Fence installation · Southgate, Michigan
Give your Southgate backyard a more finished feel
A new fence can bring privacy and a more consistent look to your outdoor space. Begin by deciding how much of the existing layout you want to keep.
A plan for your property
Separate replacement work from layout changes
Replacing the same run and moving a fence to a new location are different project discussions. Mark the existing line, the proposed line and any gates you want to relocate so the estimate covers the actual change.
Look at how the chosen style will meet the house, garage and remaining fence. Consistent transitions and a useful gate location often make as much difference as the panel design.

More questions about your fence layout
Is replacing a Southgate fence the same as moving it?
They can involve different scope and placement questions. Show both locations on the plan and check the current city process before assuming that an existing line or approval applies to a relocated fence.
Does a site plan check replace a boundary survey?
Our site-plan review helps organize the proposed fence layout and flag property-line questions. It is a planning reference, not a boundary survey or a determination of property ownership. Uncertain boundaries need to be resolved before installation.
