Narberth is a walkable borough with a strong sense of community. Neighbors chat from front porches, kids walk to friends’ houses and lots are compact. A fence here should fit that spirit: defining your space without walling off the street. 76 FENCE Main Line installs fences in Narberth (19072) that feel neighborly out front and private where it counts.
Front yards: keep it friendly
For porch-front homes, a low picket fence is hard to beat. It frames the garden, keeps small kids and dogs from darting toward the sidewalk and still lets you wave to the neighbors. White vinyl pickets stay bright with a quick rinse, while painted wood offers a traditional look. Black aluminum is another clean option that almost disappears against landscaping.

Backyards: make every foot count
Compact lots mean the backyard is often your main outdoor room. A privacy fence in cedar or vinyl creates a secluded space for dinners and play. If a full-height wall would feel boxed in, consider a semi-privacy style or a lattice top. We also pay close attention to gate placement, since side-yard gates on small lots need to clear bikes, bins and mowers.
Good fences, good neighbors
With homes close together, it’s worth talking with the folks next door before you build. We can help you think through where the line is, which way the finished side faces and how to handle shared runs. Our article on who owns the fence between neighbors covers the basics.
Materials that suit a compact lot
On a small lot, you see your fence up close every day, so the material matters. Cedar brings warmth and texture that pairs well with older porch-front homes. Vinyl keeps a clean, bright look with almost no upkeep. Composite combines the look of wood with low maintenance. For pet owners, we make sure the bottom of the fence sits close to grade and gates latch securely every time; our best fence for dogs guide has more tips.
Narberth Borough permits
Narberth is its own borough with its own zoning and permit process. We don’t assume what’s allowed; rules vary, and we check them for you, then prepare and submit the application. We also submit the PA One Call (811) utility locate at least three business days before digging, and set posts below the frost line, typically 30″–36″ in our area; local code governs.

Narberth-area FAQ
- How long will my yard be torn up? Most residential installs take about a day or two on site once materials arrive, and we haul away old fencing when you need it removed.

Low-maintenance ideas for busy households
If you’d rather spend weekends on the porch than painting a fence, consider white vinyl pickets out front and vinyl or composite privacy panels in back. Black aluminum is another nearly maintenance-free option. Each is backed by manufacturer warranty coverage, which we offer and honor on every fence we install. We’ll bring samples to your walkthrough so you can see colors and textures next to your house before deciding.
