Modern Composite Fencing FAQs for Wilmington Homeowners
Does composite fence fade?
Our architectural grade composite fencing is engineered with high-quality UV inhibitors to minimize fading and maintain its vibrant color for decades.
Is composite fencing more expensive than vinyl?
Generally, yes. Composite is considered a luxury material due to its advanced material science and natural wood-like appearance.
How do I clean my composite fence?
Simple soap and water or a light pressure wash are usually all that's needed to keep it looking brand new.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Wilmington, DE?
Most properties in the City of Wilmington and New Castle County require a permit for any fence over 6 feet in height or for installations on corner lots. We handle the permit application and ensure your design meets all local zoning and setback requirements.
What is the frost line depth for Delaware fence posts?
For the Wilmington area, the frost line is typically around 30 inches. We set our fence posts at a minimum depth of 36 inches—well below the frost line—to prevent the 'heaving' that often occurs in cheaper installations after a First State winter.
What are the common height limits for fences in New Castle County?
Residential properties in New Castle County usually allow up to 6-foot fences in side and rear yards. Front yard fences are typically limited to 4 feet and may require specific transparency (like aluminum). We verify the exact code for your address.

A standard residential installation in Wilmington typically takes 2 to 3 business days. Our veteran crews work with extreme efficiency to respect your time and property.
Are you licensed and insured for the State of Delaware?
