Fence Services in Watertown
Fence Installation
Complete fence installation planned around your property line, grade and New England frost.
Wood Fences
Cedar privacy and picket fences fit Watertown's Colonials, Capes and two-family homes. Board-on-board styles work well on the narrow shared lines common in town.
Vinyl Fences
Vinyl privacy fences are a popular low-maintenance choice for Watertown landlords and homeowners with small backyards.
Aluminum Fences
Ornamental aluminum for front yards, pool enclosures and corner lots, with a powder-coated finish that resists winter road salt.
Chain Link Fences
Black vinyl-coated chain link for backyards and dogs, and galvanized chain link for commercial and industrial properties along the Pleasant Street and Arsenal Street corridors.
Fence Repair and Gates
Being nearby makes us a practical call for repairs: leaning posts, broken boards, storm damage and gates that drag or will not latch.
Fencing for Watertown Homes
Two-Family Homes and Tight Lots
Much of Watertown is made up of two-family homes on narrow lots with shared driveways. We confirm property lines, plan gate locations around driveways and help owners choose fences that work for both units.
Homes Near the Charles River
Properties near the river and low-lying areas can have wet soil, which makes post drainage and depth even more important to prevent frost heave. Work near wetlands or resource areas may also involve the Conservation Commission.
A Growing Town
Developments such as Arsenal Yards and new construction across town have brought new homeowners who need fences for privacy, pets and kids. We also work with builders and property managers on new projects.

Fence height and placement in Watertown are set by local zoning and reviewed by the town's building department, with pool fences held to state barrier rules of at least 48 inches. Properties with historic significance may involve the Watertown Historical Commission. We check the requirements for your address and request Dig Safe markings before any digging.

| Dog in the yard | Black vinyl-coated chain link or privacy fence |
| Business along Pleasant Street or Arsenal Street | Galvanized chain link or aluminum perimeter |
Common Fence Problems in Watertown
Frost Heave in Wet Soil
Lower areas toward the Charles River can hold water, and wet soil heaves more when it freezes. We set posts deeper and use footings that drain.
Fences Squeezed by Driveways
On narrow lots, fences often run right along a driveway and get hit by cars and snowplows. We recommend stronger posts at driveway corners and materials that recover well from bumps.
Aging Stockade Fences
Many Watertown yards still have old stockade fences that are rotting at the base. If the posts are gone, replacement is usually the better value; if only boards are damaged, a repair can add years.
