Atlanta’s custom fence builders & design specialists
Want a fence or gate that’s one of a kind — not an off-the-shelf panel? FenceWorks of Georgia has been the custom fencing contractor metro Atlanta homeowners call for bespoke fence installation since 2006. We start with what you have in mind — a style, a photo, a rough sketch, or just a problem to solve — and design around your property: arched and scalloped gate tops, horizontal-slat modern lines, mixed wood-and-steel builds, decorative caps and hardware, and personalized backyard fencing designs that rack down a slope or wrap an odd-shaped lot. Whatever the material, we draw it, build it to spec, and install it with our own crews. (Ready to price a specific material? See our fence material guide and fence cost guide.)

Custom fence design styles & mixed material options
Every one of these was designed and built for a specific metro-Atlanta property — no two the same. Wood and cedar give the most room to get creative — arched driveway gates, scalloped walk gates, board-on-board custom fencing designs, and matched crossbuck runs — while mixed wood-and-metal builds pair cedar with a welded steel frame.

| Custom design style | Ideal architectural match | Primary engineering benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Horizontal wood slats | Modern, contemporary homes | Clean lines and maximized privacy with a modern aesthetic |
| Mixed wood & metal | Industrial-chic, transitional spaces | Combines the warmth of cedar with the strength of a welded steel frame |
| Arched & scalloped cedar | Traditional, craftsman, and estate properties | One-of-a-kind entryway framing and curb appeal |
| Racked / stepped panels | Sloped lots and rolling terrain | Follows the grade smoothly without gaps at the ground |
The custom design & installation process
From first idea to finished install — three straightforward steps.
Free on-site consultation
We walk your property, talk through the look you want, the materials, and what the fence or gate has to do. Bring a photo, an inspiration board, or a rough sketch — or just point at the problem and we’ll take it from there.
Your design & itemized quote
We turn it into a buildable design and a clear, itemized quote — material, size, hardware, and any automation spelled out, usually within the same week. Financing is available through Wisetack.
We build & install it
Our own crews fabricate the custom work and install it clean, matching the design we agreed on, then haul away the debris. One team, start to finish.
Materials we design in — cedar, metal, vinyl & more
Custom work isn’t limited to one material. Pick the look and performance you want and we’ll design around it — each of these links to the full details.
Custom wood privacy fence & architectural cedar
The most freedom for a one-off build — arched and scalloped gate tops, board-on-board, crossbuck, and horizontal-slat designs in cedar or pressure-treated pine.
Mixed material fence design (wood & metal)
Hybrid builds that pair the warmth of cedar with the strength of steel — wood gate leaves on welded steel box frames, metal posts with wood infill, and industrial-modern lines for transitional homes.
Ornamental metal, aluminum & decorative iron
Welded steel and wrought-iron looks with scrollwork, custom arches, and heavy-duty frames — or powder-coated aluminum in custom widths, heights, and colors with your choice of finials and rackable panels.
Vinyl
Low-maintenance vinyl in custom heights and open-picket or privacy styles — it won’t rot, rust, or need repainting.
Composite (Trex)
Trex composite in custom layouts and colors for the look of wood with almost none of the upkeep.
Chain link
Custom heights, colors, and privacy-slat options when you need a practical enclosure built to an exact opening.
Engineering solutions: sloped-lot fence design
Metro Atlanta yards are rarely flat, and a stock panel on a hillside leaves ugly triangular gaps at the ground. As sloped-lot fence design contractors, we engineer around the terrain instead of fighting it: racked panels tilt each section to hug a steady grade, while stepped panels descend a steeper hill in clean, deliberate increments — and we’ll tell you on-site which approach suits your yard, or where a mix of both works best.
The same design-first approach covers curves, corners, and odd-shaped lot lines — fences that wrap a cul-de-sac lot, follow an irregular boundary, or work around mature trees and existing hardscape. Every post is set to the layout we draw with you at the free consultation, so the finished line looks intentional from every angle of the yard.

Quoted On-Site
What custom design costs. Custom fences and gates are quoted per project rather than at a flat per-foot rate — the design, material, size, and hardware all move the price. You get a free, itemized on-site estimate, with financing available through Wisetack.

Brian was great to work with and Luis and Juan did such an amazing job on the install. The craftsmanship is immaculate. They matched our inspiration well as we wanted a custom wood fence.

Fenceworks built a custom gate and lattice fence for us and it turned out beautifully. Antonio and his team worked hard to finish the job in professional and timely fashion.

We are glad to have worked with FenceWorks of Georgia on our driveway swing gate. Pepe and his team handcrafted a beautiful new custom gate with hardware, cleared away all of the old material, and offered advice on staining the new wood. Austin was easy to work with on planning and scheduling the project; he took the time to talk through our options and never tried to upsell. Our service was able to be completed earlier than planned and at a great price. Thank you!

Atlanta custom fence design FAQ
Quick answers on what’s possible, matching your home, materials, gates, cost, and permits.
What is custom fence design?
It means we design and build a fence or gate specifically for your property instead of installing a stock panel. That can be a one-off gate style, a mix of materials, decorative caps or hardware, a height or picket spacing that isn’t standard, or a layout that follows a slope or an unusual lot line. You tell us the look and the job it has to do, and we design and build to it.
Can you match my house — or an existing fence?
Yes. We regularly match a new gate or fence to a home’s architecture, or to fencing already on the property — the same material, height, color, and picket or board spacing — so the new work reads as original rather than bolted on. If we didn’t build the original, we match it as closely as the existing materials allow.
What materials can you do custom work in?
Cedar and pressure-treated wood, powder-coated aluminum, ornamental steel and wrought-iron looks, vinyl, Trex composite, and chain link. Wood and steel give you the most freedom for arches, scrollwork, and mixed designs, but every material can be built to a custom size, height, and finish.
Do you design custom gates too?
Yes — custom walk gates and driveway gates are one of the most common things we build, manual or automated with keypad, intercom, and phone-entry access control. See our gates & access control hub for automation details.
Can you build on a slope or an odd-shaped lot?
Yes. Racking a fence to follow the grade, stepping it down a hill, and working around curves, retaining walls, and irregular property lines is routine custom work for us. We sort out the layout on the free on-site visit.
How much does a custom fence or gate cost?
Custom work is quoted per project. You get a free, itemized on-site estimate, and financing is available through Wisetack. Our fence cost guide explains the ranges.
Do you handle permits and HOA design approval?
We build to the design and spec you approve, but pulling permits and getting any HOA architectural approval is the property owner’s responsibility, not ours. Tell us what your permit or HOA sign-off requires and we’ll build to it. Our Georgia fence laws guide is a good starting point.
How long does a custom fence or gate take?
A custom fence is usually a one-to-a-few-day install once the materials are in; a custom-fabricated or automated gate takes longer because of the build plus any electrical and access-control wiring. We give you a realistic timeline with your itemized quote.
