Fence Contractor Services in Marietta
Whether you’re off Lower Roswell, Powers Ferry, Delk Rd, or near Whitlock Ave, we tailor fence layouts to setbacks, easements, and corner-lot sight triangles. Historic homes near the Square may need a design review before work starts.
Fence installation
New backyard privacy fences are common off Lower Roswell Rd, Powers Ferry, and Delk Rd. We stake corners, confirm utilities/easements, and keep corner-lot visibility clear near schools and busier intersections.
Fence repair
Storm and wind events can loosen older pine posts and rails, especially around Whitlock and Lee’s Crossing. We reset posts for red-clay movement and replace pickets to match existing styles.

Upgrading aging split-rail or stockade fences in East Cobb and Fair Oaks? We swap in HOA-approved styles, improve footing depth for clay soils, and tidy line adjustments for better yard use.

Cypress and cedar hold up well through Marietta’s humid summers. Shadowbox and board-on-board styles are favored near Kennesaw Mountain for airflow while maintaining privacy.

Along Franklin Gateway and the Delk Rd corridor, vinyl fences are popular for rentals and townhomes due to low maintenance, clean lines, and HOA-friendly colors.

Great for dog runs and play areas near local parks; black vinyl-coated chain link blends with Marietta’s tree canopy and reduces glare along property lines.

Marietta Fencing, Deck, and Railing FAQ
Do I need a permit for a new fence in the City of Marietta, and are there different rules in the Historic District?
Many residential fences in Marietta proceed without a full building permit, but location, height, and corner-lot visibility rules still apply. Properties in the Historic District near Marietta Square may need a Certificate of Appropriateness—especially for front-yard fences or porch railings. We’ll flag when design review is required and prepare drawings that fit district guidelines.
What is the maximum fence height allowed in Marietta for front, side, and rear yards—especially on a corner lot?
Front yards are typically limited to shorter heights (often 4 ft), while side and rear yards commonly allow up to 6 ft. Corner lots must keep visibility triangles open near driveways and intersections, which can affect panel placement and gate swing. We verify your parcel’s zoning, setbacks, and sight-line requirements before layout.
How does Marietta’s red clay and sloped terrain near Kennesaw Mountain affect fence post depth and cost?
Expansive red clay benefits from deeper post embedment, gravel bases for drainage, and larger diameters on gate posts. Sloped sites can need stepped or racked panels and occasional retaining elements. These details add materials and labor but pay off with straighter lines and fewer post-heave callbacks.
Can you install aluminum pool fencing that meets Marietta and state pool barrier codes?
Yes. We build to Georgia and local pool barrier standards, including height, picket spacing, climb resistance, and self-closing, self-latching gates with approved latch heights. Aluminum is a common choice near Sope Creek and the Chattahoochee NRA thanks to durability and grades that follow the terrain.
Do you work with East Cobb/Marietta HOAs (e.g., Indian Hills, Windsor Oaks) to get fence and railing approvals?
We routinely coordinate with HOAs across East Cobb and Marietta—submitting spec sheets, finish colors, and site sketches to align with architectural standards. We’ll match approved styles (e.g., shadowbox wood, aluminum pool fencing) and keep records tidy for a smoother review.
