BUILDING A FENCE IN WAYNE
Old Lots, Old Fences and the Lower Rouge
A lot of Wayne fence jobs begin with an old fence that is leaning because its posts were set shallow decades ago, or with a property line nobody has checked since the house was built. We locate the line, remove the old fence and reset the run on 42-inch concrete footings so it stays straight through freeze-thaw winters. Mature tree roots get worked around, not chopped through.
Yards that back toward the Lower Rouge River or its parkland can be low and wet, and may carry floodplain or easement limits, so we check before quoting. Fences are reviewed by the city building department, and most Metro Detroit cities limit front-yard fences to about 3-4 feet; we confirm your lot's rules before quoting. See more nearby cities on our Wayne County page.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Wayne Fence Questions
Answers for City of Wayne homeowners.
Do you work in the City of Wayne or all of Wayne County?
Both. This page covers the City of Wayne specifically; we also serve the rest of Wayne County, from Westland and Romulus to Detroit and Downriver.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Wayne, MI?
Yes, plan on a permit through the city building department. We prepare the plot plan and file it for you.
My old fence is leaning. Should I repair or replace it?
If several posts are loose or rotted at the ground, replacement is usually cheaper long-term. If only one or two posts failed, a repair can work. We tell you which at the measure.
Can you build around a big tree on the property line?
Yes. We shift post locations to avoid major roots and leave room for the trunk to grow, rather than cutting roots that can kill the tree.
