Do I need a permit to build a fence in Grand Rapids?

Yes, Grand Rapids and Kent County regulations typically require a permit. We handle all the zoning paperwork for properties in the city and across West Michigan to ensure strict local compliance.

What is the best type of fence for Michigan weather?

For Michigan's climate, vinyl and aluminum are top choices as they resist our harsh winters. Chain link is also highly durable. Wood is great for homes if properly maintained.

How deep do you dig fence posts in West Michigan?

We always dig below the frost line, but we adjust specifically based on the local soil. We ensure your fence won't lean after the spring thaw.

What is the best material for a residential fence?

The best material depends on your needs. Vinyl offers zero maintenance and a lifetime warranty, wood provides a classic look and is cost-effective, while aluminum offers elegant security without blocking views. Chain Link is your best bang for your buck, as it is the longest lasting, most time-tested product you can get.

How long does a residential fence installation take?

Most residential fence installations are completed within 1 to 3 days, depending on the size of the yard, the material chosen, and weather conditions.

Do I need a permit for a residential fence?

Yes, most municipalities in West Michigan require a permit for fence installation. We handle all the necessary permitting and zoning checks for your project.

How tall can my residential fence be?

Most local codes allow backyard privacy fences up to 6 feet tall. Front yard fences are typically restricted to 3 or 4 feet depending on the city.

Do I need a survey to do a fence?

A survey is not required, but strongly encouraged. Protecting every inch of the property you pay tax on is our goal at Pro Fence. If survey stakes are not planted and obvious we will always do our best to go by your specifications. But a survey is always in your best interest and goes a long way toward resolving and avoiding neighborly disputes over property lines.

See what our customers have to say about their experience with Pro Fence Grand Rapids.

Great company. We worked primarily with Dakota. He is extremely thorough. When he initially gave the consultation he was very up front about ensuring we were compliant with township rules and ensuring we knew all possible risks. During the construction the team was incredibly nice and professional, were careful to keep the yard as clean as possible and provided regular updates. Most importantly the fence looks great

10/5 STARS!!!! My opinion! Great family owned company and all of the workers are great and respectful! First off I must say that I got a hold of the owner, Ray, instantly when I called. The customer service I received was excellent and they were so polite, responsive and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend using this company. They are worth EVERY DIME!!

Stacey Ellsworth

Blackstone Ext (Pro Fence) exceeded all our expectations. We had a specific idea for fencing in the back yard. They listened, improved the idea and provided multiple options for us to choose from. The crew worked through the frozen ground, winter snow and into the dark of night to finish the project- and it turned out great and looks terrific.
