For over 40 years, America’s Backyard has served New Lenox and the surrounding area with quality fence installation. Our work can be seen across subdivisions like Cherry Hill Meadows, Windemere West, and sections near Silver Cross Hospital, all the way to properties close to the Metra station. The Village of New Lenox requires a Miscellaneous Permit for nearly all fence installations, and you’ll need to submit a completed permit application through the BS&A Online system or via the Building Permits & Forms section of the Village website. That permit must include a current plat of survey showing where the fence will be placed, including distances to property lines and any drainage or utility easements that run through your yard.
In New Lenox, rear and side yard fences are generally allowed up to six feet in height so long as they are inside the property line and clear of easements. Front yard fences are restricted to four feet and must respect visibility at driveways and intersections, avoiding obstruction of sightlines. Chain link fencing is typically prohibited in front yards. For homes in neighborhoods like Liberty Junior High area or near Hickory Creek Preserve, cedar is often selected for its natural look; vinyl is chosen in newer developments for its low maintenance, and ornamental aluminum for high-end properties or homes along Route 30 that want style with security. When pools are involved, safety-compliant fencing, self-closing gates, and correct latch height are required under village code.
Our experience in New Lenox includes understanding the type of soil common in this area — with clay-rich subsoil that tends to shift in freeze-thaw cycles — which means posts must be set deep and with proper concrete footings. HOA governed areas like Leigh Creek and Windemere West often have additional design criteria for materials, style, and color, which we always factor in early to avoid surprises. For corner lots or irregularly shaped parcels, variance requests are sometimes needed if the desired fence exceeds height or setback standards. We handle the permit application, HOA review, and final inspection work so that every installation is done right and approved without unexpected delays.
