Fencing for One of St. Louis's Most Prestigious Communities
Ladue is one of the most prestigious addresses in the St. Louis region — a quiet, leafy community of estate homes set on large lots, with mostly private streets, very little commercial development, and some of the metro's finest custom residences. Property here is defined by space, mature trees and grand setbacks, and a fence in Ladue is rarely an afterthought. It frames the entrance to an estate, secures a pool or private grounds, and adds to the character of a home that may sit on an acre or more.
St. Louis Fence Co. brings that same standard to every Ladue project. We build and repair fences across the 63124 zip code — from the homes lining Clayton Road and Conway Road to the wooded estates off South Warson Road near Ladue Horton Watkins High School. Whether you want elegant ornamental fencing to define a front boundary or a custom gated entrance for a private drive, we approach high-end properties the way they deserve: quietly, carefully and with attention to detail.
Why Ladue Homeowners Fence Their Property
The reasons to fence an estate in Ladue are different from those in a tightly packed city block. With larger grounds, more privacy and higher-value homes, owners here tend to fence for a combination of elegance, security and function:
Estate Privacy & Security
On a sizable lot, a well-placed fence creates a defined, secure perimeter without closing the property off entirely. Ornamental aluminum and wrought-iron-style fencing offers a sense of enclosure and security while keeping sightlines open across manicured grounds — a look that suits Ladue's estate aesthetic far better than a solid wall.
Pools & Private Grounds
Many Ladue homes have in-ground pools, gardens and outdoor living areas that call for safe, code-compliant enclosure. We build pool-area fencing that meets local safety requirements while complementing the architecture of the home rather than detracting from it.
Defining a Grand Property
A handsome ornamental fence and a custom gated entrance do more than mark a boundary — they introduce the home. For many owners here, the fence and gate are part of the property's first impression, and they want them done right by a crew that understands the difference between an ordinary install and an estate-grade one.
📍 Discreet, professional work on high-end properties
We know an estate project calls for a different touch — clean job sites, careful protection of landscaping and drives, and a crew that respects your privacy from the first estimate to the final walkthrough.

The City of Ladue takes its building standards seriously, and fences are no exception. Every fence in Ladue requires a building permit, and the city's process is more detailed than most. The application generally calls for notification to your subdivision trustees, scaled site plans showing property lines, setbacks and easements, and detailed drawings of the proposed fence — including its height and post depth — submitted to the Building Department on Clayton Road.
Ladue also enforces specific design rules. Front-yard fences are limited in height and must remain largely open rather than solid, which is one reason ornamental fencing is so common at the fronts of estates here. The city typically requires two inspections — a pier inspection to verify the depth of the post holes, followed by a final inspection for conformity with code. We handle these details for you: preparing the plans, coordinating with trustees and inspectors, and building to the specifications so your project passes cleanly the first time.
For pool enclosures, fencing must meet local safety requirements for height and access. We build pool-area fencing that satisfies those rules while still looking like it belongs with the rest of your property. Have questions about a specific project? Reach out and we'll walk you through what Ladue requires.
