Fence Installation & Repair in Webster Groves, MO

Fencing for One of St. Louis County's Most Established Suburbs

Webster Groves is one of the oldest and most settled suburbs in St. Louis County. The city traces its name to 1896, when five separate railroad communities — Webster, Old Orchard, Webster Park, Tuxedo Park and Selma — merged into a single municipality once marketed as the "Queen of the Suburbs." More than a century later, that history is still written across the streetscape: grand Victorians and Colonials from the late 1800s, Italianate homes near the old rail corridor, and Colonial Revival houses from the early 1900s, all sitting on deep, shaded lots beneath a canopy of mature trees. Fencing a property here is rarely a blank-slate job — it's about complementing a home with real character, and that's the kind of work we enjoy.

St. Louis Fence Co. installs and repairs wood, ornamental and picket fencing throughout the 63119 area — from the brick storefronts and side streets of Old Webster around Lockwood and Gore, to Old Orchard along Big Bend Boulevard, to the quiet residential blocks near Webster University on East Lockwood. We're based just over in St. Louis City and reach Webster Groves quickly, so the estimate is easy to schedule and the crew already knows how to work around older homes, mature roots and long-established property lines.

Why Webster Groves Homeowners Add a Fence

On older, generously sized lots, a fence does more than mark a boundary. Most Webster Groves homeowners we work with are after one of a few things — and often several at once:

• Privacy on deep, open yards. Many homes here back up to neighbors across wide, unbroken lawns. A solid wood privacy fence turns a beautiful but exposed backyard into a true outdoor room.
• A safe space for pets and kids. With Webster University, 17 city parks and walkable streets nearby, families want a secure yard their dog and children can enjoy without constant watching.
• Defining a mature landscape. Established gardens, patios and old shade trees deserve a clean edge. The right fence frames a yard that's taken decades to grow in.
• Complementing historic character. A short picket or an ornamental panel can echo a home's period detailing instead of fighting it — important on the kind of streetscapes Webster Groves is known for.

Fence Types That Suit Older Webster Groves Homes

Wood Privacy & Board-on-Board

Cedar privacy fencing remains the most popular choice for backyards here. It delivers seclusion on those broad lots, takes stain or paint to match trim, and weathers into a look that belongs alongside century-old housing stock. We build standard privacy, board-on-board and shadowbox styles depending on how much screening — and how much airflow — you want.

Picket Fencing

For front yards and side gardens, a classic picket fence is hard to beat on a Colonial or Victorian. It adds a defined edge and a welcoming, period-appropriate feel without walling off a home that was designed to be seen from the street.

Ornamental Aluminum

Where homeowners want an open, elegant look — around a garden, a pool area or a corner lot — powder-coated ornamental aluminum offers the wrought-iron appearance that flatters a stately older home, with far less upkeep. It's a natural fit for the more formal properties in Webster Park and around Lockwood.

Repairing Aging Fences in Webster Groves

Because so many properties here have had fences for years, repair is a big part of what we do in 63119. Decades of humid Missouri summers and freeze-thaw winters take a toll: cedar pickets gray and split, gate posts begin to lean, hinges sag, and rails pull loose. In many cases a section repair, a few replacement posts or a re-hung gate restores the fence for a fraction of the cost of starting over. We'll look honestly at what you have and tell you when a repair makes sense — and when an aging fence has reached the end of its life. Whether it's storm damage from one of those mature trees or simple age, we handle residential fence repair across the city.

Permits, Property Lines & Setting Posts to Last

Webster Groves, like most St. Louis County municipalities, regulates fences through its code — with rules that can cover height, placement and materials, especially toward the front of a property. We help homeowners understand what their project requires and pull the proper permit before we dig, so the finished fence is fully on the books. On a city of this age, we also pay close attention to property lines and established plantings, and we locate utilities before any post goes in.

Setting posts correctly matters even more here than elsewhere. The region's heavy clay soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and our freeze-thaw winters heave anything set too shallow. We dig below the frost line and anchor posts in concrete so your fence stays plumb and solid through the seasons — not just through its first year. On lots with big, old shade trees, we also route fence lines thoughtfully around major roots to protect both the trees and the longevity of the fence.
