Sewickley's tree-lined streets and historic riverfront neighborhoods sit under one of the densest shade canopies in Greater Pittsburgh, where mature oaks, maples, and sycamores tower over brick rowhouses and older suburban lots along the Allegheny. When a tree fails, leans, or threatens a fence line, you need a crew that understands both the trees and the tight property lines that define life here in 15056.
Pittsburgh Fence Company has served Sewickley homeowners and property managers since 2012, and we know the specific challenge that sets this neighborhood apart: ornamental steel fencing suits the historic housing stock here exactly as it does on Sewickley's own brick streets, and when a tree brings down a fence run or a storm-damaged gate needs to come off its hinges fast, we show up with insured crews and honest work.
Fencing in Sewickley's Historic Neighborhoods
Sewickley's defining constraint is not soil or slope, but boundary lines that predate modern surveys, narrow side yards between rowhouses and twin homes, alley access that runs tight, and existing masonry that leaves little room for error. The freeze-thaw cycle of a Pennsylvania winter is what separates a fence that holds for twenty years from one that heaves and fails: water in the ground expands each winter and lifts shallow posts season after season, so posts set deep in concrete below the frost line are not optional here, they are the foundation of every job we do. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify, respecting deed restrictions and HOA architectural standards that frequently govern height, material, and color in Sewickley's master-planned communities. Our team has been installing wood and vinyl privacy fencing, chain link, aluminum and ornamental iron, gates, and pool barriers across Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas since 2012, with the same crews doing the work every time.

How a Fence Job Works in Sewickley
We start with a free on-site assessment. We walk the fence line with you, identify any existing survey marks, check local setback and height rules with Sewickley's building department, and confirm whether a permit is required in your jurisdiction. If you have an HOA, we note the architectural standards that apply. We explain what we find, answer your questions, and give you a clear estimate with no surprises.
When you're ready, we handle the work. Pennsylvania law requires a utility locate through 811 before we dig any post holes, and we call that in every time. We set posts deep in concrete below the frost line, space them correctly to prevent racking and sag, and install stringers and pickets or boards with the care that suits Sewickley's older housing stock. Tight yards and alley access mean we often work in spaces where a national crew would struggle, and we do it because we know the neighborhood.
When the fence is up, we clean the site completely. You get a finished job and a property that looks the way it did before we arrived, only with a fence that will hold through twenty winters of freeze-thaw cycles.
