Newtown is where 76 FENCE BucksMont runs its Lower Bucks office, so when you call from Newtown, you’re calling neighbors. The area covers two municipalities, Newtown Borough and Newtown Township, and each has its own permit process. Knowing which one you’re in is the first step to a fence that goes up without a hitch.
Quick answers for Newtown homeowners
Do I need a permit? Almost certainly. Most Bucks County townships and boroughs require a zoning or fence permit, and Newtown is no exception. We prepare and file it.
Will the historic district affect me? If you’re in the borough’s historic district and the fence faces the street, architectural review may be part of the process. We’ll tell you up front.
What about my HOA? Many established neighborhoods in the township have HOA guidelines on style, color and placement. We handle the HOA approval request along with the permit. See our HOA fencing page for how that works.
Established neighborhoods, established yards
A lot of Newtown homes sit in established neighborhoods with mature trees, finished landscaping and neighbors who’ve been next door for years. That changes the job. Our crew works around root systems, protects planting beds and keeps the yard tidy while we’re there.
It also means neighbors notice your fence. Our good neighbor fence tips cover how to talk it through before the posts go in.

Fence styles we build most in Newtown
Backyard privacy
Vinyl and cedar privacy fences give you a private patio in a neighborhood where houses sit close.
Pool enclosures
A pool fence must be at least 48 inches with self-closing, self-latching gates. The inspector has the final say.
Dog runs
A dog fence with a tight bottom gap and a gate that latches every time.
Front-yard accents
Picket and aluminum that suit historic streets and newer homes alike.
Parks, trees and deer
With Tyler State Park nearby and plenty of wooded edges, deer are part of life in Newtown. If you’re protecting a garden or young trees, the fence needs to be tall — often 7 to 8 feet. For regular backyard fences, we’ll talk through whether deer are likely to jump in and what that means for your plantings.
What Newtown customers tell us
We’d rather you hear it from customers. Tom Ryan wrote that he was “hoping not to get a pushy salesmen. Our experience was just the opposite.” That’s how we try to run every estimate: we look at the yard, answer your questions and give you a price. No pressure and no dispatch fee.
★★★★★My wife and I were “on the fence” on whether or not we should enclose our backyard. We decided to get a consultation not knowing what to expect and hoping not to get a pushy salesmen. Our experience was just the opposite. Very knowledgeable, informative, and creative on different options we could pursue. If you want a consultative experience of true professionals who will work within your needs and parameters, 76 Fence is your team. Veteran owned and operated too.
★★★★★Excellent job on repair of my privacy fence. 5 panels got taken out by a storm. The fence is over 35 years old… had no idea where to start. Found 76 fence company… restored fence as good as new with replacing panels… they even found similar/same pillars on top of panels. Impressive quality of work and very nice fence installers. Polite, energetic and did job perfectly.
★★★★★Happy I went with 76 Fence BucksMont. They were readily available, easy to work with, and always on time. They came out and visited our house, took time to understand our vision, offered suggestions on design, and helped us find ways to stay within our budget. Friendly, hard working, fairly priced, and ON TIME. What more could you ask for?
If you’re comparing quotes, ask every company the same questions. How deep do the posts go? Who files the permit and the HOA request? Who calls 811? What warranty comes with the materials? We offer and honor manufacturer warranty coverage on every fence we install, and we’re glad to answer the rest at your estimate.
