Why Drexel Hill Homeowners Are Installing Fencing
Drexel Hill is one of Delaware County's largest communities in Upper Darby Township. A classic inner-ring suburb with strong neighborhoods, it features mature trees, established homes, and convenient access to Philadelphia via the Route 100 trolley.
Housing is predominantly single-family homes and twins from the 1920s-1960s on moderate lots. The neighborhoods are well-established with a mix of younger families moving in and longtime residents. Many homes have aging fences that need replacement.
The terrain is mostly flat with gentle hills and good drainage. Established neighborhoods have mature trees and older infrastructure. Darby Creek runs through the area, with some properties near the creek facing occasional drainage issues.
Fence Replacement
Drexel Hill's older housing stock means many fences are decades old. We remove and replace aging fences with modern materials.
Family Privacy
Close-together homes benefit from privacy fencing. Create a safe, enclosed backyard for your family.
Property Value
New fencing increases curb appeal and property value in Drexel Hill's competitive housing market.
