Fence Installation & Repair services in Cranston
Cranston stretches a long way from east to west, and the fence work changes as you cross it. Edgewood and Pawtuxet Village sit on Narragansett Bay, with older houses on modest lots and salt in the air. Auburn, Eden Park and Knightsville are close-set streets where a side yard may be only a few feet wide. Garden City and Meshanticut were laid out later with wider lawns. West of Interstate 295 the lots turn large and wooded, and long runs of fence cross stony ground and old stone walls. The Pawtuxet River forms part of the southern edge, and low yards near it stay soft after heavy rain. Across all of it, posts have to reach below the frost line, so we plan the depth and the footing before we talk about the style.

Permits and local rules
Cranston's zoning code (Chapter 17.124) lets fences up to 6 feet stand in any yard between adjoining residential properties and bars fences that needlessly go higher. The state building code does not require a building permit for a fence that is 6 feet or less.
