Vinyl fence projects in North Jersey
Every fence starts with the yard: where the neighbors are, how the ground slopes, and what you want to keep in or out. These projects show how we handled it, from a lattice-topped privacy fence above a retaining wall to a worn-out wood fence that finally had to go.
Roselle, NJ
White vinyl privacy fence with a lattice top in Roselle, NJ
The situation
A white vinyl privacy fence with a lattice-topped upper section now encloses this backyard, running above a block retaining wall beside a paver patio. The panel tops step at the posts to follow the ground, and a gate completes the run.

Ridgefield Park, NJ

Fence projects: common questions
Can a fence be built above a retaining wall?
Often yes, but the wall design and drainage matter, and many towns count the combined height of wall and fence.
Can a new vinyl fence meet my neighbor’s existing fence?
Yes, it can end at a post next to an existing fence. Agree on a shared line with your neighbor first.
Where should a gate go?
Where you need access and where the ground is level enough for the gate to swing.
