Lombard is just east of our Glen Ellyn shop, and it is one of the towns where we work most often. Since 2016, TOWN Fence & Deck has installed and repaired fences, decks and gates for Lombard homeowners, with Adam and Jill meeting customers in person and our own crews doing the build.
From older homes near downtown Lombard and Lilacia Park to newer streets across the village, we help you choose a fence that fits the yard and meets village code.
What We Build in Lombard
Fences That Fit Lombard Homes
Many Lombard lots are standard-width suburban yards where a privacy fence makes a big difference, and corner lots are common. Lombard has specific rules about front yards, corner side yards and chain link, so the right design depends on where the fence goes.
- Backyard privacy: cedar board-on-board, shadowbox and horizontal fences up to 6 feet, or vinyl and composite for low upkeep.
- Front and corner side yards: 4-foot decorative fences such as aluminum or picket, with the finished side facing out.
- Dogs and kids: aluminum, steel or wood with tight spacing and secure gates.
- Gardens: wood-and-wire garden fences around raised beds.
Lombard Fence Rules
The Village of Lombard requires a permit and a post hole inspection for a new fence. Here is a summary of the village's residential fence handout:
| Location or topic | What the rules say |
|---|---|
| Side and rear yards | Up to 6 feet in most cases |
| Front yards | Up to 4 feet |
| Rear yard that backs up to a neighbor's front yard | Up to 4 feet |
| Chain link | Not allowed in front or corner side yards |
| Finished side | Must face the neighbor or street in front and corner side yards |
| Clear line of sight near corners | Solid fences limited to 2 feet; open fences (at least 66% open) can follow normal heights |
| Easements | Fences are allowed, but utilities keep access and may remove a fence that blocks them |
We check your plat of survey, prepare the application and file it for you. Rules can change, so we always confirm with the village before we build. You can read the village's residential fence guide yourself.
How a Project Works
- Free estimate: Adam or Jill walks your yard, measures, and talks through styles and options.
- Written quote: every quote is built for your property. Pricing depends on material, size and the time of year.
- Permits and utility locates: we file with the village and have underground lines marked before we dig.
- Install: our own crew builds it and cleans up when the job is done.

Scott H., Google review"Town Fence was terrific several years ago when we put in the back fence and again this time when they did the side fences. The owners are super knowledgeable and delightful."
V. Davis, Google review"So very happy with the replacement of our fencing that came down from a tornado. The new fencing had to match the position of the remaining fencing. They did a wonderful job!!"
