Aluminum Fencing for Front Yards
Why Aluminum Fencing for Front Yards Makes Sense
There are plenty of contractors out there. Some will answer the phone, and some might show up. At Hurricane Fence, we show up, follow through, and take care of your property like it’s our own. We’ve been doing it this way for over 25 years.
We’re fully licensed, insured, and certified across all our service areas. Our team has installed aluminum fencing for front yards on quiet cul-de-sacs, busy city blocks, and everywhere in between. We’ve earned a reputation for reliability because we don’t cut corners or bounce from job to job without finishing the work.
You won’t get vague timelines or rushed conversations. You’ll get experienced crews, clear communication, and a finished fence that stands the test of time.
Custom Options for Aluminum Fencing
Every front yard is different. That’s why we build aluminum fences to suit your home’s size, layout, and character. You might want traditional spear-topped pickets or something more modern. We’ll go over your options, walk the perimeter with you, and build a solution that matches your goals.
Color options usually include black and bronze, but we can talk through special finishes if needed. Gates can be sized for pedestrians or driveways, and we can add custom hardware for extra security or style.
You’ll also get to pick the height and spacing of your pickets. Want a tighter look for pets? We’ve got panels that close the gap. Want something more open? We’ll make it work.
What to Expect During Installation
The process starts with an appointment. One of our estimators will meet with you at the property, measure the area, and answer your questions. You’ll get a detailed quote that reflects exactly what we discussed, no guesswork or padded numbers.
Once you give the go-ahead, we handle permits and coordinate with Miss Utility to mark underground lines. When it’s time to start, our crew shows up on schedule and installs the posts first. After the concrete cures, we return to install the fence panels and gates.
You’ll be kept in the loop the entire time. If anything needs adjusting, your project manager will work with you directly. We don’t disappear or leave you wondering what comes next.
Easy Maintenance for a Long-Term Payoff
Aluminum fencing for front yards is about as low-maintenance as it gets. There’s no paint to chip and no rust to scrub. A quick rinse with a hose gets rid of dust, grass, and pollen.
Even after years of exposure to the elements, aluminum doesn’t flake, fade, or warp. That makes it ideal for areas that get strong sunlight or wet seasons. If you want to avoid weekend projects and maintenance chores, this is your kind of fence.
Gates come with durable hinges and latches designed for outdoor use. If you ever need a repair, we’re here for that too, but most customers don’t have to call us back for anything besides referrals.
Questions We Hear Often
How long have you been in business?
Since 1994. We started small in Richmond and have grown into one of the most trusted fence companies in the region
When will the job begin?
After permits are ready and underground lines are marked, we’ll contact you with a start date. Weather can sometimes affect timing, but we stay in touch.
Who will I talk to during the project?
Your assigned estimator or project manager will be your main contact. They’ll check in and be available for questions.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We take cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Payments can be made over the phone or by mail.
Will this type of fence increase my property value?
It often does. A well-built fence adds function and enhances curbside appearance, which many buyers look for.
Do I need permission from my neighbor?
If the fence stays on your side of the property line, no permission is needed. If it crosses the line, it becomes a shared issue. It’s best to know your boundaries ahead of time.

What happens at the first appointment?

How long does it take to finish?
Most jobs are completed in two phases: post setting and final installation. The concrete usually needs a few days to cure before we return.

Yes. We install both walk gates and double gates, depending on what you need.
Do aluminum fences come with warranties?
Yes. Most manufacturers offer extended material warranties. We’ll explain the terms when we go over your quote.
How tall can I make my front yard fence?
In most residential zones, fences in front yards are limited to 4 feet. We’ll confirm the rules for your address before we begin.
Is aluminum better than wrought iron?
Aluminum gives you a similar look without the upkeep. It won’t rust or peel and usually costs less to install.
The Story Behind Hurricane Fence
Hurricane Fence began as a small operation in Fulton Hill, Richmond back in 1994. Two fence professionals with one truck and a lot of hustle started building fences for local homes and businesses.
Over time, that tiny company became one of the top fence providers in the Mid-Atlantic. We’ve worked on everything from military bases to backyard gardens. While we’ve grown, we’ve held tight to the way we started, by showing up, doing honest work, earning repeat business.
