Wood Privacy
Six-foot wood privacy is the standard request in Pell City, Moody, and Springville subdivisions where backyards sit close together and the main ask is a solid screen between neighbors.

St. Clair County runs from the I-20 commuter belt in the south, through Moody and on to Pell City at the county's business core, north toward Ashville and Springville where the property profile shifts to rural acreage and small farms, and east toward the Coosa River near Ragland. The Logan Martin Lake corridor follows the Coosa south from Pell City through Cropwell and Riverside, driving steady demand for lake decks, composite surfaces, aluminum pool fence, and gazebos.
Popular Styles in St. Clair County
Aluminum Pool Fence
Logan Martin Lake homes and pool-equipped properties along the I-20 corridor lean on ornamental aluminum for code-compliant enclosures with self-closing gates and unobstructed shoreline sight lines.
Farm Fence
North county acreage around Springville, Odenville, and Ashville runs cattle, horses, and small livestock. Woven wire, field fence, and high-tensile are the practical choices for those boundary and pasture runs.
Built for St. Clair County Conditions
St. Clair County sits on red Alabama clay. That clay swells in wet months and shrinks in dry ones, and it will heave a post that wasn't set deep enough. We account for soil depth and drainage from the first site visit. Inside Pell City limits, the city's Section 609 Land Use Regulations add two rules worth knowing: a 25 ft visibility triangle at residential intersections where no fence over a certain height can block driver sight lines, and a requirement that wood or masonry side-yard fences sit at least 10 ft off the front lot line. We plan every Pell City install around those rules so there are no permit surprises. On the Logan Martin Lake corridor, the bigger concerns are moisture exposure and deck framing rated for a lakeside environment. We use capped composite boards and corrosion-resistant hardware on lake builds. We handle the permit. We pull the plat. You sign the estimate and pick the date.

Do I need a permit to build a fence in St. Clair County, AL?
Inside Pell City limits, yes. Pell City requires a building permit for residential fences; the fee is $5 per $1,000 of project value plus a $10 issuance fee, and permits run through the city Inspections and Permitting office at (205) 338-2244. Other incorporated cities in St. Clair County (Moody, Springville, Odenville, Ashville, Riverside) handle permits at the municipal level through their own building departments. In unincorporated St. Clair County, there is no fence permit requirement, but county subdivision regulations do require fences to sit off the right-of-way and maintain a 10 ft clear zone over any cross pipes or culverts. We verify the exact requirement for your address before we start.
Do you work with HOAs in St. Clair County?
Yes. HOA architectural approval is the homeowner's responsibility, but we provide the layout drawing, material specs, and proposed heights your architectural review committee will ask for. We have done this enough times that we know what the submission package needs to include.
What fence type works best for St. Clair County properties?
It depends on the property. For backyards in Pell City and Moody subdivisions, 6 ft wood privacy is the most common request. Logan Martin Lake homes typically use aluminum pool fence for pool and shore enclosures and composite decks to cut down on annual maintenance. Rural acreage in Springville, Odenville, and Ragland is usually field fence, woven wire, or high-tensile, depending on what animals are on the property. Call us and we will tell you what fits your specific yard.
Do you build decks, gazebos, and pergolas in St. Clair County?
Yes. Wood decks, composite decks, gazebos, and pergolas are core services. They pair naturally with fence work on the same property, and on Logan Martin Lake homes it is common to plan the fence, deck, and pergola as a single coordinated build with one crew on site.
