Every fence is installed by our own crews and planned with you on site.

Why Charleston Homeowners Choose Decorative Fencing
Most fences are built to keep something in or out. A decorative fence also has to look right from the street. It frames the house without hiding it, gives the yard a finished edge and adds curb appeal that buyers and neighbors notice.
The right decorative fence depends on your home. A black aluminum fence suits brick and traditional homes. A white vinyl picket fence suits cottages and farmhouse styles. A painted wood picket fence gives a classic neighborhood look at a lower starting price. We’ll bring samples of each to your estimate so you can see them against your home.

Black aluminum fencing is by far the most popular decorative fence choice in Charleston. A black aluminum fence delivers the elegant look of traditional wrought iron with zero maintenance required. The powder-coated black finish comes in dozens of styles — from classic spear-top to modern flat-top. Vinyl picket fencing is also popular for front yards and garden borders.
Can a black aluminum fence also provide security?
Absolutely. Many of our black aluminum fence designs include security features such as spear-top finials, anti-climb picket spacing, and self-closing/self-latching gates. A black aluminum fence can be both beautiful and functional as a security barrier, combining decorative appeal with real property protection.

How long does decorative fence installation take?
Most residential decorative fence installations are completed in 1-3 days depending on the length and complexity. Custom wrought iron projects may take longer due to fabrication time. We provide a specific timeline during your free estimate and keep you updated throughout the process.
Will a decorative fence increase my home's value?
Yes. A quality decorative fence is one of the highest-ROI exterior improvements you can make.
