➜ Custom Fencing
CUSTOM FENCING IN Decatur, GA.
Standard panels solve standard problems, and very few lots are standard. Lindley's Fencing designs and builds custom fencing throughout Decatur, GA, drawn around your grade, your architecture, and the way you actually use the space behind it.
THE BEST FENCE LOOKS LIKE IT CAME WITH THE HOUSE.
Custom work is not about ornament for its own sake. It is about a fence that answers the specific questions your property asks: how to hold privacy where a neighbor's second floor looks down, how to step gracefully across a terraced back yard, how to widen an opening enough for a trailer. Solve those properly and the result simply looks correct, as though it was always meant to be there.
We draw the design with you before anything is ordered, so you know exactly what will be built and what it will cost.
- Design drawn for your lot
- Mixed materials and custom heights
- Gates sized to real openings
- Free design consultation on site
➜ CUSTOM FENCING
YOUR LOT, YOUR SIGHT LINES, YOUR DESIGN.
Every custom project starts with a walk and a list of problems to solve. Perhaps a pool needs code-compliant enclosure without losing the garden view. Perhaps the front elevation calls for ornamental metal while the back needs solid privacy, and the two have to meet somewhere without looking accidental. Perhaps the driveway gate must clear a slope. We work through each item, sketch the answer, and adjust until the plan fits both the property and the budget you have set for it.
ARCHITECTURE HERE REWARDS A CAREFUL DESIGN.
Neighborhoods around Decatur, GA hold everything from craftsman bungalows to mid-century ranches to new infill builds, and a fence that suits one can look badly out of place at another. Post caps, picket profiles, rail spacing, and finish color all shift the character of a run more than most owners expect. We match those details to the house rather than defaulting to whatever the supplier stocks, which is what keeps a custom fence from reading as a catalog choice.
30 YEARS OF BUILDING WHAT NOBODY STOCKS.
Custom work rests on knowing what is actually possible. Which spans a material will carry, how far a gate can widen before it needs a wheel, which joints survive humidity, and where a design looks good on paper but fails in the ground. Building since 1992 has given us that judgment, and it means the design we hand you is one we can genuinely deliver. Shall we sketch out what your property could take?
WHAT A CUSTOM DESIGN DELIVERS
A FENCE THAT SUITS THE HOUSE
Proportion, profile, and finish chosen to complement the architecture behind them. The fence stops competing with the home and starts framing it, which is the difference between a boundary and a feature.
SOLUTIONS PANELS CANNOT PROVIDE
Odd angles, steep grades, retaining walls, tree roots, and awkward setbacks all defeat prefabricated systems. Building on site means the design bends around those obstacles instead of leaving gaps where reality did not match the catalog.
PRIVACY EXACTLY WHERE IT MATTERS
Screen the patio, leave the garden open, raise one section to block an overlooking window. Placing height and density only where they earn their keep costs less than walling in the entire property.
GATES THAT FIT REAL OPENINGS
Trailers, mowers, wheelbarrows, and moving trucks all have opinions about width. A gate sized to what genuinely passes through it saves years of turning things sideways and scraping paint off the frame.
VALUE A BUYER CAN SEE
Distinctive, well-built fencing photographs well and reads as investment rather than expense. It is one of the few outdoor improvements that a visitor notices in the first 10 seconds of arriving.
ONE PLAN, ONE CREW, ONE STANDARD
Design and build stay under the same roof, so nothing is lost between a drawing and the crew holding the level. What you approved is what gets set in the ground.
➜ WHAT WE DESIGN
OUR CUSTOM FENCING WORK
Custom projects range from a single feature gate to a whole property in mixed materials. Each begins with measurement and a drawing, and none of it comes prepackaged.
DESIGN FIRST
Custom Design Consultation
We walk the property, take measurements, listen to the problems you want solved, and sketch options with real material costs attached. You see the choices side by side before committing to any of them.
MIXED MEDIA
Mixed Material Fencing
Wood with metal accents, masonry columns between panels, horizontal slats meeting traditional pickets. Combining materials well takes careful transitions, and those junctions are where a custom build proves itself.
GRAND ENTRANCE
Custom Gates and Entryways
Feature gates, arched tops, double drive openings, and pedestrian entries built to the width and weight your access truly requires. Frames are engineered so the gate stays square for its whole life.
FINE DETAIL
Decorative Caps and Toppers
Post caps, lattice tops, scalloped runs, finials, and trim details that turn a plain line into a designed one. Small elements carry a surprising amount of the finished character.
TRICKY GROUND
Sloped and Terraced Layouts
Steep drops, retaining walls, and terraced yards each need a deliberate approach, whether racking the fence to follow the grade or stepping it in clean, intentional increments that look planned rather than forced.
COLOR MATCH
Color and Finish Matching
Stain tones matched to your deck, powder coat colors matched to window frames or a front door. Getting the finish right ties the fence into the property instead of leaving it as a separate object.
➜ THE WORD ON OUR WORK
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY.
Custom clients usually tell us the same thing at handover: it looks like what they pictured, only better resolved. Several came to us after being told their slope or their opening could not be done as drawn.
➜ Common Questions
frequently asked questions.
Custom projects raise different questions than standard installs, mostly about what is possible and how the design process runs. Here are the common ones.
What counts as a custom fence?
Anything built to a drawing rather than assembled from stock panels. That covers nonstandard heights, mixed materials, bespoke gates, decorative detailing, and layouts shaped around slopes, walls, or unusual property boundaries.
Can two fence materials be combined in one run?
Yes, and it often produces the best result. Masonry columns with wood infill, or metal at the front meeting privacy fencing at the side, work well provided the transitions are designed rather than improvised.
Can a fence be taller in some sections than others?
Absolutely, within the height limits your zoning allows. Raising one stretch to block a specific sight line while keeping the rest lower is one of the most cost-effective custom moves available.
How do you design a fence for an irregular lot?
By measuring everything first. Angles, grade changes, easements, and obstacles get mapped, then the fence is drawn to that reality, with post positions set where they work rather than at uniform intervals.
Can a fence be matched to my house or deck?
Yes. Lindley's Fencing matches stain tones, picket profiles, cap styles, and powder coat colors so a new fence in Decatur, GA reads as part of the property rather than an addition to it.
How long does a custom fence take from design to build?
Design usually takes 1 to 2 weeks including revisions, then material lead times drive the rest. Specialty metalwork and custom gates run longer than stock lumber, and Lindley's Fencing confirms dates for every Decatur, GA build before you commit.
Which fence design gives the most privacy?
Solid vertical boards with battens covering every seam block sight lines completely, even as the wood moves. Height, board overlap, and how close the fence sits to the area you are screening all affect the result.
Can a custom gate be made wide enough for a vehicle?
Yes. Double gates commonly reach 12 to 16 feet in total, and wider openings are possible with reinforced frames, drop rods, and gate wheels to carry the extra weight without racking over time.
➜ HOW WE WORK
FROM FIRST SKETCH TO FINISHED LINE, HERE IS HOW.
STEP 01
We Listen Before We Draw
The first visit is mostly questions. What bothers you about the current boundary, how you use the yard, what you want hidden, what you want kept visible, and what the budget realistically allows.
STEP 02
We Measure Everything That Matters
Grade changes, angles, existing structures, gate openings, and utility routes get recorded properly. Accurate measurement is what stops a beautiful design from meeting an immovable obstacle halfway through the build.
STEP 03
We Draw Options You Can Compare
You get more than one direction, each with materials, heights, and costs attached. Seeing the alternatives side by side makes the trade-offs obvious and the final decision much easier to make.
STEP 04
We Confirm Code And Order Material
Once the design is settled, we check heights and setbacks against local rules, arrange utility locates, and order material. Nothing is ordered until you have signed off on the drawing.
STEP 05
We Build To The Drawing
Posts are set to the plotted positions, transitions between materials are cut and fitted on site, and gates are hung and squared. Deviations only happen with your agreement, never quietly.
STEP 06
We Finish, Review, And Hand Over
Caps, trim, stain, or coating go on last, then we walk the whole line with you against the original drawing. Anything that does not match gets corrected before we leave.
