Add Curb Appeal and Character to Your Property

A decorative fence is the frame around your home: a crisp picket line along the front walk, ornamental aluminum tracing the garden, a split rail defining the property edge. It marks the boundary while making everything inside it look more finished.

The best decorative fencing balances beauty with the practical: front-yard height limits, HOA style rules, and gates that match the fence’s lines. We design and install all of it, in materials that hold their looks.

Which Fence Materials Work Best for a Decorative Fence?

Three proven options — matched to the look you want out front and the maintenance you’re willing to sign up for.

Most Elegant

Aluminum Fence

Ornamental profiles and powder-coat colors deliver the wrought-iron look with zero rust.

Classic Charm

Wood Picket

The timeless NJ front-yard fence — paintable, customizable, and full of character.

No Maintenance

Vinyl Picket

The classic picket look that never needs scraping or repainting.

What to Know Before You Decide

Front yard height limits

Most NJ towns cap front-yard fences around 4 feet. Decorative styles are designed for exactly this scale.

HOA review

Style, color, and material often need HOA sign-off. Bring the design to the board before we schedule installation.

Color & finish

Black aluminum recedes and lets plantings shine; white picket makes the fence itself the feature. Choose based on what you want noticed.

Gate design

The gate is the handshake of the fence — arched tops, matching finials, and quality hinges keep the design coherent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Black ornamental aluminum leads for its iron look and zero maintenance, with white picket (wood or vinyl) the classic choice for front yards and cottages.

Front-yard decorative fencing usually runs 3–4 feet, matching most towns’ front-yard limits. Garden and pool-surround ornamental fencing runs 4–5 feet.
Yes — ornamental aluminum with tighter picket spacing (or a puppy-picket bottom) contains pets and children while keeping the open, elegant look.
Well-chosen fencing consistently improves curb appeal and buyer first impressions. A crisp front fence line photographs well — which matters when every listing starts online.
Aluminum and vinyl: essentially none beyond an occasional rinse. Painted wood picket needs repainting every 3–5 years — part of its charm for some, a reason to pick vinyl for others.
