Best Fence Company In Springdale AR

Three feet across the front. Six feet in the side and rear yards.

It is the lowest limit in the area. Rogers allows four feet out front. Fayetteville and Farmington set no citywide maximum at all. Springdale says three.

Article 6, Section 2.3 of the Zoning Ordinance.

The city’s own Neighborhood Services guidance says the same thing in inches: a fence in the front yard past the front edge of the house may not be over 36 inches, and cannot sit within the street right of way. Two separate city sources, same number.

Yes. The rule covers fences, walls and hedges alike, with retaining walls the only exception.

No, and this is the good news. Springdale measures the front yard by the orientation of your house, not by which sides face streets.

Because elsewhere in the same code, a corner lot is treated as having front yards on every street side and no rear yard at all. Applied to fences, that would cap you at three feet along both streets.

The fence section deliberately overrides that. It says the height limit follows the orientation of the structure and not the yard designations used elsewhere. So the three feet applies where your house faces, and the side street is treated as a side yard at six feet.

It is the opposite. In Rogers, both street facing sides of a corner lot are capped. In Springdale they are not.

Twenty minutes apart, opposite answers.

It might. Springdale treats a lot on a curved street as a corner lot if lines drawn from the foremost points of the side lot lines meet at an interior angle of less than 135 degrees.

Worth checking on a cul-de-sac or a bend before you assume.

Yes, and it is the only city nearby that spells it out.

Chain link with plastic or metal slats, standard fence wood, vinyl, and metal such as wrought iron.

• Plywood
• Scrap lumber
• Wood pallets
• Chicken wire
• Corrugated steel
• Concertina wire
• Fiberglass panels

Because those are the materials people reach for when they want a fence cheaply and fast. The city has decided a pallet fence is not a fence.

If you are quoted something not on the approved list, you are being quoted a fence you may be told to take down.

Yes. The ordinance says fence posts and supports must be installed on the side of the fence that faces your lot.

In plain terms, your neighbour and the street get the smooth side.

Fayetteville does not. Its code says nothing about which side faces out.

That makes this a genuine Springdale-only build requirement, and one of the easier ways to end up with a fence that has to be turned around.

No. It is a matter of building it the right way round from the start. It only costs money when someone does not know the rule.

The zoning height and material rules apply to every fence, but Springdale’s buildings chapter does not set a fence-specific permit requirement. The city inspects to the adopted International Residential Code.

Any unusually tall fence, anything with structural or masonry work, and anything near a right of way.

For an ordinary six foot back yard fence you are generally in zoning territory rather than building permit territory. We confirm on every job rather than assume.

No building permit if it is 120 square feet or under and portable. Over that, you need one.

Springdale City Hall, 201 Spring Street, 479-750-8114. The Building Department and Neighborhood Services both have their own pages on the city site.

We handle permitting on our jobs.

Yes. The city requires a fence at least 48 inches high with a self latching gate.

It is a minimum rather than a maximum, which is the opposite of every other rule here.

Forty eight inches is four feet, so a standard six foot rear yard fence clears it. But the gate matters as much as the height, and the gate is what gets missed.

Yes. Check with the Building Inspection Department before the pool goes in, not after. They will give you the full requirements and the permit.

Pool barriers are one area where the details are worth getting from the source.

No. Springdale prohibits direct point chaining or tethering of a dog to a stationary object.

A trolley system, or a tether attached to a pulley on a cable run, with conditions:

• One dog per cable run
• A properly fitting collar or harness with room for two fingers at the throat
• No choke or pinch collars
• A swivel on at least one end so the line does not tangle

Farmington bans permanent chaining as well. Rogers expressly allows a chain or leash attached to a substantial stationary object.

So the same setup is legal in one town and not in another.

The bar is much higher. A potentially dangerous animal must be confined indoors or in an enclosed and locked pen of at least 150 square feet, with secure sides and a secure top attached to those sides.

If there is no secured bottom, the sides must be embedded at least two feet into the ground, and the whole thing must keep the public out, children included.

That is a build, not a kennel purchase, and we do them.

A cat kept outside has to be in a fenced area enclosed with a top and containing a shelter, otherwise the city considers it free roaming.

Yes, with a conditional use permit from the planning commission, and only on at least three acres.

No more than one per acre and a half of open grazing land. Open grazing land does not count the minimum area required for the house itself.

The grazing area has to have a suitable fence, and a fencing plan must be submitted with the application.

It has to be drawn to scale and show the residence, all accessory structures, the type of fencing to be installed, and the location of every access point.

Yes, and this is the part worth planning ahead on. Talk to us before you file rather than after, because the fencing plan is part of the application rather than something you sort out once it is approved.

No. It is nontransferable and valid only for the applicant and the residence it was issued for. A buyer has to apply again.

Springdale does not publish a measured one. The only visibility language in the code is about designing new street intersections, not about your fence.

You can build to your property line, but not into the street right of way. The code makes it unlawful to place a fence, wall, enclosure or foundation in any street or public passage.

The right of way often extends further onto your lot than the sidewalk suggests, which is where people get caught.

On anything close to a boundary or a corner, yes. It is cheaper than moving a fence, and it settles the question before your neighbour raises it.

Probably. Springdale has a Downtown District Form Based Code, adopted by reference and amended repeatedly, most recently in 2026.

We will not guess. That document is not published in the online code. It is on file with the city clerk.

If your property is in the downtown district, the fence standards have to come from that document, and we will get it and work from it rather than assume the general rules apply.

Yes. Security fence, screening, dumpster enclosures and gates.

Springdale is the self declared Poultry Capital of the World, and the only time chickens appear in its residential fence rules is to ban chicken wire.
