Fence Company Savannah GA | Wood, Vinyl & Aluminum Fences

Professional Fence Installation in Savannah, GA

Savannah is our home base — the city where Savannah Gate and Fence built its reputation one backyard at a time. We’ve installed fences in nearly every Savannah neighborhood, from the historic squares of downtown to the newer developments south of DeRenne Avenue. We know the clay soil conditions that make post-setting tricky, we understand which historic districts require design approval, and we’ve worked with homeowners throughout the city’s most established and up-and-coming neighborhoods alike.

Whether you’re looking to add privacy to a backyard in Ardsley Park, install an aluminum fence around a pool on the Isle of Hope, or secure a commercial property on Abercorn Extension, we bring the same quality to every project in the city.

Savannah Neighborhoods We Serve

We install fences throughout all of Savannah, including:

  • Ardsley Park / Chatham Crescent — One of Savannah’s most beloved historic neighborhoods. Wood and aluminum fences are popular here; we’re familiar with the neighborhood’s character and typical lot configurations.
  • Starland District / Thomas Square — An artsy, revitalized midtown corridor with a mix of older bungalows and renovated homes. Privacy fences for backyards are common requests in this area.
  • Isle of Hope — This scenic bluff community along the Skidaway River has some of Savannah’s most distinctive homes. Pool fencing and decorative aluminum are popular here.
  • Historic District / Downtown — Savannah’s iconic squares and landmark architecture come with fence regulations. Any fence visible from the street in a National Historic Landmark district may require review. We’re experienced navigating these requirements.
  • Midtown Savannah — The stretch along Abercorn Street from DeRenne to Stephenson Avenue includes a mix of residential and commercial properties. Both privacy and commercial security fencing are common projects in this corridor.
  • Georgetown — A large south Savannah community with established neighborhoods and active HOA activity. We regularly install wood and vinyl privacy fences in Georgetown’s subdivisions.
  • Coffee Bluff — A quiet, waterfront community in southwest Savannah. Properties here tend to be larger, and we often install combination perimeter fencing for both privacy and security.
  • Thunderbolt — The marina community on the Wilmington River just east of Savannah. Salt air exposure is a real factor here — we recommend vinyl or powder-coated aluminum for longevity.

Fence Considerations Specific to Savannah

Historic District Regulations

Savannah’s Historic District is one of the largest urban National Historic Landmark Districts in the country. Within certain boundaries, the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) has design guidelines governing fences and walls. Generally, fences in front yards visible from the street in historic districts must be appropriate in material and height to the historic character of the neighborhood. Wood picket, wrought iron, and brick are typically appropriate; tall solid wood privacy fences may not be permitted in some locations. We can advise on what’s typical for your specific block, though we always recommend confirming with the MPC before starting any project in a designated historic area.

Coastal Climate and Soil

Savannah’s humid subtropical climate means summer heat, tropical storms, and heavy rainfall — all of which affect fence materials and longevity. Wood fences are the most popular choice in Savannah, but pressure-treated lumber is essential due to soil moisture and termite pressure. Cedar is a premium alternative with natural resistance to rot and insects. In neighborhoods closer to the marsh or water — Isle of Hope, Coffee Bluff, Thunderbolt — we generally recommend vinyl or aluminum over wood due to increased salt air and moisture exposure.

Savannah’s clay-heavy soil can expand and contract with moisture changes, which affects post stability. We account for this in how we set posts, using appropriate concrete mixes and depths to prevent heaving or leaning over time.

HOA Requirements

Many Savannah neighborhoods and subdivisions — particularly newer ones south of town — have active HOAs with specific fencing rules. These typically govern fence height (usually 6 feet maximum in rear yards, 4 feet in front), approved materials, and sometimes approved colors. We work with Savannah homeowners to ensure their fence project meets HOA requirements before installation begins.
