BUILDING A FENCE IN WESTLAND
Why Westland Fences Go Up Fast (and How to Make Them Last)
Westland's postwar subdivisions were laid out on a grid of flat, similar-size lots, so most backyards need 150 to 250 feet of fence with one walk gate and sometimes a wide gate for a mower or trailer. That simplicity is why the build itself is usually a single day. What makes it last is underground: every post goes 42 inches deep in concrete, below the frost line, so Westland's heavy clay cannot heave it out of line.
Many lots back up to another yard with an existing fence, so we check whose fence is whose before tearing anything out. 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 of the area on our Wayne County page.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Westland Fence Questions
Quick answers for Westland homeowners.
What is the best dog fence for a Westland backyard?
Solid vinyl privacy if your dog barks at movement or squeezes through gaps; chain link with a bottom tension wire if you want the most strength per dollar. Both are set on 42-inch footings.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Westland?
Yes, the city building department reviews fence projects. We prepare and file the permit.
How long does it take to install a fence in Westland?
Most Westland backyards are built in one day after permit approval. Larger lots or several gates can add a day.
Can I attach my new fence to my neighbor's fence?
Only with their permission. Usually we end our run with its own post next to theirs so each fence stands on its own.
Do you remove the old fence?
Yes. Removal and haul-away are priced as their own line on the quote.
