Fence Installation & Repair services in Metairie
Metairie is the largest community in Jefferson Parish and has no city hall of its own, so the parish writes the fence rules. The ground tells you where you are. Old Metairie sits on Metairie Ridge, a strip of higher land left by an old branch of the river, with big live oaks and deep lots. North of there the land drops toward Lake Pontchartrain. Those blocks were drained and built later, mostly with slab ranch houses, and the soil is still settling. A fence post in that soft ground needs a wide, deep footing or it tips within a few summers. Drainage canals cut through many blocks, and yards that back onto one often have a parish servitude along the rear. Near Bucktown and the lakefront, wind off the water and salt in the air are hard on plain steel hardware.

Permits and local rules
Metairie is unincorporated, so Jefferson Parish zoning sets fence height and placement. We could not confirm the parish's current height figures from an official page, so check the rule for your address with the parish before work starts. Yards along a drainage canal may also have a servitude that has to stay clear.
