Fence Company Serving Lake Mary, FL
All County Fence installs and replaces fences throughout Lake Mary, from the golf-course neighborhoods off Rinehart Road and Markham Woods Road to the established streets around Greenwood Lakes and the townhome communities near Lake Mary Boulevard. We work in Timacuan, Magnolia Plantation, Greenwood Lakes, Fountain Parke, the Crossings, and the surrounding 32746 neighborhoods. We handle the details that catch out-of-town crews: sandy Seminole County soil, the ponds and retention lakes that sit behind so many Lake Mary lots, HOA architectural review, and Lake Mary’s own fence code, which is stricter than Orlando’s.

Fence Services We Provide in Lake Mary
- Vinyl (PVC) Privacy Fencing — the most-requested privacy fence in Lake Mary’s HOA communities. It holds its colour through Florida humidity and UV with no painting or sealing, which matters where architectural guidelines expect a consistent look along the street.
- Wood Fencing — board-on-board and shadowbox privacy fences, plus picket for front yards. Lower up-front cost than vinyl and the right answer where an HOA specifies a wood appearance.
- Ornamental Aluminum Fencing — the usual choice for front yards, pond frontage, and the gated communities off Markham Woods Road, where an open sightline is wanted rather than a solid screen.
- Pool Fence Installation — Florida law requires a barrier of at least 4 feet around a residential pool, with self-closing and self-latching gates. Powder-coated aluminum meets code and will not corrode in Central Florida humidity.
- Chain Link Fencing — for back lots, pet runs, and commercial sites along the International Parkway corridor. Note that Lake Mary does not allow barbed wire or other security fencing in residential districts.
- Fence Replacement — full tear-out and rebuild when posts have failed rather than a few boards. This is the route we can help with whoever installed the original fence.
- Gate Installation — matching walk gates and double drive gates, planned with the fence rather than added afterwards, because a gate opening changes post spacing.
Choosing the Right Fence Material for Lake Mary Conditions
- Backing onto a pond or retention lake: a great many Lake Mary lots do. Higher soil moisture and a shallower water table favour vinyl and aluminum, which do not rot or rust, and posts want deeper concrete footings to hold in saturated ground.
- Sandy Seminole County soil: sand drains well but grips a post far less than clay. Footing depth is the single thing that decides whether a fence is still straight in five years, and it is the corner most often cut.
- Sun and summer storms: UV and humidity break down economy materials quickly. Powder-coated aluminum and quality PVC last considerably longer than budget options in this climate.
- HOA density: Lake Mary is largely made up of planned communities, so the architectural guidelines are usually a tighter constraint than the city code. Height, material, colour, and which way the finished face points are all commonly specified.
Lake Mary Fence Permits & Height Rules
Lake Mary is an incorporated city, so fences here are governed by the city’s own code rather than Seminole County’s, and the rules differ from Orlando in ways that matter. Under Lake Mary Code § 154.23 (Fences and Walls):
- A building permit is required for a fence or wall before it is built or installed. This is the biggest difference from the City of Orlando, which does not require a permit for a residential fence up to 6 feet. We pull the permit as part of the job.
- Rear and side yards: up to 8 feet. Lake Mary is one of the more generous cities in Seminole County on height, which is useful on lots that back onto a road or a neighbouring rooftop.
- Front yard and street-side setbacks: 6 feet maximum, and generally only decorative fencing is permitted in those setbacks. If you are on a corner lot, both street frontages count.
- No fence or wall within 20 feet of a corner intersection of street rights-of-way, for visibility. Orlando measures a 25-foot sight triangle instead, so a layout that passes in Orlando is not automatically compliant here.
- No electrically charged wire, ribbon, barbed, or other security fencing in any residential district.
- HOA approval is separate from the permit and is usually the harder of the two. We help you confirm your community’s requirements before anything is ordered.
Fence codes are amended from time to time, so we confirm current requirements with the City of Lake Mary Building Division for your specific lot and zoning district before we build.
