Fence Installation & Repair services in Dearborn
Dearborn's fence rules are some of the most detailed in the area, and they drive most of our design choices. A regular fence is kept out of the front yard. Behind the house, a fence can reach 6 feet, but a decorative cap or post top counts toward that height. On a corner lot, the side street fence has to taper down toward the front. The city also asks for a clear view at driveways and intersections. Within those rules, Dearborn yards range from small east side lots near the Rouge plant to roomier west side lots and the older streets of the Ford Homes area. We match the plan to the block: a tight privacy run with a narrow gate on a small lot, or a longer aluminum and wood mix where the yard is deep.

Permits and local rules
Dearborn requires a fence permit. Residential fences can be up to 6 feet, with decorative tops counted in the height, and must sit 12 inches back from a public sidewalk. The city requires a 10-foot clear sight line at driveways and 25 feet at intersections, and on a corner lot the side street fence tapers from 4 feet down to 2 feet toward the front lot line.
