Bedford's Go-To Fence Installation Team

Looking for a reliable fence installer in Bedford, MA? Able Fence Co. has been building quality fences across MetroWest for over 33 years. We're based in Marlborough and serve Bedford often — we know the town, the soil, and the local rules that matter when putting up a fence here.

Bedford is a friendly town with a nice mix of older homes near the town center and newer neighborhoods spread out along the Great Road and Concord Road. Whether your yard backs up to woods near the Narrow Gauge Rail Trail, sits on a busy stretch near the shops, or rests on a quiet street off Springs Road, we build fences that match your property and hold up through every New England season.

We handle full fence installations only. No selling loose materials, no small patch-up jobs. From the first post hole to the final cap, everything is built on-site by our crew using materials we stand behind. Fully insured, free consultations, and a promise that you will be happy with the finished job.

Fence Types We Install in Bedford

Every property in Bedford is a little different. Some folks want privacy from the neighbors. Others need to keep dogs in the yard or kids safe around a pool. We install all the main fence types and help you pick the right one for your yard.

PVC / Vinyl Fences Bedfort

Vinyl is the easiest fence to take care of. It does not rot, warp, or need painting — ever. Years later it still looks like the day we put it up. We carry white, tan, and wood-grain styles in privacy, semi-privacy, and picket designs. For Bedford homeowners who want a clean look without the yearly upkeep, vinyl is hard to beat. It works great along property lines, around pools, and as a backyard privacy screen.

Cedar Wood Fences Bedfort

Cedar has been the top fence wood in New England for a long time, and for good reason. It stands up to rot and bugs on its own, without any chemical treatment. On Bedford's wooded lots and classic New England homes, a cedar fence fits right in. We build privacy fences, regular picket fences, split-rail designs, and custom board-on-board styles. Cedar turns a nice silver-grey over time, or you can stain it to keep the warm honey color.

Chain Link Fences Bedfort

When you want a strong, simple fence at a fair price, chain link does the job. It is tough, lasts for decades, and keeps your view open if that matters to you. We put it up a lot in Bedford for big backyards, dog runs, sports areas, and business properties. Regular galvanized steel holds up well, and we also offer vinyl-coated black or green if you want it to blend into the yard a bit more.

Aluminum Fences Bedfort

Aluminum gives you that classic wrought-iron look without the rust, peeling, or heavy weight. It is strong, looks sharp from the street, and needs almost no care. It is a great pick for front yards, driveway borders, garden areas, and pool fences in Bedford. It comes in black, bronze, and white. We install both home-grade and commercial-grade aluminum, depending on what the job needs.

Fence Permits and Rules in Bedford, MA

Bedford has its own zoning rules that cover fences. Here is what is good to know before you start:

Fences 6 feet or under: Usually do not need a building permit in Bedford for homes.
Fences over 6 feet: You will need a permit from the Bedford Building Department.
Front yard fences: There are often height limits near the road. Check with the town before planning a tall fence in the front.
Property line setbacks: Bedford has rules about how close a fence can sit to your property line and the road. Make sure your lot lines are clear before digging.
Corner lots: There may be sight-line rules at intersections that limit fence height or where it can go near a corner.
Call 811 before digging: Massachusetts law says you have to call Dig Safe at least 72 hours before any digging so they can mark underground lines.

We can walk you through the basics, but for questions about your exact lot you can reach the Bedford Building Department at Town Hall, 10 Mudge Way. They handle permits and can tell you what applies to your address.

Working With Bedford's Ground

One thing about Bedford — the ground is not always easy to work with. There is rocky New England soil in a lot of spots, and some low, wet areas near the brooks and wetlands. Roots from big oaks and pines can get in the way of post holes too. We deal with this every week across MetroWest. Our crew knows how to set posts solid in rocky ground, handle slopes and soft spots without the fence looking crooked, and work around anything in the way without cutting corners.

Fences for Bedford Yards

Bedford has a good mix of lot sizes, from smaller yards near the center to larger properties out on the edges of town. On longer runs, the quality of the material and the spacing of the posts really matter. A cheap fence on a long run starts to sag in just a few years. We space our posts right, use heavier materials for long runs, and make sure every section is straight and level from one end to the other. Whether you are closing in a backyard for the dogs or running a fence along a tree line, we build it to last.

Pool Fences That Meet Massachusetts Code

If you have a pool or plan to put one in, Massachusetts requires a fence that meets certain safety rules — a minimum height, gates that close and latch on their own, no footholds to climb, and the right spacing between pickets or mesh. We build pool fences in Bedford that pass inspection the first time. Aluminum and vinyl are both popular around pools. We will help you pick a style that looks good and keeps kids and pets safe.
