Searching for fencing near me in Berlin? A&L Fence is a family-owned fence company that builds and replaces fences in Berlin, Connecticut to fit the town's deep frost line, older homes, and local height rules.
Fencing help in Berlin
A&L Fence is a family-owned fence company, and the owner has more than 20 years of hands-on fence experience. We build and replace fences all across Berlin, Connecticut, including the Kensington and East Berlin sections of town. Berlin sits right in the middle of the state, in Hartford County, and it even holds the geographic center of Connecticut. Most homes here are single-family houses with their own yards, so a good fence adds real privacy and safety.
In Berlin the ground freezes deep every winter. Connecticut's building code sets the frost line at 42 inches. If fence posts do not go below that depth, the freezing ground can push them up and out of line. That is why we dig every post below the frost line, so your fence stays straight and solid for years. Parts of Berlin also sit along the Metacomet trap rock ridge, which means the ground can be rocky. We come ready to dig through hard soil and still hit full depth.
Many Berlin homes are older. About 6 in 10 houses here were built before 1980, so a lot of fences are worn out and ready to be replaced. Before we build, we help you follow the town's zoning rules. Berlin allows fences up to 3 feet along the front yard and up to 6 feet along the side and rear yards, and fences taller than 6 feet are not allowed. A fence also needs a Certificate of Zoning Compliance from the Zoning Department, along with a survey or plot plan. We handle that height check and the paperwork so your fence is legal from day one.

Do I need a permit for a fence in Berlin?
Yes. Berlin's Zoning Department asks for a Certificate of Zoning Compliance before you put up a fence. You submit a copy of your survey or plot plan that shows the fence and its height, length, and width. A&L Fence helps you get this done, and we make sure the fence meets the town's height limits of 3 feet in the front yard and up to 6 feet on the sides and rear.
How deep should fence posts go in Berlin?
Fence posts should go below Connecticut's frost line, which the state building code sets at 42 inches. If posts sit higher than that, winter freezing can heave them up and make your fence lean. A&L Fence sets every post below the 42 inch frost line so your fence stays straight through Berlin's cold winters.
