Fence Installation & Repair services in Whitestone
Whitestone lies on the north shore of Queens between the Whitestone and Throgs Neck bridges, and its lots are among the larger ones in the borough. Detached houses in Malba, Beechhurst and Robinwood often have deep yards, long driveways and views of the East River. Owners here ask for ornamental aluminum or steel along the front, driveway gates with operators, and privacy fence at the back. The ground is glacial till, a mix of clay, gravel and boulders left by the ice, so a post hole can hit a rock the size of a suitcase and need to be moved or drilled. Yards near the shore slope toward the water and take wind and salt spray. We use heavier posts on exposed runs and finishes that do not rust. Pools are common, and each needs a code barrier.

Permits and local rules
City zoning allows a wall up to 8 feet in most yards but holds a fence or wall in a front yard to 4 feet, which limits tall front piers and estate-style entrances. A fence over 6 feet at a one- or two-family house needs a Department of Buildings permit. We check the plan for your lot before pricing a front gate.
