Fence Installation & Repair services in Penn Hills
Few flat yards exist in Penn Hills. The municipality is spread over ridges and hollows east of the city, and a typical lot has a 1950s brick ranch at the street and a back yard that falls away toward a wooded ravine. A fence there has to follow the drop without leaving a gap a dog can get under, so we rack the panels where the grade is steady and step them where it breaks. Slopes in this part of Allegheny County can creep or slide after long wet spells, which is why we keep heavy solid fence off the top edge of a steep bank and tell you when a retaining wall or an engineer should come first. Chain link is still the most common fence on these blocks, and many calls are to replace a rusted one with black coated mesh or wood privacy. Corner lots get extra care, because the front yard height rule is tighter there.
