Custom Wood Privacy Fence Installation in Chester County, PA

Project Overview
When Chester County homeowners Mike and April Boyle set out to transform their backyard into a private retreat, they knew they wanted something more than a standard fence. They envisioned a fully enclosed, beautifully designed yard that would complement their pool, integrate with their pergola, and make a strong first impression at the front entrance — all while reflecting their personal style.
J&A Fence worked closely with the Boyles through multiple design iterations to get every detail exactly right. The finished result is a custom vertical-board wood privacy fence that wraps the entire property, crowned by a striking custom black metal arched gate at the entrance — a project the homeowners say they absolutely love.

We had a custom fence designed and installed by J&A Fence. Joe and the entire team did an amazing job, from start to finish. From design (after several iterations by my wife April) to installation the team was courteous, professional and clearly experts in their craft. Thanks Joe and the J&A Crew, we love it!!

Why This Design Worked
A vertical board privacy fence was the right choice for this property for several reasons. The solid, uniform boards create a clean, modern aesthetic that photographs beautifully in any season — something clearly reflected in the Boyles’ pool area shots taken in both summer and fall. At full height, the fence provides complete sightline privacy from neighboring properties while keeping the focus on the outdoor living space within.
The decision to go custom rather than prefabricated meant J&A Fence could adapt the design to the yard’s specific contours, follow the grading around the pool deck, and accommodate the pergola structure without compromise. The multiple design iterations the team worked through with April paid off — the proportions, height, and layout feel tailored because they were.
Standout Features
Custom Black Metal Arched Gate
The showpiece of the project. A bold, custom-designed black metal arched gate anchors the stone pathway entrance, pairing contrasting materials — warm wood fence, cool metal gate — for a high-end look that sets the tone before you even enter the yard.
Pool Enclosure Compliance
The fence was designed to fully enclose the pool area, meeting safety requirements for pool barriers while seamlessly blending into the overall yard aesthetic. No compromise between safety and style.
Pergola & Shed Integration
The fence layout was planned around existing structures, including the wooden pergola and storage shed in the pool area, ensuring a cohesive, intentional design throughout.
Multi-Iteration Custom Design
J&A Fence worked through several design revisions with the homeowners before settling on the final plan — evidence of the team’s commitment to getting the details right and putting the customer’s vision first.
Pressure-Treated Vertical Board Construction
Built to last in Pennsylvania’s variable climate, the pressure-treated lumber provides long-term resistance to rot and insects while maintaining its clean appearance year after year.
The Finished Result
The Boyles now have the private backyard retreat they envisioned: a fully enclosed pool and entertainment space that feels like an extension of their home. The custom black arched gate makes an immediate impression on arrival, while the clean wood privacy fence lines the entire yard with a cohesive, high-quality finish.
From the stone pathway at the front entrance to the pergola and pool area in back, every element of the fence design works together. The project required patience and collaboration — multiple design rounds, precise installation around existing structures, and careful attention to pool safety compliance — and J&A Fence delivered on all fronts.
