Dunwoody Fence Installation, Repair & Gates
A useful fence starts with the way you move through your property.
A gate that works with the grade
Plan the clear opening, swing path, latch, and ground clearance together. A sloping driveway or lawn can affect the gate as much as the fence panels.
Fence & driveway gates →Repair the problem at its source
A loose hinge, moving post, or deteriorated rail needs a different repair. Review nearby sections and the cause of damage before comparing repair with replacement.

Dunwoody Fence Permits: Check Where the Fence Goes
Dunwoody’s fence-permit page identifies front yards, corner lots, and stream buffers as permit situations, including vehicle gates and replacement work. It says a fence entirely behind a residential home does not need a fence permit, but zoning rules still apply.
The city invites a courtesy planning review and asks permit applicants for a site plan. Confirm your parcel’s requirements before ordering, particularly around a stream or floodplain. HOA approval is a separate consideration.

Plan around everyday use
Fencing for Dunwoody Yards & Business Properties
For a home in Georgetown, Kingsley, or Dunwoody North, start with the parts of the yard you use most. A fence beside a patio can serve a different purpose from a boundary behind landscaping. Mark the places where privacy matters and the views you want to keep.
For a property near Dunwoody Village or along Mount Vernon Road, consider both sides of the fence. How does the street-facing portion meet the driveway? Can you reach the side yard without walking through planting beds? Work through those details before choosing a continuous run of one material.
A shaded or sloping yard needs a closer look at the ground. Review gaps, roots, drainage paths, and access for future maintenance. Georgia red clay and shifting soil belong in the site discussion; construction details should suit the selected system and actual conditions.
For a commercial enclosure around Perimeter Center, describe the daily routine first. Deliveries, pedestrian routes, maintenance equipment, and gate operation should be part of the layout. Confirm screening and access requirements for the property before finalizing the scope.
Replacing an older fence? Photograph both sides and show us leaning sections or gate movement. Discuss ownership and boundaries before tying into a neighbor’s fence or assuming the old line is correct.

Dunwoody Fence Planning FAQs
Does every backyard fence in Dunwoody need a permit?
The city says a fence entirely behind a residential home does not need a fence permit, but it must meet zoning requirements. Confirm how the city classifies your proposed route before relying on that exception.
What should I check for a corner-lot fence or driveway gate?
Dunwoody identifies front-yard and corner-lot work, including vehicle gates, in its permit guidance. Have the city review the location and applicable restrictions before choosing height, materials, or gate placement.
How should I plan a fence near a stream?
Ask the city to identify applicable buffer and floodplain requirements before you set the route. Do not assume an existing fence or a neighbor’s approval settles the rules for your property.
What if my HOA wants a different fence design?
Collect its current written standards before selecting materials. Compare color, height, board or picket layout, and gate details with the proposed scope. HOA review and city requirements are separate; resolve both before ordering.
Can I mix a privacy fence with an open ornamental fence?
Discuss where each style will begin and end. Match transitions, posts, and gate details deliberately. Mixing materials can address different uses, but the full layout still needs review for the property and intended purpose.
What makes a gate difficult to use on a sloped yard?
The ground can rise into the swing path or leave a changing gap beneath the gate. Check the slope, opening direction, latch position, and equipment clearance together before deciding on the gate layout.
Should I replace the fence if only a few posts are leaning?
Have the affected posts and adjoining rails or panels assessed first. Look for deterioration, damage, and ground movement. A repair may be practical, but replacing a single part will not address every cause of a leaning fence.
What helps you prepare a useful Dunwoody fence quote?
Share your address, photos, approximate fence length, and the purpose of the enclosure. Mark gate openings and mention removal, slopes, roots, access limits, and approval requirements. Ask for those items to be clear in the written scope.
