Why Exton Homeowners Are Installing Fencing
Exton is an unincorporated community in West Whiteland Township, known for its shopping centers, corporate parks, and rapidly growing residential developments. The area has seen massive growth with new construction neighborhoods featuring modern homes on quarter-to-half-acre lots.
The housing stock ranges from established neighborhoods near Ship Road to brand-new construction in communities like Milltown and Applecross. Many newer developments have HOA requirements that dictate fence style, height, and material — we're familiar with all of them.
The terrain is gently rolling with good drainage overall, though some properties near the Broad Run and Valley Creek corridors deal with occasional wet conditions. Deer pressure from nearby green corridors is a consistent concern for homeowners with gardens.
HOA Compliance
Many Exton developments have strict HOA fence requirements. We know the rules for local communities and ensure your fence passes inspection.
New Construction Lots
Builder-grade grading often leaves uneven terrain. We level and prepare post holes properly for a clean, lasting fence installation.
Deer Protection
Exton's green corridors bring heavy deer traffic. Taller fencing protects gardens and landscaping from browse damage.
