A fence does more than mark a boundary. Done right, it adds privacy, security, and structure that ties the whole property together. Blue Tree designs and installs fencing as part of your landscape, not as a bolt-on, so materials, grade, and plantings work together. For 43 years, our team has built fences that hold straight and true across Southeastern Pennsylvania's clay soil and freeze-thaw winters.
Most fence companies set posts and leave. Blue Tree designs the fence into the property, then installs it to last. A Blue Tree designer looks at how the fence relates to grade, drainage, plantings, the pool, and the lines of the house, then specifies materials and a layout that fits. Posts are set below the frost line and packed for our freeze-thaw cycles, so the fence does not heave or lean after the first hard winter. Blue Tree has installed fencing across Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, Berks, and Philadelphia Counties since 1983, handles township permits and property-line questions, and can soften the fence with planting from the same plan.

Fence cost depends on material, height, length, and site conditions. As a rough guide, most Blue Tree fence projects run from about $30 to $80 or more per linear foot installed, as of 2026, with aluminum and high-end privacy fencing at the upper end and split-rail at the lower. Every project starts with a free on-site consultation and an itemized proposal, so you see the full number before you commit.
Often, yes. Many townships across our service area require a permit for fence installation, and most enforce height limits, setbacks, and special rules for pool-code fencing. Requirements vary by municipality. Blue Tree confirms the rules for your property during the site visit and handles the permit so the fence is built to code.
In Southeastern Pennsylvania, posts should be set below the frost line, generally around 36 inches or deeper, and packed so they do not heave during freeze-thaw cycles. Shallow-set posts are the main reason fences lean and sag after a winter or two. Blue Tree sets and braces posts for our soil and climate so the fence stays straight.
For full privacy, solid board, board-on-board, and panel fencing block sight lines best. Where a softer look is preferred, an evergreen hedgerow can screen a property just as well over time. Blue Tree can do either, or combine them, and will design the option that fits your property and budget.
Yes. Pool enclosures have specific code requirements for height, gaps, and self-closing, self-latching gates, and those rules vary by township. Blue Tree builds pool-code fencing and coordinates it with the pool design, so the enclosure is compliant and looks intentional rather than tacked on.
