Fence Company in Fargo, ND

Vinyl, wood, chain link and ornamental fencing, built to Fargo’s height and setback rules.

Most people who call us in Fargo are not building their first fence. They are replacing one that leaned, lifted or split apart after a few winters, and they want to know what will be different this time.

The answer is almost always below ground. Frozen valley clay expands and pushes concrete upward, so posts set in shallow pads work loose season by season. We drive ours below the frost line into stable soil, which is what keeps a line straight long after the second or third winter.

Vinyl, wood, chain link and ornamental, for homes and businesses across Fargo. We also offer fence repair. Tell us about your property and you will get a written quote covering materials, layout and cost. See how we install.

Permits, height limits, property lines, pool barriers and long-term durability under Fargo and North Dakota conditions.

Do I need a permit for a fence in Fargo?

In general the City of Fargo does not require a permit unless the fence will be more than 6 and a half feet tall. Commercial work and unusual situations can differ. The Inspections Department confirms requirements for a specific address.

How tall can a front yard fence be in Fargo?

No taller than 3 feet anywhere in front of the home. It can go up to 4 feet if you can see through it, such as chain link. Corner lots carry additional requirements, covered in the City’s Residential Fence Requirements handout.

How close to the property line can I build a fence in Fargo?

The City recommends keeping the fence about 2 feet back from the property line so both sides can be maintained without going onto a neighbor’s property. The City does not survey lot lines.

Do I need a fence around a pool in Fargo?

Private swimming pools holding water more than 24 inches deep must be surrounded by a fence or barrier at least 48 inches tall, set at least 4 feet from the outside of the pool. Gates must be self-closing and self-latching.

Are the fence rules in Fargo the same as in Grand Forks?

No. Fargo sets the permit threshold at 6 and a half feet and limits front yard fences to 3 feet, or 4 feet if see-through. Grand Forks uses different limits. Confirm the rules with the city where the property sits.

What is the best fence for privacy in Fargo?

Vinyl and wood privacy fences are the most common choices. Vinyl offers a clean look with low maintenance, while wood provides more design flexibility. Because of the front yard height limit, privacy fencing in Fargo is generally a back and side yard solution.

Do you offer fence repair in Fargo?

Yes. In Fargo a leaning fence is usually a below-ground problem: frozen valley clay pushes shallow concrete upward and the posts work loose. The City recommends keeping a fence about 2 feet back from the property line so both sides can be maintained without going onto a neighbor’s property. That space also makes repairs easier. See our fence repair page for how the work is done.
