Fencing for Des Peres's Upscale West-County Homes
Tucked into southwest St. Louis County along I-270 and the Manchester Road corridor, Des Peres is a quiet, affluent suburb known for tree-lined streets, mature landscaping and some of the most desirable real estate in the region. Homes here tend to be larger and exceptionally well kept, set on generous lots that deserve fencing to match. St. Louis Fence Co. installs and repairs premium fences throughout Des Peres — from the neighborhoods near West County Center and Dougherty Ferry Road to the streets surrounding Des Peres Park — and we build every project to the standard these properties call for.
We're based at 5314 Lansdowne Ave in South City, an easy drive out Manchester Road to Des Peres, so a new ornamental fence, a pool enclosure or a repair is never a long haul for our crew. Whether you're defining a larger backyard, screening a patio for privacy, or finishing a property with a clean, upscale look, we'll help you choose the right material and build it to last through Missouri's clay soil and freeze-thaw winters.
Premium Fence Types for Des Peres Properties
On larger, upscale lots, the fence is part of the home's curb appeal — not an afterthought. We focus on materials that look refined, hold up for decades and complement the kind of homes Des Peres is known for.
Ornamental Aluminum
For an elegant, finished look that doesn't block the view, ornamental aluminum fencing is hard to beat. It frames a yard beautifully, suits upscale architecture, and never needs painting or staining — a popular choice for defining larger Des Peres yards and enclosing pools without a heavy, closed-in feel.
Vinyl Privacy & Accent Fencing
When you want full privacy with virtually no upkeep, vinyl fencing delivers a crisp, clean appearance year after year — no peeling paint, no weathering. It's an excellent fit for screening patios, pools and backyard living spaces on properties where presentation matters.
Wood Privacy Fencing
For homeowners who prefer a natural, warm look, a well-built wood privacy fence in cedar or treated pine offers classic appeal and solid screening. We build board-on-board and privacy styles that suit larger lots and stand up to our humid summers.
📍 Easy reach from South City
Our shop sits on Lansdowne Ave, a straight shot out Manchester Road to Des Peres. That means prompt, no-pressure estimates and a crew that knows west-county lots, soils and HOA expectations.
Pool-Code Fencing Done Right
With many Des Peres homes featuring in-ground pools, pool enclosure fencing is one of our most-requested services here. Missouri and local code require pools to be enclosed by a barrier of a minimum height with self-closing, self-latching gates, and the gaps and spacing have to meet specific requirements to keep children safe. We design and install pool fencing — most often ornamental aluminum — that satisfies these safety codes while still looking like an intentional part of your landscaping rather than a compliance afterthought.
HOA Approval & Permit Help
Many Des Peres subdivisions have homeowners associations with their own rules on fence height, materials, color and placement, and the City of Des Peres requires a permit for fence projects. We help homeowners line up the details — drawings, setbacks, allowable materials and approvals — so your fence clears both the city and your HOA before we ever set a post. Doing it by the book the first time saves you the headache of a fence that has to be torn out or modified later.
Built for Clay Soil & Freeze-Thaw
Like the rest of the St. Louis region, Des Peres sits on heavy clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons, and our freeze-thaw winters heave shallow posts right out of the ground. A fence is only as solid as its posts, so we set them at the proper depth in concrete — the difference between a fence that stays plumb and straight for decades and one that starts leaning after a winter or two. On upscale properties especially, that foundation work is what protects your investment.
