We offer four primary fencing options — each suited to different needs, aesthetics, and budgets:
Licensed fence installation built for privacy, security, and the Lowcountry climate — coordinated seamlessly with your pool or outdoor living project.
A well-built fence does more than mark a property line. It creates privacy, protects children and pets, meets South Carolina safety code requirements for pools, and adds a finished, intentional quality to the overall look of your yard.
Low Country Lagoons installs custom fences throughout Charleston, SC and the surrounding Lowcountry. We build with wood, vinyl, and iron — and we specialize in pool safety fencing that integrates cleanly with your pool deck and outdoor living design. Every installation is planned for your specific property, with proper post footings, alignment, and coastal-grade materials that hold up long-term.
Whether you’re fencing a new pool, adding privacy to a backyard, enclosing a yard for pets, or finishing off a complete outdoor living project, our team handles fence installation as part of the broader design — not as an afterthought.
We offer four primary fencing options — each suited to different needs, aesthetics, and budgets:
Wood fencing is the most versatile option available. It offers a natural, warm appearance that suits everything from classic Lowcountry homes to modern coastal builds, and it can be customized in height, spacing, and finish to suit your exact privacy and aesthetic requirements.
Vinyl fencing delivers a clean, consistent appearance with virtually zero maintenance. It won’t rot, splinter, fade, or require painting — which makes it a popular choice for homeowners who want long-term durability without the upkeep of wood. It performs especially well in humid coastal environments.
Iron and ornamental aluminum fencing offer strong perimeter definition with an open, architectural look. They’re commonly used for front yard enclosures, driveway entries, and decorative pool perimeters where you want a finished, high-end appearance without blocking sightlines.
Pool safety fencing is required by South Carolina law for all residential inground pools — and it’s one of the most common additions we install alongside a new pool build or renovation.
When we design and build your pool, pool safety fencing is planned into the layout from the start — not bolted on as a last step. The gate placement, fence height, and material all coordinate with your deck, landscaping, and overall design intent.
South Carolina pool fence requirements include:
Popular pool fence options we install:
Fences in the Charleston area face specific challenges that inland fences don’t: salt air, high humidity, sandy soil with inconsistent drainage, and wind loading from coastal weather events. We account for all of it.
Concrete footings sized for sandy coastal soil. Post depth and diameter matched to fence height and wind exposure.
Stainless steel and hot-dipped galvanized fasteners used throughout — no zinc screws that rust and streak within two seasons.
Pressure-treated lumber, UV-stabilized vinyl, and powder-coated aluminum — all selected specifically for coastal exposure resistance.
Every fence project follows a controlled, five-step process from the first conversation to the final post:
We walk your property, identify any grade changes, obstacles, or setback requirements, and take precise measurements for the full fence layout.
You choose your fence type, height, style, and gate placement. We provide material samples and discuss what works best for your specific property and goals.
Fence permits are required in many Charleston-area municipalities based on height and location. We determine what’s needed and manage the application on your behalf.
Our crew sets posts in concrete footings, installs panels and rails to a level and plumb standard, and fits all gates with proper hardware. Most residential fence projects are completed in 1–3 days.
We walk the completed fence line with you, confirm gate operation, and clear all debris from the site before closing out the project.
There are dedicated fence companies in Charleston, and there’s a reason homeowners building pools with us choose to have us handle their fence installation too:
We install wood, vinyl, iron, and pool safety fences for residential properties throughout the Lowcountry:
The questions Charleston homeowners most often ask us about custom fence installation:
Fence installation costs in the Charleston area typically range from $20 to $60 per linear foot installed, depending on material, height, and style. A standard 150-linear-foot wood privacy fence runs approximately $3,000–$6,000. Vinyl and aluminum systems run slightly higher. Pool safety fencing varies based on perimeter length and material type. We provide itemized, transparent quotes after reviewing your property.
It depends on the height, location, and your specific municipality. Many residential fences under 6 feet in rear yards do not require a permit, but front yard fences, taller structures, and properties in certain HOA or coastal overlay zones often do. Low Country Lagoons determines what's required for your property and handles the permit process if needed.
Yes. South Carolina law requires a barrier — typically a fence at least 48 inches high with a self-closing, self-latching gate — around all residential inground swimming pools. The fence must have no openings greater than 4 inches to prevent child access. We install code-compliant pool fencing on every pool project we build.
Vinyl and powder-coated aluminum perform best in coastal environments because they resist moisture, salt air, and UV degradation without requiring maintenance. For wood fences, we use pressure-treated lumber and recommend a penetrating stain or sealant to maximize service life. We'll help you choose the best material for your location, budget, and how much maintenance you want to do.
Absolutely — and this is the most efficient approach. When fencing is installed as part of a complete pool and outdoor living project, we sequence it properly relative to the pool deck, grading, and landscaping so everything finishes together cleanly. Contact us during the pool planning phase to include fencing in your initial design and quote.
