Fence Replacement for Kennett Square Properties
JHL Fence Company installs fence replacement throughout Kennett Square, Pennsylvania and the surrounding Chester County area. Full tear-out, haul-away and replacement of failed or aging fence lines.
Kennett Square sits in the southwest corner of Chester County, where the borough's tight Victorian grid gives way almost immediately to the mushroom farms, nurseries and open ground of East Marlborough and Kennett Township. Those two settings want completely different fences, and the split runs right through our work here.
The clay soils in the Red Clay Creek watershed hold water against post footings, so frost heave is a live problem in Kennett Square. Footing depth and drainage do more for fence life here than the material above grade.
Every Kennett Square installation is filed with the township, and where the property is in an HOA we prepare the architectural review submission as well. We are a licensed and insured Pennsylvania home improvement contractor (#PA035784) and the work is backed by our workmanship guarantee.
What Kennett Square Properties Need
Around Historic Kennett Square borough, Longwood Gardens, the Red Clay Creek valley, the practical considerations for fence replacement are grade, existing planting and how the property line actually runs — three things that are far easier to resolve on a site walk than on a plan.
The most common thing worth changing is the line itself. Older fences frequently sit inside the true property line, sometimes by a foot or more, either because the original installer played safe or because a survey was never done. Replacement is the moment to recover that, and it is why we recommend confirming the property line before tear-out rather than after.

Common questions
Fence Replacement in Kennett Square — FAQs
How much does fence replacement cost in Kennett Square, PA?
Cost depends on linear footage, the material and height you choose, the number of gates and how much grade the line crosses. We provide a free written estimate for Kennett Square properties after walking the line on site, rather than quoting a per-foot figure that changes once we see the ground.
Do I need a permit for fence replacement in Kennett Square?
In most cases yes — fence permits in Chester County are issued by the township or borough, and the requirement differs between neighbouring municipalities. We file the application for your Kennett Square address as part of the job, along with any HOA architectural submission.
Do you remove the old fence?
Yes. Tear-out, haul-away and disposal of the old fence are part of a replacement. Old concrete footings come out as well — leaving them in the ground constrains where new posts can be set.
Do I need a permit to replace an existing fence?
Usually yes. Most municipalities in Chester and Delaware County permit fence replacement, and a change in height, material or line makes it near-certain. We file the application as part of the job.
Should I replace my fence in the same place?
Not necessarily. Older fences often sit inside the true property line, and gate positions frequently no longer match how the yard gets used. Replacement is the cheapest moment to correct both. We recommend confirming the property line before tear-out rather than after.
