Gloucester County, NJ, includes growing suburbs, older boroughs, and river towns. In places like Washington Township, Monroe Township, and Woolwich, projects often follow planned designs and backyard living trends. Areas near Glassboro and Deptford see more replacement work on established lots. Creeks, corner lots, and township reviews can affect layout and timing. Tri-State Fence & Deck regularly works across Gloucester County, planning each project around the lot, the neighborhood, and local expectations from day one.

Projects across the county vary by growth, lot layout, and local geography. Select your town to see what’s commonly built there.

Backyard living, newer neighborhoods
Replacement work, mixed layouts


Tighter lots, drainage awareness
Larger lots, access planning


Compact neighborhoods
Parts of Gloucester County sit near waterways like Mantua Creek and Big Timber Creek. These areas can hold moisture after rain, which affects post placement and long-term stability.
In towns like Deptford Township and West Deptford Township, many homes sit on corners. Layout and visibility matter more for these properties.
In growing areas such as Washington Township and Woolwich Township, projects are planned around patios, pools, and decks, not just property lines.
Tri-State Fence & Deck plans around these local conditions so fences and decks fit the yard, drain well, and feel right long after installation.


Permits are handled by each township. Fence and deck permits are issued at the municipal level, not by the county. Townships like Washington Township, Deptford Township, and Monroe Township review projects based on location, height, and use.
Fence height rules follow common limits, with local review. Rear and side yards often permit fences up to 6 feet tall. Front yards are commonly limited to 4 feet. Corner lots may undergo additional review to maintain clear sightlines along the street.
Deck projects require construction permits. Decks are reviewed under New Jersey’s Uniform Construction Code. Inspections often include footings, framing, and final approval, especially for attached or raised decks.
HOA involvement varies by neighborhood. Some planned communities review materials, colors, and layout before township submission. Older boroughs and established neighborhoods often rely solely on zoning review.
Utility marking is required before digging. All post holes and footings must be cleared through New Jersey One Call (811) before work begins.
Tri-State Fence & Deck plans projects around township review steps so approvals and inspections stay on track.

Licensed, insured, and township-ready
Fully licensed and insured in New Jersey. Work is planned with township review in mind, so layouts, heights, and placements don’t get flagged at the last minute.
Quality that holds up in busy backyards
A 3-year workmanship warranty covers posts, framing, and installation—important for fences and decks used daily by families, pets, and guests.
Clear planning from estimate to install

Often, yes. In Gloucester County, replacing a fence can still require zoning or construction review, especially if height, placement, or materials change. Older fences may not meet current rules. Townships like Washington and Deptford commonly review replacements to ensure today’s standards are met before approval.
Corner lots receive closer review because fences can affect visibility at intersections. Many Gloucester townships check height and placement near street-facing sides to keep sight lines clear. Even rear or side-yard fences may be adjusted on corners. This is common in established neighborhoods and older subdivisions across the county.
Yes. Pool barriers must meet stricter safety standards than standard fencing. In Gloucester County, pool fences often require construction permits under New Jersey’s Uniform Construction Code. Requirements usually include self-closing gates, proper spacing, and minimum heights. Townships review pool barriers closely, especially in newer suburban developments.
No. Township zoning and construction rules always come first. HOAs may set additional limits on materials, colors, or styles, but they cannot approve anything that violates township requirements. In Gloucester County, many neighborhoods have HOA-style review, but zoning approval remains the final authority.
Areas near waterways like Mantua Creek and Big Timber Creek often hold moisture after heavy rain. This can affect post depth, spacing, and long-term stability. Planning for drainage early helps prevent leaning, movement, or premature wear on fence lines.
