Fencing for Town and Country's Estate Properties
Town and Country is one of the most affluent communities in St. Louis County — a city that incorporated in 1950 specifically to preserve its low-density, residential character, and that has held to that vision ever since. There is no significant commercial development and no apartment housing here; instead you find sprawling estate homes set well back from the road on heavily wooded lots that commonly run from one to three acres or more, threaded with tree-lined streets and equestrian trails. Fencing a property like this is a different undertaking than fencing a quarter-acre suburban yard, and it calls for a contractor who understands both the materials and the city's expectations.
St. Louis Fence Co. installs and repairs fences throughout Town and Country, from the established neighborhoods along Clayton Road and Mason Road to the estate enclaves tucked off Highway 40/I-64 and the Highway 141 corridor. We build the kind of ornamental and estate-grade fencing these properties deserve, and we know the city's permit rules so your project moves smoothly from the first measurement to the final gate.
Why Town and Country Homeowners Fence
Estate Privacy & Property Definition
On a multi-acre wooded lot, the right fence does more than mark a boundary — it defines a grand entrance, frames a backyard retreat, and gives an estate the privacy its owners value. Many homeowners here pair a stately ornamental aluminum fence along the road frontage with taller wood privacy fencing screening a pool, patio or garden closer to the house. We design fence lines that complement the architecture and the landscape rather than fighting them.
Pools & Outdoor Living
Backyard pools are common across Town and Country, and the city requires every private outdoor swimming pool to be enclosed by a fence built and maintained to its adopted building code. We install code-compliant pool barriers with self-closing, self-latching gates that satisfy the requirement while still looking like part of a designed outdoor space — not an afterthought.
Acreage, Pets & Large Yards
Containing a large dog or a few acres of yard takes a fence engineered for the run. We lay out long fence lines across wooded, sloping and uneven terrain, work around mature trees and root systems, and build gates wide enough for mowers, trailers and service vehicles to pass through.

Premium Fence Types for Town and Country
Town and Country's residential code shapes what works here — six-foot fences are generally allowed along the sides and rear of a lot but must keep a consistent open appearance, front-yard fencing is limited and must stay low and open, and chain-link is not permitted in residential districts. That makes elegant, open-design fencing the natural fit, and it's exactly what we specialize in.

Estate fencing rewards experience. Long runs across acreage have to follow the grade and stay true over distance, so we set posts at the proper depth in concrete — important on the region's heavy clay soil, which swells, shrinks and heaves shallow posts through our freeze-thaw winters. Around mature woods we work carefully near tree roots, route fence lines to preserve the canopy that gives these properties their character, and stage materials and equipment to protect established lawns and landscaping. The result is a fence that looks intentional across the whole property and stays straight and solid for years.
Permits & Subdivision Notes
Town and Country requires a permit for every fence, issued once your plans meet the city's fence regulations. Height, openness and front-yard placement are all regulated — six-foot fences are generally permitted along the sides and rear with a consistent open area throughout, while front-yard fences are allowed only on certain designated streets and must stay low and predominantly open. Many Town and Country neighborhoods also sit within subdivisions that carry their own covenants and architectural-review requirements. We help homeowners account for both the city ordinance and any subdivision rules before we build, so the finished fence is approved, compliant and exactly what you pictured.
