30 YEARS OF STRAIGHT LINES AND SQUARE CORNERS.
Since 1992 we have set posts across Atlanta, Georgia and the neighborhoods around it, and the work has not changed: dig deep, brace true, and use material that earns its keep. Our crews handle residential yards and commercial perimeters to the same standard. We build for how it looks in year 10, not week one.
A fence built right disappears into your routine and simply does its job for decades.

DECATUR YARDS ASK MORE OF A FENCE THAN MOST.
Red clay holds water, then bakes hard, and a post set carelessly in it will lean by the second summer. Add mature oaks pushing roots under the line, humid months that feed rot at the base of every picket, and the sudden storms that come off the Piedmont, and you have soil and weather that punish shortcuts. Older neighborhoods bring another wrinkle: sloped lots, tight side yards, and property lines that were drawn long before anyone owned a fence stretcher. We plan around all of it before the first hole opens.
THE PART YOU NEVER SEE DECIDES EVERYTHING.
Panels get the attention, but posts carry the fence. We set them below the frost and drainage zone, pack the footing so water moves away instead of pooling, and space them for the span the material can actually carry. Hardware is chosen to survive Georgia humidity rather than to shave a few dollars off a bid. Do that groundwork correctly and the visible half stays straight on its own.

➜ OUR FENCING SERVICES
WHAT WE DO
From a single sagging gate to a full commercial perimeter, we cover the whole range of fencing work under one roof, in materials that suit your property, your budget, and your neighborhood.
Fence Installation
New fencing in wood, vinyl, chain link, or ornamental metal, laid out to your survey line and built to carry its own weight. We handle layout, post setting, panels, and gates so the finished run reads clean from both sides.
Fence Repairs
Leaning posts, cracked pickets, storm damage, and gates that no longer latch. We fix the section that failed and check what caused it, so the same panel is not back on our repair list 2 seasons from now.
Fence Maintenance
Cleaning, staining, sealing, hardware adjustment, and seasonal checks that add years to a fence you already paid for. Small upkeep now costs far less than a rebuilt run of panels later.
Custom Fencing
Designs drawn for your property rather than pulled off a shelf. Mixed materials, decorative caps, height changes across a slope, and gates sized to the opening you actually have, all built to fit the house behind them.
Security Fencing
Perimeter protection for businesses, warehouses, schools, and homes that need more than a boundary marker. Taller runs, tighter mesh, reinforced gates, and layouts that remove the easy footholds an intruder looks for.
Picket & Lattice Fencing
Open, welcoming fencing that defines a yard without walling it off. Spaced pickets in wood or vinyl, scalloped or straight tops, and lattice panels that add height and shade while keeping air and light moving.
➜ WHAT DECATUR PROPERTY OWNERS SAY
LINDLEY'S FENCING REVIEWS.
The comments that mean the most to us are the quiet ones: the gate that still swings true, the line that has not shifted, the crew that cleaned up before leaving. Neighbors who watched us work on one yard often call us for theirs, and that word of mouth still fills most of our schedule.

SERVING DECATUR AND GREATER ATLANTA.
We are based on Wren Road in Decatur, GA, and we work outward from there across DeKalb County, Georgia and the wider Atlanta metro. Being local matters more in this trade than people expect, because permit rules, setback requirements, and soil behavior all change from one municipality to the next.
Familiar ground also means faster scheduling and shorter drives when a gate fails or a storm drops a limb across your line. Ask us about your street and we will tell you straight whether it falls inside our regular route.

➜ Common Questions
frequently asked questions.
These are the questions property owners ask us most often before a project starts. If yours is not covered here, send it through our contact page and we will answer it plainly.
How long does a wood fence last?
A pressure-treated pine fence generally lasts 15 to 20 years, while cedar can reach 20 to 30. Installation quality and upkeep matter as much as the species, since sealed wood on properly set posts easily outlives neglected wood.
How deep should fence posts be set?
Roughly a third of the post length should sit underground, which usually means 24 to 36 inches for a residential fence. Taller privacy runs and gate posts go deeper, because wind load and swinging weight pull hardest at the base.
Do I need a permit to build a fence in DeKalb County, Georgia?
Many DeKalb County properties require a permit, and height limits differ between front and rear yards. Rules also change inside city limits and within homeowner associations, so Lindley's Fencing confirms the requirements for your address in Decatur, GA first.
How tall can a residential fence be?
Front yard fences are commonly capped around 4 feet, while side and rear yards typically allow 6 to 8 feet. Corner lots often carry extra sight-line restrictions, so the answer depends on your exact parcel and jurisdiction.
Do I need a property survey before installing a fence?
Georgia does not require one statewide, but we strongly recommend it. A current survey settles where your line truly sits, keeps the fence out of an easement, and prevents the neighbor dispute that follows a misplaced post.
