Fence Installation & Repair services in Skokie
Two kinds of block make up most of Skokie. South of Oakton Street and near downtown there are brick bungalows, two-flats and small apartment buildings with alleys, much like the Chicago neighborhoods next door. Further north and west the houses are post-war ranches, split levels and Georgians on wider lots with no alley, where the back fence often runs along a utility easement. That second kind of lot needs more care before digging, because cable, phone and power can all share the rear strip. The North Shore Channel and the old rail corridors on the east side add commercial and light industrial fence work. Soil is heavy clay nearly everywhere in the village. We set posts below frost depth and keep the bottom of wood fences off the ground, since these flat yards drain slowly in spring.

Permits and local rules
Skokie regulates fences in its village code (Chapter 22, Article IX). Check with the village before you order: it sets the height for each yard and decides what paperwork your fence needs. We confirm the current rule for your address before we quote.
