Telford is part of the Souderton–Telford area and is one of the few boroughs that straddles two counties, Bucks and Montgomery. That sounds like it could make a fence permit complicated. In practice, Telford Borough handles its own permits, and 76 FENCE BucksMont takes care of the paperwork so you don’t have to sort it out.
Two counties, one borough
Whether your home is on the Bucks side or the Montgomery side, your fence permit usually goes through Telford Borough. Most fences need one. We check the current rules for your address instead of guessing at heights or setbacks, prepare the application and file it. If your neighborhood has an HOA, we’ll handle that request too.
Before digging, we submit the PA One Call (811) request at least three business days ahead. That’s the law in Pennsylvania, and it protects you, your neighbors and our crew. Learn more in our 811 guide.
Backyards made for living
Most Telford fences go around backyards that people actually use — for cookouts, kids, dogs and gardens. The fence has to fit that life.
A privacy fence gives you a quiet backyard. A dog fence lets the dog out without a leash. A pool fence needs to be at least 48 inches with self-closing, self-latching gates that open away from the pool.
Choosing a material
Wood
Cedar or pressure-treated pine. Warm and classic, with occasional upkeep. See wood fences.
Vinyl
Low maintenance and easy to clean.
Composite
Wood look with less upkeep.
Aluminum
Open and clean for pools and front yards.
Planning around your yard’s layout
Before you pick a style, look at how your yard actually works. Where does water run after a big storm? A solid fence across a low spot can trap it. Where do you walk into the backyard from the driveway, and what do you carry through there? That’s where the gate goes. Is there a shed, a garden bed or a tree near the line? We’ll plan the run around it. Where do you sit, and what do you want to stop seeing from there? That’s where privacy matters most. Walk your yard with these questions before the estimate, and our team can turn your answers into a layout.
Ground and weather
Central and Upper Bucks have plenty of shale and rock, and low spots near creeks can be wet clay with a high water table. 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. That’s what keeps a fence straight through freeze-thaw winters, heavy spring storms and the occasional nor’easter.
Deer are common in this part of the region too. For a garden or young trees, deer fencing needs to be tall — often 7 to 8 feet.
