Why Plain City Homeowners Choose Fence Boys

Deep Soil Fence Experts

We adapt our fence installation for Plain City's deeply weathered soils that extend 10-12 inches, ensuring your fence remains stable through seasonal changes.

Watershed Protection

Our fence designs respect the Big & Little Darby Creek Watersheds managed by the Union Soil and Water Conservation District, maintaining proper drainage while securing your property.

Amish-Influenced Craftsmanship

We appreciate Plain City's unique Amish heritage that remained until 2011, crafting fences with attention to detail that honors the community's tradition of quality workmanship.

Corner Lot Navigation

We understand Plain City's regulations that classify corner lots as having two front yards, designing fences that maximize privacy while meeting all code requirements.

Local Fence Contractors

Our team recognizes Plain City's growth from historic village to expanding suburb, installing fences that complement everything from established properties to newer developments.

Material Restrictions:

  • Electric fences: Forbidden except on sites of more than 10 acres used to confine livestock
  • Finished side: All fences must present the finished non-structural face outward

Special Considerations:

  • No fence can encroach upon public rights-of-way or easements
  • No placement in platted no-build zones, conservation zones, floodways, floodplains, or drainage easements
  • All portions of property must remain accessible from outside the fence area through gates or openings
  • All fences on a parcel must have a unified style
  • Ground between fence and property line must be well maintained

The Fence Boys manage your entire Plain City fence project from permit application to final installation.

A great experience, start to finish

We had a great experience working with Cody and Colt! Quality materials and craftsmanship and excellent customer service. We couldn't be happier with how the project turned out!

Terrilynn Jackson

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.

Sam Graziano

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.
