Why Spring City Homeowners Are Installing Fencing
Spring City is a compact borough along the Schuylkill River with a mix of Victorian-era rowhomes and modest single-family homes. The terrain slopes toward the river, and many properties have small-to-medium yards that benefit from privacy fencing.
The housing stock is primarily older — late 1800s and early 1900s builds with narrow lots and shared property lines. Fencing here often focuses on backyard privacy, pet containment, and defining property boundaries between closely spaced homes.
Flooding from the Schuylkill is a real concern for lower-lying properties. We use water-resistant materials and elevated post systems to handle the seasonal water table issues common along the riverfront.

Small Lot Privacy
