Why 500+ Wilmington Families Trust Flytrap Fence

Tight-Lot & Historic District Experience

From the close-set lots downtown and in Carolina Place to the mature-tree backyards in Forest Hills and Pine Valley, Wilmington jobs often mean tight access, narrow gates, and older underground utilities. We dig by hand where we have to and we're patient with property-line clarification — important on lots where the original survey pins are buried under fifty years of landscaping.

5-Year Workmanship Warranty

Your fence is fully backed by our comprehensive 5-year warranty covering materials and craftsmanship. We stand behind every board, post, and nail.

Licensed & Insured

We're fully licensed and insured in North Carolina. Your property, your family, and your peace of mind are protected on every single job.

5.0 Google Rating from Wilmington Neighbors

Every five-star Google review on our profile is from a Wilmington-area customer — not bought, not solicited from out-of-market jobs. Drive any neighborhood in town and there's a real chance you'll pass one of our fences. Word of mouth between neighbors in Mayfaire, Ogden, and Landfall has been our best marketing.

Wilmington Property-Type Range

We work everything from a 30-foot side-yard infill in Sunset Park to a 600-foot perimeter fence in Porters Neck, and the approach is different on each. Historic-district considerations downtown, HOA architectural review in upscale communities, and cookie-cutter ease in newer subdivisions — we adjust the design and crew schedule to the property type, not the other way around.

Wilmington Fence Installation FAQ

Many Wilmington neighborhoods have HOAs that require approval before a fence is installed. They typically want a site plan, fence style, height, and material spec. We've worked with HOAs across the area and can put together the submittal package for you so the review board has everything they need.
Wilmington's most restrictive HOAs are Landfall, Mayfaire, and Porters Neck — each with its own architectural review board, specific material/color rules, and a written submittal process. We've put together approval packages for all three and know what their boards expect: scaled site plan, material spec sheet, color sample, and elevation drawings. We'll handle the package and resubmit any revisions so you're not chasing the ARB.
A pressure-treated wood fence in Wilmington typically lasts 15–20 years with annual sealing, cedar lasts 20–25 years, and vinyl or aluminum can last 30+ years because they're unaffected by the salt air and humidity that drive most failures here. Properly set posts, raised bottom rails, and salt-rated hardware are what make those numbers achievable. We'll recommend the right material based on your location, sun exposure, and proximity to the coast.
It depends on your location and needs. In areas closer to the coast (Wrightsville Beach, Figure Eight, Airlie area), vinyl or aluminum resist salt air better than wood. In established neighborhoods like Forest Hills, Midtown, and Ogden, wood provides classic character. Landfall and other upscale communities often specify vinyl or aluminum. We'll assess your specific property—sun exposure, humidity level, proximity to salt water, HOA requirements—and recommend the best material for durability and aesthetics in your situation.
A typical Wilmington residential fence runs $3,500 to $9,000 installed for an average backyard, but the city's biggest cost variable is access. Tight downtown lots, mature root systems in Forest Hills and Pine Valley, and shared driveways in older neighborhoods all add labor time because we can't get a mini-skid into the work area. We come measure on-site so the quote reflects your actual lot, not a square-foot guess.
