Fence Installation & Repair services in Gretna
Gretna is the seat of Jefferson Parish and one of the oldest towns on the West Bank. Two parts of it, Mechanickham in Old Gretna and McDonoghville, are local historic districts. Houses there are shotguns and cottages set close to the sidewalk on narrow lots, so a front fence is low, open and very visible. What you build there is reviewed for how it looks from the street. Away from the old core, neighborhoods such as Bellevue and Garden Park have brick ranch houses and longer back lines where a 6-foot wood or vinyl privacy fence is the usual request. All of Gretna is flat, low ground behind the river levee. Water sits after a hard rain, and wood that stays wet at the base rots fast, so we keep boards clear of the soil.

Permits and local rules
Gretna issues its own permits. In the Mechanickham/Old Gretna and McDonoghville historic districts, exterior work visible from the street needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic District Commission before it starts. We could not confirm the city's fence height figures, so check them with the Building Department.
