Fence Installation in Farmington Hills, MI
Farmington Hills is mostly subdivision living: wooded lots off 12 Mile, Halsted and Orchard Lake Road, ravines along the Rouge River branches, and HOAs with their own fence rules. We prepare the association packet, file the city permit and build to a standard your board will sign off on.

SUBDIVISION-READY MATERIALS
What Farmington Hills HOAs Typically Approve
Association rules vary by subdivision, but these four materials cover nearly every approval we file here. Open any one for heights, colors and gate options.
HOA Favorite
Vinyl Privacy Fencing
Tan, White & Woodgrain
Uniform color and no staining schedule make vinyl easy for boards to approve. Aluminum-reinforced bottom rails keep long runs straight across a deep subdivision backyard.
Heights:
5ft to 6ft
Colors:
White, Tan, Khaki
Rail:
Aluminum reinforced
Best For:
Backyard privacy
Spec sheet for your HOA
Pool Barrier
Ornamental Aluminum
Pool-Code Gates Available
Many Farmington Hills backyards have in-ground pools. Black aluminum with self-closing, self-latching gates gives a code-compliant barrier and keeps the view of the woods behind the house.
Heights:
4ft to 5ft
Gates:
Self-closing, latching
Finish:
Black powder coat
Best For:
Pools, open views
Rust-free around pool water
Natural Look
Cedar Wood Fencing
Board-on-Board & Shadowbox
Western Red Cedar blends into wooded lots and older colonials. Board-on-board gives full privacy from both sides, which matters when the neighbor sees the back of your fence.
Heights:
4ft to 6ft
Wood:
Western Red Cedar
Styles:
Board-on-board
Best For:
Wooded lots
Good side faces both ways
Rear Lot Lines
Vinyl-Coated Chain Link
Black or Green Mesh
Where an HOA allows it, black or green coated chain link disappears against tree lines and ravines and secures a big dog yard for far less than solid panels.
Heights:
4ft to 6ft
Finish:
Black, green
Use:
Along woods, ravines
Best For:
Dogs, large lots
Blends into tree lines

BUILDING IN FARMINGTON HILLS
HOA Approvals, Ravines and Big Backyards
The deciding factor in Farmington Hills is usually the homeowners association, not the material. Many subdivisions specify allowed styles, colors and heights, and some limit fences to the rear yard or require them to stay a set distance off the back lot line. We read your deed restrictions, prepare a packet with a plot drawing, spec sheet and color sample, and file the city permit only after the board approves, so nothing gets built twice.
Lots here are larger than in the older inner suburbs, often with woods, ravines or a branch of the Rouge River at the back. That means long runs, grade changes and wet low spots. We step panels on slopes, set every post 42 inches deep in concrete and keep posts clear of drainage swales. Most Metro Detroit cities limit front-yard fences to about 3-4 feet; we confirm your lot's rules before quoting. Pool owners should start with our aluminum fencing page.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Farmington Hills Fence Questions
What homeowners ask before fencing a subdivision lot.
Do I need HOA approval for a fence in Farmington Hills?
If your subdivision has an association, almost certainly. We prepare the packet with a plot drawing, spec sheet and color sample, and we file the city permit after the board approves.
What fence do Farmington Hills HOAs usually allow?
It varies by subdivision, but vinyl privacy in a neutral color, cedar board-on-board and black ornamental aluminum are the styles we see approved most. Some associations restrict chain link.
Can you build a fence along a ravine or wooded back line?
Yes. We step panels down slopes, hand-dig where roots or access require it and keep posts out of drainage swales so water keeps moving.
What does a pool fence in Farmington Hills need?
Pool barriers need a minimum height, limited gaps and self-closing, self-latching gates. We build to the residential pool barrier code and confirm specifics with the city before quoting.
How long does a fence project take in Farmington Hills?
Plan on two to four weeks from measure to finished fence when HOA review is involved. The build itself is usually one to three days.
