Fence Installation in Wixom, MI
Wixom grew fast in the 1990s and 2000s, so much of the city is newer subdivisions off Wixom Road, Pontiac Trail and Beck Road, many with associations, wetlands and common areas behind the lots. Add the industrial parks along I-96 and you get a mix of HOA backyards and commercial perimeters we build every season.

BUILDING A FENCE IN WIXOM
Wetlands, Common Areas and HOA Standards in Wixom
Many Wixom subdivisions were built around ponds, wetlands and open space, so the back of a lot often meets a common area or a protected buffer rather than another yard. Fences usually have to stop at the property line, and wetland edges can limit where posts go. We confirm the line and any buffer before quoting and set every post 42 inches deep in concrete; low, wet ground near ponds is where shallow posts heave first.
The association typically approves style, height and color before the city reviews the permit. We prepare the HOA packet with spec sheets and a site sketch, then file with the city building department. Most Metro Detroit cities limit front-yard fences to about 3-4 feet; we confirm your lot's rules before quoting. More nearby cities on our Oakland County page.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Wixom Fence Questions
Answers for Wixom homeowners and property managers.
Does my Wixom subdivision need to approve my fence?
If you have an active association, almost certainly. Many Wixom neighborhoods limit fence style, color and placement. We prepare the submittal packet for you.
Can I fence up to the pond or wetland behind my house?
Only to your property line, and wetland buffers can limit what is allowed near the edge. We confirm both before quoting and often recommend open aluminum on that side.
Do I need a city permit for a fence in Wixom?
Yes, plan on a permit through the city building department. We file it once your association signs off.
Do you install commercial fencing in Wixom?
Yes. We install chain link perimeters, swing gates and cantilever slide gates for industrial and warehouse properties.
What is the most popular fence in Wixom subdivisions?
Black aluminum at 4 to 5 feet, followed by tan or woodgrain vinyl where solid fences are allowed.
