For nearly 50 years, America’s Backyard has been serving Shorewood and the greater Will County area with expert fence installation. From family-friendly subdivisions near Hammel Woods and DuPage River Park to newer developments around Vertin Boulevard and River Crossing, our fences can be found across the village. We’ve also completed projects near Troy Middle School, the Shorewood Village Hall, and retail centers along Jefferson Street and Route 59.
Shorewood’s municipal code requires permits for all new fence construction. Homeowners must submit a current plat of survey with the proposed fence layout, and fences must be installed entirely within property lines. The Village typically allows six-foot fencing in side and rear yards, while front yard fences are restricted to four feet and must not obstruct sight lines near driveways or intersections. Chain link fencing is prohibited in front yards and requires special review in certain subdivisions.
Properties along the DuPage River or within floodplains may require engineering approval to address drainage and soil stability. Our team is experienced with these requirements and manages the entire permitting process through Shorewood’s Building Department to make sure your project is code-compliant from start to finish.
Shorewood homeowners choose cedar fencing for privacy and natural charm, particularly in established neighborhoods near Hammel Woods and Wynstone. Vinyl fencing has become a popular choice in new subdivisions like River Crossing and Edgewater for its clean appearance and low maintenance. For upscale properties or those with scenic views of the DuPage River, ornamental aluminum is a favorite because it offers security without obstructing the natural landscape.
Businesses along key commercial corridors like Jefferson Street and Route 59 trust America’s Backyard for fencing solutions that expertly balance durability, security, and aesthetic appeal. We provide a full range of commercial-grade options tailored to diverse business needs—including heavy-duty chain link with privacy slats for warehouses and service yards, elegant ornamental aluminum for professional office complexes, and custom-designed solutions for restaurants, retail spaces, medical facilities, and community centers.
Shorewood’s terrain presents unique challenges, from clay-heavy soils that require deeper post installation to floodplain areas along the DuPage River that demand engineered drainage solutions. In neighborhoods with HOA restrictions, such as Kipling Estates, materials and styles are often regulated for consistency.
We work closely with both the Village and HOAs to ensure approvals go smoothly. Our team handles everything—permit submissions, variance requests for corner lots, and compliance with setback rules—so you can focus on enjoying your finished fence.
Every installation is carefully planned to meet Shorewood’s specific zoning codes and commercial property standards. Whether your business is located near the DuPage River, in a bustling retail center, or adjacent to residential areas, we ensure that your fence complements the surrounding environment while delivering functionality.
From initial design to final inspection, our team handles permit acquisition, material selection, and installation with precision—giving you a barrier that not only protects your investment but also enhances your property’s curb appeal.
Building a fence in Shorewood requires more than simply choosing a material—it demands a deep understanding of local ordinances, environmental conditions, and community expectations. That’s why our process begins with a detailed site evaluation, assessing soil composition, drainage patterns, and micro-climate factors unique to your property. We dig posts well below the frost line, use high-strength concrete for unwavering stability, and engineer every fence to withstand Illinois’ challenging freeze-thaw cycles and seasonal wind loads.
Our team’s extensive familiarity with Shorewood’s building inspectors, HOA design review boards, and regional soil conditions ensures a smoother, faster process with fewer delays. We’ve successfully completed installations across the community—from residential properties near Black Road and River Road to commercial sites off Jefferson Street and Route 59. Each project reflects our unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, code compliance, and customer satisfaction, giving you a fence that not only looks great but performs flawlessly for years to come.
