For over 40 years, America’s Backyard has been the go-to fence company for homeowners and businesses in Plainfield, IL, and surrounding Will and Kendall County communities. We specialize in residential and commercial fence installations using premium cedar, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link materials.
We know Plainfield’s neighborhoods—from the historic homes near downtown and Settlers’ Park to modern subdivisions like Grande Park and Clearwater Springs. Our fences can be found near Plainfield Central High School, along Route 59, and throughout the village’s growing west side.
We are fully familiar with Plainfield’s municipal fencing regulations, which require permits for nearly all new installations. In most residential zones, the maximum height is 6 feet in rear and side yards and 4 feet in front yards. Corner lots must maintain “sight triangle” visibility for traffic safety. All fence applications require a current plat of survey with the proposed fence drawn to scale, and the Village prohibits barbed wire, electric fencing, and certain non-decorative chain link in front yards. Properties near floodplains or detention ponds often require additional review by the Engineering Department. Our team manages the entire permitting process with Plainfield’s Building Department, ensuring every project is code-compliant, approved quickly, and built to last.
From quiet cul-de-sacs in Walkers Grove to large-lot properties in Shenandoah, we provide residential fencing that complements your home and fits your needs. Vinyl is a top choice for newer neighborhoods where low maintenance and uniformity are required, while cedar delivers timeless curb appeal for established areas. We also install pool fencing that meets Plainfield’s safety standards, including self-closing gates and non-climbable designs.
Businesses along Route 59, 143rd Street, and downtown Plainfield rely on us for durable, secure, and attractive commercial fencing. We offer everything from chain link with privacy slats for industrial sites to ornamental aluminum for office complexes, retail centers, and restaurants. All installations are tailored to comply with Plainfield’s zoning and commercial property guidelines.
Our custom installations are designed for Plainfield’s mix of soil types, from clay-heavy lots to newer developments with engineered grading. We frequently install:
Our permitting services include:
Installing a fence in Plainfield requires both craftsmanship and knowledge of local requirements. We dig post holes to the proper frost depth, use high-strength commercial-grade concrete, and adapt installations for the area’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. We also know the details—like setback rules along major roads, restrictions for corner lots, and how to navigate HOA design boards efficiently.
Navigating Plainfield’s comprehensive fence ordinances requires specialized local knowledge that our team has refined through thousands of successful installations since 1985. As your dedicated fence company Plainfield relies on, we expertly manage all aspects of Village Code compliance, including securing permits through Plainfield’s Building Division which mandates detailed site plans showing precise property lines, easement boundaries, and utility locations.
For properties near critical infrastructure like the DuPage River watershed, we implement specialized drainage solutions that prevent violations – a crucial consideration given Plainfield’s strict enforcement against structures that impede water flow. Our team excels in interpreting Plainfield’s nuanced height restrictions: maintaining the village-mandated 4-foot maximum for front yards while designing 6-foot privacy solutions for rear/side yards where permitted, with particular attention to corner lot visibility triangles near high-traffic intersections like 135th Street and Route 59. We’re also well-versed in Plainfield’s unique historical district requirements for neighborhoods like the Downtown Conservation Area, where material choices and design aesthetics must align with preservation guidelines.
Our familiarity with Plainfield inspectors, zoning staff, and HOA committees ensures your project moves forward without delays. We’ve served neighborhoods all over the village—from Grande Park and Heritage Meadows to Arbor Creek and Winding Creek—providing fences that meet the highest standards in both quality and compliance.
America’s Backyard is the fence company Plainfield trusts for beautiful, durable, and fully code-compliant fencing solutions. Whether you’re upgrading your home’s privacy, securing your business, or meeting safety codes, we’ll handle everything from permits to final inspection.
