The Standard for Quality Fences in Hilliard
We build fences the right way, every time. Just quality work from craftsmen who take pride in every post and every satisfied
customer.
Decorative Metal
We build aluminum fences that secure your property with elegant style, zero rust, and minimal maintenance—perfect for pools and front yards.
Vinyl Fencing
No painting, no staining, no hassle—our vinyl fences give you clean, consistent boundaries that look great year after year with minimal upkeep.
Heavy Clay Soil Experts
Our fence installation techniques account for Hilliard's high clay content soils, preventing the tilting and sagging common after wet-dry cycles in poorly installed fences.
Drainage-Conscious Design
We understand Hilliard's poor natural drainage (affecting nearly 65% of land area) and design fence installations that accommodate water flow through swales and drainage systems.
Color-Compliant Installation
We're familiar with Hilliard's unique requirement that all fences must be a neutral color, ensuring your fence meets both aesthetic and code requirements.
Front Yard Regulation Know-How
Our fence contractors understand Hilliard's strict prohibition on front yard fences, helping you design alternatives that comply with local code while meeting your needs.
Local Craftsmanship
We appreciate Hilliard's growth from railroad hub to thriving suburb and design fences that complement neighborhoods from the historic Norwich Street district to newer developments.

Hilliard maintains specific fence regulations that every installation must follow:
Permit Process:
- Applications submitted through Hilliard's online OpenGov portal
- Fence contractors must register with Hilliard as General Contractors
- Plans/drawings must show property dimensions, exact fence height, location, length, material type, construction type, and building locations
- Property lines must be verified by survey drawing, marked corners, or neighbor approval
Height Restrictions:
- Front yards: No fences permitted (except invisible fences)
- Side and rear yards: Maximum 6 feet
- Ground clearance: All fences must extend to ground or have bottom panels no higher than 6 inches above ground
Material Restrictions:
- All fences must be neutral color (white, tan, light gray, light brown, or similar)
- Finished side with no exposed posts/supporting elements must face outward
- Prohibited types: Barbed wire, stockade, basket weave, electric, razor wire, concertina wire, solid plywood, scrap lumber, common concrete, cinderblock
Special Considerations:
- Location restriction: Fences only permitted in rear and side yards, not past the build-to line of the main structure
- Drainage swales: Must leave 6 inches clearance at bottom if fence crosses a swale
- Cannot encroach upon public easements
- Drainage easements require prior approval of city engineer
- Only one style of fence/wall permitted per property line
The Fence Boys manage your entire Hilliard fence installation project, from permit application to final approval.

Easy to work with, great results
Cody was friendly and easy to work with in deciding what was best for our yard. Colt and his crew were friendly, efficient and did a great job building our fence.

Blended right in with our existing fence
Great communication throughout, and they really knew the best way to approach my project. The installers were friendly, efficient, and did beautiful work - they even matched the style and sizing to my existing fencing so it blends in perfectly.
