Fencing & Decks in Fairfax, VA
The first thing we figure out on a Fairfax fence job is which government you live under. Inside city limits, permits go through the City of Fairfax. A Fairfax mailing address outside the city falls under Fairfax County instead. It sounds like a small detail, but it decides who reviews your deck plans. Our fencing and decks crew settles it at the estimate, and our Fairfax service area page has more about the area.
Historic Streets and Stream Valleys
Homes near Old Town Fairfax and the City of Fairfax Historic District often call for a fence that suits older architecture. If your property is in or near the district, we ask the city what review applies before you choose a style. The city is also the headwaters of Accotink Creek, and Daniels Run rises here before flowing into it. Yards that slope toward these valleys carry a lot of water after storms, so we keep post holes and deck footings out of low channels and do not leave loose soil where it can wash into a creek.
Clay subsoil stays damp, so posts go below the frost line on gravel and are set in concrete. Miss Utility (Virginia 811) marks buried lines before we dig.
What We Build Around the City
Our Picket Fencing and Iron Fencing styles suit homes near Old Town and the historic courthouse, where a fence should frame the house rather than hide it. Brick Fencing piers or short walls look right at a front walk or driveway. For backyard privacy, Vinyl Fencing is the low-maintenance choice. Chain Link Fencing and Wire Mesh Fencing keep dogs safe on a modest budget, and wire can be added behind Split Rail Fencing for a country look that still holds a pet.
Fence Repairs handle leaning sections, split rails, and broken gates. Our Pergolas & Decks service builds new decks and shade structures and replaces worn boards on older homes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my Fairfax home under the city or the county for permits?
If you live inside City of Fairfax limits, permits go through the city. Many homes with a Fairfax mailing address are actually in Fairfax County. We check your address and confirm which office reviews your fence or deck.
Are there design rules for fences in Old Town Fairfax?
Properties in or near the City of Fairfax Historic District may have design review for exterior changes. We ask the city what applies before you settle on a style or material, so the project does not stall later.
Can you build a deck on a yard that slopes toward a creek?
Yes. Sloped yards often need taller posts and deeper footings, and we keep footings away from drainage paths. If the area is near a stream, we check for buffer rules first.
What is the most low-maintenance fence?
Vinyl and powder-coated metal need the least upkeep, mostly an occasional wash. Wood looks great but needs sealing or stain every few years to last as long.
Can you start before the permit is approved?
No. If your fence or deck needs a city or county permit, we wait for approval before digging. Once we know which office is reviewing it, we give you a realistic start date.
