Privacy, pets, pool safety, curb appeal or a property boundary each point to different materials and heights. Take the Fence Style Quiz for a recommendation, or explore options in the Design Studio.
HOA planning help
Many Charlotte-area neighborhoods require architectural approval before a fence goes up. We provide the material, height, style and layout details your application usually asks for. Approval decisions are made by your HOA.
Materials we install
Every project is built in one of the four fence materials we install. Each one has its own page with styles, heights and colors.
Permits, HOA rules and utilities
Under our Terms & Conditions, permits required by municipalities or counties are handled by Fences & Firepits. HOA approval is the homeowner's responsibility, and we help you prepare the details for your application. Utility locates are requested before posts are set. Private lines such as irrigation, invisible pet fences and low-voltage lighting are not marked by 811, so please tell us about them.
Backed in writing
Installations include a 2-year limited workmanship warranty covering defects in installation workmanship, such as improperly set posts or structural instability caused by installation error. Materials are covered by their manufacturers' warranties. See our Warranty page for the full terms and exclusions.

One local team from estimate to final walkthrough
When you hire Fences & Firepits, the person who walks your yard is Ron, and the people who build your fence are our own in-house crew. We do not hand jobs off to subcontractors. Fences & Firepits is licensed and insured, and every installation is backed by our 2-year workmanship warranty. Homeowners across Mecklenburg, Union and Cabarrus counties choose us because they know exactly who is responsible for the work.
Picking the right fence for your home
Most residential projects come down to four questions: what the fence needs to do, what your HOA allows, how much maintenance you want and what fits your budget. Privacy and pets usually point to wood or vinyl privacy. Pools, views and front yards usually point to black aluminum. Large lots and budget-focused projects often use chain link or split rail with welded wire. Many homes combine two materials, such as privacy near the house and an open fence along the back.
- Pets and kids: 6-foot wood or vinyl privacy, or aluminum with puppy pickets
- Pools: black aluminum with self-closing gates
- Views and front yards: aluminum or picket
- Large lots: split rail with welded wire or chain link
Replacing an old fence
Many homes around Charlotte, Matthews, Pineville and Stallings have original fences that are leaning, rotting or missing boards. When we replace a fence, we scope removal of the old fence as part of the estimate, check whether existing posts or the fence line should be reused or reset, and install the new fence on solid footing.
Property lines, surveys and utilities
Knowing where your property line is protects you from disputes with neighbors. If you have a recent survey or plat, share it with us. If the line is unclear, a survey is the safest step. Before any digging, utilities are located through NC 811, and we plan post locations around marked lines.
What to expect on installation day
Our crew arrives with materials, confirms the layout with you, and starts by setting posts. Depending on the fence type, length and terrain, many residential fences are completed in a short window once installation begins. Before we leave, we walk the fence with you, check every gate and latch, and clean up the work area.
