The right fence depends on how you use the property, the look you want, the amount of maintenance you prefer, and the conditions at the site. Prime Fence installs a wide range of fence types across Metro Detroit, Downriver, and greater Ann Arbor. From our Carleton and Livonia locations, we help customers choose practical fencing for privacy, pets, children, pools, gardens, driveways, businesses, and agricultural properties.
Vinyl fencing
Vinyl fencing offers a clean, consistent appearance and is a popular choice for privacy and low routine maintenance. It works well for many residential yards and can provide a finished look without regular painting or staining. We can discuss privacy heights, gate locations, and how the layout will fit your yard.
Wood fencing
Wood fencing brings a natural look and flexible design options. It can suit traditional homes, gardens, privacy areas, and properties where a painted or stained finish is part of the plan. Michigan moisture, snow, sun, and freeze-thaw cycles make proper construction and ongoing maintenance important.
Chain link fencing
Chain link fencing is a durable, practical option for pets, play areas, boundaries, and utility spaces. It provides security and visibility and can be configured for residential or commercial needs. We can review height, gates, access, and whether privacy features are appropriate for the site.
Aluminum fencing
Aluminum fencing creates an open, refined boundary while preserving visibility. It is often considered for front yards, pool areas, landscaping, and properties where an ornamental appearance matters. Gate placement and pool-safety requirements should be discussed early in the design.
Composite, agricultural, pool, and garden fencing
Composite fencing can be a good fit when you want a distinctive look and a material designed for outdoor use. Agricultural fencing serves larger properties, fields, animals, and utility needs. Pool fencing should be planned around applicable Michigan safety requirements, self-closing or self-latching gate details, and the specific pool layout. Garden fencing can define planting areas, paths, and smaller boundaries without overwhelming the landscape.
A fence project also involves more than material selection. We consider property lines, grade, drainage, access, existing structures, and nearby utilities. Michigan's Miss Dig requirements apply before digging, and local communities may have rules for height, setbacks, permits, or pool barriers. We can help you identify the questions to confirm before installation.

Which fence is best for privacy?
Vinyl and wood are common privacy choices, but the best fit depends on height, layout, gates, local rules, and your preferred maintenance routine.
