Sellersville is a Pennridge-area borough of small-town lots, where your backyard might be a tidy rectangle and your neighbors are close enough to wave to from the porch. The Sellersville Theater draws people from all over, but the fence questions we hear here are about everyday life: keeping the dog in, getting some privacy, and replacing that old fence before it falls over. 76 FENCE BucksMont can help with all three.
Making a small lot work
On a compact lot, a fence does a lot of jobs at once. It has to give you privacy without making the yard feel like a box. It has to leave room for the gate, the grill and the trash cans. And it has to look good from both sides, because your neighbor sees it every day.
- Mix heights. Where your permit allows, a taller privacy fence around the patio and a shorter picket up front keeps the yard open.
- Let light through. Semi-privacy styles give you cover without a solid wall.
- Plan the gate first. On a small lot, where the gate goes decides how the whole yard works.
We’ll walk the lot with you and sketch options on the spot. Sometimes the best answer is a shorter run than you expected.
Old fence? Repair or replace
Lots of Sellersville fences have been through many winters. If a storm knocked out a few sections or one post is leaning, a repair might be all you need. If posts are rotting all the way down the line, replacement usually makes more sense. We’ll give you an honest answer, not the bigger invoice.
Sellersville Borough permits and 811
Sellersville Borough has its own permit process. Most fences need a zoning or fence permit, and we handle the paperwork. We don’t guess at heights or setbacks; we check what applies to your lot. Before digging, we submit the PA One Call (811) request at least three business days ahead, as PA Act 287 requires.
What’s under the grass
Central and Upper Bucks ground often has shale and rock close to the surface. Near creeks and in low spots, clay and a high water table are more common. Either way, we set posts below the frost line (commonly around 30 to 36 inches in southeast PA, with local code having the final word) so the fence stays straight through freeze-thaw winters.
Wood, vinyl or something else?
On a small lot you see your fence up close every day, so the material matters. Cedar has a warm, natural look and weathers to gray if you leave it alone. Pressure-treated pine costs less and takes stain once it dries out. Vinyl never needs painting and cleans up with a hose. Aluminum gives a front yard an open, tidy edge. Composite gives you a wood look with less upkeep. There’s no single right answer. Tell us how much maintenance you’re really willing to do, and we’ll narrow it down from there.
