Fence Installation in Wilmington & New Castle County
Union Park Landscaping installs wood, vinyl, and aluminum fencing for homes across New Castle County — privacy fences, picket fences, pool-code aluminum, and pet fencing. A fence is only as good as its posts: we dig below frost line, set posts in concrete, and string every run straight, so the fence you get in year ten looks like the one you paid for in year one.
We handle the full job: layout, utility marking (Miss Utility of Delmarva), permits where required, tear-out of old fencing, and haul-away.
Time for a new fence?
- Posts are leaning or panels are sagging
- A new dog or a pool means containment is now a requirement
- The neighbor's new deck overlooks your patio
- Boards are rotting faster than you can replace them
- Your HOA or insurance flagged the old fence
How we work
- Layout & quote. We confirm your property line assumptions, mark the run, discuss style and height, and quote the full job in writing — including gates and tear-out.
- Utilities & posts. Utilities get marked before digging. Posts are set below frost line in concrete and left to cure so nothing shifts.
- Panels, gates & cleanup. Panels or boards go up straight and level, gates are hung to swing true, and we leave the site cleaner than we found it.
Built for Delaware conditions
New Castle County requires fences to meet zoning height rules (typically 4 ft front yard, 7 ft rear), and pool barriers must meet Delaware's pool code. Wilmington city lots often have tight setbacks and shared lines — we help you confirm placement before anyone digs, and we always call Miss Utility first.

Fencing questions, answered
How much does a fence cost in Delaware?

Do I need a permit to build a fence in New Castle County?
Many residential fences under the zoning height limits don't need a building permit, but city of Wilmington properties and pool enclosures have specific requirements. We confirm what applies to your address as part of the free estimate.
How close to the property line can I build a fence?
In most of New Castle County you can build up to the line, but you're responsible for knowing where the line is. We recommend locating your survey pins or getting a survey for tight lots — we'll walk it with you.
Wood or vinyl — which fence should I choose?
Wood costs less upfront and looks natural but needs staining every few years. Vinyl costs roughly 25–40% more but needs no maintenance beyond washing. For Delaware humidity, vinyl and aluminum age best; cedar outperforms pressure-treated pine if you want wood.
