Custom fencing materials built for the North Georgia climate
Georgia humidity, storm seasons, and Cobb County’s heavy red clay are hard on a fence. These are the materials our Marietta fence contractors install most — and where each one earns its keep.

Wood fence installation & privacy fence builders
For backyard seclusion on suburban Cobb County lots, wood is still king. Our privacy fence builders in Marietta install board-on-board and shadowbox privacy fences that block sightlines completely while looking finished from both sides. On materials it’s a two-way choice: western red cedar naturally resists rot and insects and weathers gracefully, while pressure-treated pine is the rugged, cost-effective workhorse for wood fence installation in Marietta, GA. Either way, posts are set in concrete below the clay’s swing zone.

Aluminum fence installation & ornamental iron fencing
Powder-coated aluminum and ornamental iron draw elegant, rust-resistant boundaries for luxury properties and Marietta’s historic homes — and because they’re open pickets rather than solid panels, they’re a natural fit for the City’s decorative front-yard rules. Aluminum fence installation in Marietta, GA runs from clean flat-top pool enclosures to spear-top perimeters with brick or stone columns; ornamental iron fencing adds the heavier, traditional profile — without the constant repainting wrought iron once demanded.

Low-maintenance vinyl fencing
As a vinyl fencing company serving Marietta, GA, we install UV-stabilized vinyl privacy and picket fences that never need paint, stain, or sealant — a hose-down brings them back to bright white. That makes vinyl the HOA-friendly favorite in covenant-controlled East Cobb neighborhoods where a uniform, always-clean look matters. It costs more up front than wood, but the maintenance line on the budget drops to zero.

Chain link fence contractors — residential & commercial
Black vinyl-coated chain link is the quiet workhorse: affordable, nearly invisible against a tree line, and tough enough for decades of Georgia weather. Our chain link fence contractors in Marietta install it for large residential lots, pet containment, and dog runs — and in galvanized or coated commercial grades for warehouses, ballfields, and perimeter security across Cobb County.
Residential & commercial fencing in Marietta

Residential Fencing Marietta GA
The most common type of residential fence is the backyard fence. They are often made from wood or chain link but there are so many other types of fences to be found in a neighborhood. Residential fencing can:
- Provide beauty as well as enhanced security – Ornamental fencing is normally used around high value homes that need a bit of extra security. These fences are often made from wrought iron, stone or brick because of those materials’ durability and eye-catching beauty.
- Keep your children and pets safe – Backyard fences can be made from almost anything although chain link and wood seem to be the most prevalent. These fences are perfect for keeping your children safe while keeping unwanted visitors and animals out.
- Block unwanted attention – Everyone likes to get away from time to time but the close proximity of your neighbor’s home may make that impossible. A solid privacy fence made from quality lumber will protect your privacy while increasing your home’s value.
- Provide a safe environment for your pool – Pools are extremely dangerous for young children so laws have been passed in most states to require pool fencing. You need a pool fence that you can see through, that provides a secure entry, that can’t be climbed on and there are height and installation requirements as well. Vinyl and chain link are very popular choices for pool fencing considering their open weave and secure design.
- Mark the boundaries of your property – Picket fences and split rail fences are perfect for this role. They are an affordable option if you need to cover a lot of area and they look great in a residential setting. Many HOAs actually require this type of fence because of the aesthetic appeal.

Commercial Fencing Marietta GA
Commercial fencing uses some of the same types as residential but it has a different focus. Each type of residential fence is primarily focused on one job. You need a privacy fence to block line of sight or you need a pool fence to protect your backyard pool. When you install a fence for your business it has to fill multiple functions like:
- Upgrading your security – A strong fence is a basic component of any security setup. Some companies may just need a chain link fence to make entry more difficult but others can combine barbed wire and security cameras to create a more formidable barrier.
- Keeping your liability to a minimum – Some companies have areas of the property that may be restricted or unsafe. A fence will clearly mark these areas so people have an unmistakable warning of where they shouldn’t go.
- Give your clients or employees their privacy – Businesspeople need their privacy for a variety of reasons. Take a divorce attorney for example. Their clients may not want anyone to know that they have been visiting an attorney’s office and a wooden privacy fence can prevent that.
- Be eye catching to attract business – Perception is very important in a commercial setting. No matter how strong or well designed your fence is, potential clients could be turned away if it looks ugly. A commercial fence needs to make you look like a professional, not a prison guard.

Navigating Cobb County permits & Marietta property lines
First, confirm whose rules you’re under: a Marietta mailing address doesn’t always mean City of Marietta zoning. Much of East Cobb sits in unincorporated Cobb County, which sets its own fence standards — so the jurisdiction, city or county, is the first thing to check before you build.
Inside the city limits, Marietta’s zoning ordinance (§710.04) keeps front-yard fences to 4 feet and ornamental in nature — wood, brick, stone, split rail, or wrought iron and aluminum, never chain link along the street. Street-facing side yards and the rear of double-frontage lots top out at 6 feet; other side and rear runs can go to 8 feet. Fences stay at least 2 feet off the right-of-way with the finished side facing out, pool fences need at least 4 feet with a self-closing, self-latching gate, and in the historic districts around the Square, a fence visible from the street goes through design review first.
This is general guidance, not legal advice — rules change, and confirming them, pulling any permit, and securing HOA or historic-district approval is the homeowner’s responsibility. We design your fence to the spec you’ve had approved and are glad to provide the drawings and product details your application needs.
Frequently asked questions about Marietta fence installation
Permits, materials for Cobb County clay, HOA and historic approvals, and timelines — answered.
Do I need a permit to install a fence in Marietta, GA?
Usually not a building permit — the City of Marietta exempts most residential fences — but zoning rules still apply, and they’re specific: 4-foot ornamental fences in front yards, 6 feet on street-facing sides, up to 8 feet elsewhere, set back 2 feet from the right-of-way. East Cobb addresses outside the city limits follow unincorporated Cobb County’s separate code instead. Confirming your jurisdiction’s rules and any permit is the homeowner’s responsibility; we build to the spec you’ve had approved.
What is the best fence material for Cobb County’s climate and soil?
Marietta sits on heavy red clay and rolling terrain, with high humidity and real storm seasons — so we recommend pressure-treated pine, western red cedar, or powder-coated aluminum. Cedar and aluminum naturally resist rot and rust, while pressure-treated wood is the rugged, cost-effective choice for backyard privacy. Whatever the material, we set posts in concrete footings sized for the clay.
Do you work with HOA and historic district guidelines in Marietta?
Many communities in East Cobb and near Marietta Square have HOA covenants or historic-preservation guidelines on fence height, color, and materials — in the city’s historic districts, a fence visible from the street needs design review before it goes up. Securing that approval stays with the homeowner, but we make it easy: we’ll provide the drawings, specifications, and product details your HOA or review-board application needs, then build exactly to the approved plan.
How long does a typical residential fence installation take in Marietta?
Most residential fence installations in the Marietta area are completed within 1 to 3 days, depending on the project’s linear footage and the slope of the lot. We also handle fence repair and full replacement of aging runs — tear-out and haul-away usually happen the same day. Posts are set in concrete footings designed for local soil conditions, and the work is backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty.
