Kirkwood's tree-lined streets and generous lots define the neighborhood, but they also mean mature trees that need expert care, thoughtful removal, and honest repair work. St. Louis Fencing has served Kirkwood and the greater St. Louis area since 2011, and we know what it takes to protect your property and keep your fences standing.

In a historic suburb where front picket fences and full-height rear privacy screens often sit on the same property, a well-built fence is part of the neighborhood character. When your fence needs installation, repair, or restoration, or when a storm brings a section down, our crews show up to do the work right, not to oversell it.

Fencing and Gates in Kirkwood (63122)

Kirkwood's housing stock spans period homes on substantial lots, many with the local pattern of low front pickets and full-height rear privacy fencing on a single property. That mix means we install and repair a wide range of fence types: cedar and pressure-treated wood privacy fences, vinyl and PVC, chain link, and ornamental metal. Rear yards often call for board-on-board or side-by-side privacy construction set on properly spaced posts in concrete. Front-yard picket runs may be racked or stepped to follow grade changes, and they need trim and cap details that hold up to weather and time.

We've been working in Kirkwood and the surrounding St. Louis area since 2011. Our team handles wood and vinyl privacy fence installation, chain link, aluminum and ornamental iron, gates and automatic driveway gates, pool fencing, fence repair, post replacement, staining and restoration, and storm damage assessment. We're fully insured and AFA Member Installers with the American Fence Association.

How a Fence Job Works in Kirkwood

Step 1: Free on-site assessment. Call us at (314) 668-1539 or reach out online. We come to your property, look at what you have and what you want, discuss material options and local code requirements, and give you a straightforward estimate. We'll also ask whether you've had a Missouri 811 utility locate done if you're planning new post holes. That call is required by law before digging.

Step 2: The work itself. Our crews handle the job from start to finish. We set posts in concrete on proper spacing, install stringers and pickets or panels, hang gates with hardware that works, and finish trim and cap details. If your lot has grade changes, we rack or step the fence to follow the slope. If you're in a master-planned community, we coordinate with your HOA on material and height before we start. Kirkwood's building department sets height, setback, and corner-visibility rules, and we work within those standards.

Step 3: Cleanup and walkthrough. We haul away scrap and debris, leave your property clean, and walk the fence line with you to make sure everything meets your expectations and the local code.

Wood privacy fence installation in Kirkwood typically runs from $27 per linear foot for standard pressure-treated pine, and cedar runs higher. Vinyl and PVC start at $38 per linear foot and hold up well in the local weather. Chain link is our most economical option at $16 per linear foot, and ornamental metal (aluminum or iron) starts at $42 per linear foot. Gate installation runs from $495, and automatic driveway gates start at $2,900. Fence repair work begins at $475, and post replacement or repair starts at $465. Staining and restoration of existing wood fencing starts at $925. The final cost depends on the fence length, material choice, site access, whether posts need replacement, and any grading or terrain challenges on your lot. Storm damage assessment is free, and we can help you document the damage for an insurance claim. Call us at (314) 668-1539 for a free estimate tailored to your Kirkwood property.

What's the difference between a racked and stepped fence installation, and when do I need one in Kirkwood?

Racked fencing follows a sloped grade by tilting the stringers (the horizontal rails) while keeping the posts plumb. Stepped fencing keeps stringers level and moves them up and down in steps as the grade changes. Kirkwood lots often have grade changes, especially in rear yards. Stepped is more formal and common on front picket runs. Racked is faster and works well for privacy fencing on slopes. We assess your lot and recommend the right method for your terrain and the look you want.

Do I need a permit to install a fence in Kirkwood?

Kirkwood's building department sets fence rules including height limits, setback requirements, and material standards. Permit requirements vary, so we always recommend checking with the Kirkwood building department before we start. If you're in a master-planned community, your HOA may have additional architectural guidelines on height, material, and color. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify. We do not determine property lines, and we always recommend that you verify your lot boundaries with a licensed land surveyor if there's any doubt.

My rear fence is leaning. Do I need to replace the whole thing, or can it be repaired?

A leaning fence is often fixable. We assess whether the posts are still sound or if they've rotted at the ground line (the most common cause). If posts are solid, we can often re-brace or re-set them in concrete to bring the fence back plumb. If posts are rotted or severely damaged, we replace them. We propose repair before replacement whenever the fence justifies it, and we'll give you an honest estimate of what the work costs and how long it will hold.

My front fence is a low picket, and my rear is full-height privacy. How do I maintain both?

That's the classic Kirkwood pattern. Front pickets in cedar or pressure-treated pine need periodic staining or sealing to resist weather and keep the color you want. Rear privacy fencing, especially board-on-board construction, also benefits from staining and restoration every few years. We offer fence staining and restoration starting at $925. We can discuss a maintenance plan that keeps both fences looking good and extends their life.

A storm brought down a section of my fence. What do you do?

We offer free storm damage assessment. We come out, look at what came down and why, and give you an honest repair or replacement estimate. We can help you document the damage for an insurance claim. Repair costs start at $475, and replacement depends on the fence type and length. Call us at (314) 668-1539 right away, and we'll get a crew to you as soon as we can.

I want to install a pool fence. What are the code requirements in Kirkwood?

Pool barrier requirements are set by Missouri state law and local code. We install pool fencing to meet those codes, with final determination resting with the authority having jurisdiction. We recommend checking with the Kirkwood building department or your local code official for specific height, spacing, and gate-latch requirements before we start. A pool fence is a safety barrier and does not remove the need for supervision.

Do you install automatic driveway gates, and what's involved?

Yes. Automatic and driveway gates start at $2,900 and include the gate frame, operator hardware, and installation. We can install cantilever or V-track systems depending on your driveway width and slope. The operator is self-closing and self-latching. We handle the electrical work and make sure the gate opens and closes smoothly and safely. We also repair existing gates that are dragging, off-hinge, or not latching properly. Call (314) 668-1539 to discuss your driveway setup.
