiffened posts that hold them square for decades.
Bloomfield Hills is a separate city from the surrounding Bloomfield Township, and each has its own building department and rules, so we confirm which one covers your address. Front-yard and frontage fencing is typically restricted; most Metro Detroit cities limit front-yard fences to about 3-4 feet, and we confirm your lot's requirements before quoting. Every post goes 42 inches deep in concrete, which matters more on long runs where one heaved post shows across the whole line.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Bloomfield Hills Fence Questions
Straight answers for estate owners and property managers.
What is the most common fence for a Bloomfield Hills estate?
Black ornamental aluminum for perimeters and pools, often paired with an arched driveway gate. Cedar board-on-board screens terraces and service areas, and black chain link handles deer and dogs inside the tree line.
Is my property in the City of Bloomfield Hills or Bloomfield Township?
Many Bloomfield Hills mailing addresses are in Bloomfield Township, which has its own building department. We confirm the jurisdiction and file with the right office.
Can you keep deer out of my gardens?
Yes. We build taller black chain link or aluminum enclosures around gardens and orchards, placed inside the tree line so they stay out of sight from the house.
How do you build on wooded, sloped land?
We flag trees before design, hand-dig near roots, and step or rack panels to follow the grade. Aluminum racks especially well on rolling ground.
Can a long perimeter be built in phases?
Yes. Many owners fence the pool and backyard first and add frontage or side perimeters later. We price each phase separately so the materials match when you continue.
