Dunwoody is a tree-rich community of established homes on wooded lots, where mature hardwoods and pines frame properties across the 30338 ZIP code and beyond. When a tree needs attention, when storm damage strikes, or when a fence has to go up or come down, Atlanta Fence Company is the crew your neighbors call.

We have been serving Dunwoody and the Atlanta area since 2011. Our team handles fence installation, repair, and removal with the same care we bring to every job. Whether you need a new privacy fence, a gate that works, or a damaged fence taken down after a storm, we show up, do honest work, and leave your property clean.

Fencing and Gates in Dunwoody (30338)

Dunwoody's 1970s through 1990s housing stock sits on wooded lots where privacy fencing is common and property lines matter. Many homes are set back from the street with mature trees framing the fence line, and tight lot access is routine. We know how to work in these spaces. We are fully insured, and we are an AFA Member Installer with the American Fence Association. Our crews have been installing wood privacy fences, vinyl fencing, chain link, ornamental metal, and gates in this neighborhood for over a decade.

Whether your fence needs repair, replacement, or you are starting fresh, we work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify. We coordinate with your HOA if deed restrictions apply, and we always call 811 before we dig. That is not optional; it is the law, and it keeps everyone safe.

How a Fence Job Works in Dunwoody

Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment. Call us at (470) 823-2437 or contact us online. We visit your property, walk the fence line, check post condition and alignment, and listen to what you need. We take photos, measure, and give you an honest estimate. If repair makes sense, we say so. If replacement is the better spend, we explain why.

Step 2: The Work. Our crews show up on schedule with the right tools and materials. We set posts in concrete, space them to code, and build the fence to last. For wood privacy fencing, we use pressure-treated pine or cedar stringers and rails, and we install pickets board-on-board or side-by-side to your preference. For vinyl, we use PVC rails and caps. For chain link, we tension the mesh and install stretcher bars and tension bands correctly. Gates get self-closing hardware and anti-sag bracing if needed. We work around existing trees and tight spaces. We respect your neighbors and your property.

Step 3: Cleanup and Walkthrough. We remove all scrap and debris. We walk the fence line with you, point out the work, and make sure you are satisfied. Then we leave.

Pricing for fence work in Dunwoody depends on material, length, and site conditions. Wood privacy fencing starts at $25 per linear foot. Vinyl runs $36 per linear foot. Chain link is $15 per linear foot. Ornamental metal and aluminum start at $40 per linear foot. Pool fencing is $32 per linear foot. Farm and ranch fencing is $11 per linear foot. Gate installation runs from $465, and automatic driveway gates start at $2,800. Fence repair begins at $440, and full replacement jobs typically start at $2,300. Post repair and replacement are $440 and up. Staining and restoration run from $920. For a free estimate on your specific project, call us at (470) 823-2437. We measure on site, factor in access, terrain, and material choices, and give you a real number.

What fencing material works best for Dunwoody properties with mature trees and wooded lots?
Wood privacy fencing is the neighborhood standard and blends well with tree-lined properties. Pressure-treated pine is durable and affordable. Cedar costs more but looks richer and ages gracefully. Vinyl is low-maintenance and works if your HOA allows it. We install all three. The choice depends on your budget, your HOA deed restrictions, and how much maintenance you want to do. We can show you samples and walk you through the trade-offs.
Do I need a permit for a new fence in Dunwoody?
Permit requirements in Dunwoody are set by DeKalb County and the city. Fence height, setback, and material rules vary, and many master-planned communities have HOA architectural standards that govern what you can build. Before we start, we recommend you check with the Dunwoody building department and your HOA (if you have one) to confirm what is allowed. We can help you understand the rules and install to code, but the final sign-off comes from the city and your HOA.
A storm brought down part of my fence. Can you help with insurance documentation?
Yes. We can assess the damage, take photos, and provide a detailed repair or replacement estimate that you can submit to your insurance company. We document what failed and why, so you have the information you need to file a claim. What the insurance company approves is between you and them, but we give you the honest details to work with.
My fence is leaning. Can it be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?
It depends on the cause and how far it has gone. A fence leans when posts settle, rot at the ground line, or lose concrete footing. If the posts are still sound and the rails are straight, we can often reset the posts in fresh concrete and brace the fence back to plumb. If posts are rotted or severely weakened, replacement is the better spend. We inspect on site and tell you which makes sense.
My HOA has strict rules about fence color and material. Can you work with that?
Absolutely. Many Dunwoody neighborhoods have deed restrictions and HOA architectural standards. We work from your HOA approval letter and build exactly to spec. We coordinate with your HOA if needed, and we install materials and colors that meet their requirements. Bring us the rules, and we build to them.
I need a gate that closes itself. What are my options?
Self-closing hardware is standard on many residential gates. For a manual gate, we install self-closing hinges and a self-latching latch so the gate closes and latches on its own. For automatic driveway gates, we install a gate operator that opens and closes on command. Automatic gates run from $2,800 and up, depending on the gate size, the operator, and site access. We can show you options and pricing for your specific driveway.
What is the process for replacing a fence in Dunwoody? How long does it take?
We start with a free on-site estimate. Once you approve, we call 811 to locate utilities before we dig. We remove the old fence, dispose of the debris, set new posts in concrete, and build the new fence to your specifications. For a typical residential privacy fence, the job takes three to five days depending on length and site conditions. We keep you updated and clean up as we go. Call us at (470) 823-2437 to schedule your assessment.
