Fences and Privacy Screens Designed Together in New Albany

Designing Around Front and Back Yard Rules

Like many towns, New Albany generally treats front yards differently from back and side yards, with lower, more open fences expected out front and taller privacy fencing allowed behind the house. Corner lots may have sightline limits near intersections. We verify the current rules for your address before finalizing a design, so you are not asked to cut a new fence down later.

Distinctive Fence Styles

• Picket or aluminum front-yard fencing that frames the house
• Board-on-board or horizontal wood privacy in back
• Vinyl in white, tan or wood-grain finishes
• Custom gates with arches, hardware accents and keyed locks

Where Privacy Screens Fit In

Screens are short, freestanding or attached walls that block a specific view. They work well beside a patio or hot tub, around AC units and trash cans, or on top of a deck. We build them from the same materials as your fence so everything matches. A privacy screen can also stand in for a full fence where rules or budget make a perimeter fence impractical.

How a Project Comes Together

1. A free visit to measure, mark the fence line and note where screens are needed
2. A written estimate showing materials, heights and gate locations
3. Rule checks, permits if required and a utility locate
4. Post setting and curing, followed by panels, screens and gates
5. Cleanup and a final walk of the fence line with you

Repairs and Maintenance

We fix leaning posts, broken boards and sagging gates, and we can stain or seal an existing wood fence to extend its life. Seasonal checks after storms catch small problems before they spread.
