Why Malvern Homeowners Are Installing Fencing
Malvern Borough is a charming Main Line-adjacent community with a walkable downtown, tree-lined streets, and a mix of historic homes and newer developments. The borough has a strong identity — local shops, the Malvern Retreat House, and beautiful residential streets.
Housing ranges from pre-war colonials and stone farmhouses to newer townhomes near the train station. Lot sizes vary widely — from compact village lots to larger properties along Warren Avenue and King Street. Many homeowners want fencing that complements their home's character.
The terrain features gentle hills with excellent drainage. East Whiteland and Willistown Township border the borough, and properties on the edges often have larger lots with wooded borders that attract deer and other wildlife.
Historic Character
Malvern's older homes need fencing that matches their architectural style. We offer traditional wood picket and ornamental designs.
Train Station Proximity
Homes near the R5 station benefit from privacy and noise-reduction fencing. Solid vinyl and wood options reduce both.
Wildlife Management
Wooded borders bring deer into yards. Taller fencing protects gardens, landscaping, and vegetable patches from browse damage.
