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.

In the borough itself, lots are narrow and deep, houses sit close to the street, and a fence is usually about closing a rear yard that backs directly onto a neighbour's. Six-foot cedar and vinyl privacy fence does most of that work. Front and corner-lot fencing is where the borough's height limits bite, and it is worth confirming those before choosing a style rather than after.

Outside the borough the properties open up and the conversation changes to post-and-rail frontage, paddock fencing and long property-line runs. Ground here is the Red Clay Creek watershed — heavy clay in places, genuinely wet in the low ground near the creek and its tributaries — and clay that holds water around a post footing is the single biggest reason fences in this area lean within a few winters. Footing depth and drainage matter more here than the choice of species above grade.
