Fence Installation & Repair services in St. Paul
St. Paul is the state capital and the seat of Ramsey County, and much of its housing is older than what you find across the river. Summit Avenue and the Historic Hill area are lined with Victorian homes, and several parts of the city are local heritage preservation districts where exterior changes can need review before work starts. That shapes fence design: ornamental steel and aluminum that echo old iron work suit these blocks better than a tall solid panel at the sidewalk. The Mississippi River bluffs cut through the West Side, Highland Park and Dayton's Bluff, so many yards slope hard and need stepped or racked sections. St. Paul also has alleys behind a lot of its houses, which means a rear gate wide enough for bins or a car is a common request. We set posts below frost depth so winter heave does not tip the line.

Permits and local rules
Saint Paul requires a fence permit for any new fence. The city's fence page limits front yard fences to four feet and side or rear yard fences to seven feet. Near a corner, fences in the sight triangle are held to two feet unless they are more than 80 percent open. Inspections apply to fences over seven feet, swimming pool fences and barbed wire. Barbed wire is not allowed on residential property.
