Serving the Annapolis Community with Expert Fence Installation



Licensed in Anne Arundel County
Experienced with local codes, permits, and historic district rules.
All Around Fence & Decks has built fences in Anne Arundel County and nearby areas for decades. They understand the real challenges homeowners face every day. Our team knows what it takes to build fences that last in a historic, waterfront city.
What local experience looks like in practice:
Local knowledge isn’t a tagline for us—it’s how we build every fence.


















Properties here range from historic buildings to waterfront lots and long-established neighborhoods, each with distinct layouts, exposures, and compliance requirements. These are the fence types homeowners and businesses request most often based on local architecture, lot size, and coastal conditions—chosen for durability, appearance, and long-term performance.

Ideal for waterfront and pool enclosures near Spa Creek and Back Creek. Aluminum fencing fights corrosion, keeps your view clear, and looks great with both historic and modern coastal homes.

A popular choice in older neighborhoods with tighter lots. Pressure-treated wood privacy fences bring warmth and block views. They fit well with the classic style found in many older neighborhoods.

Chosen for durability in humid, salt-air conditions. Vinyl fencing has clean lines and a consistent color. It's low-maintenance, making it great for busy homes. It also works well for properties near water.

Frequently installed around pools and patios to meet local safety requirements. These fences provide both visibility and protection. They also match the style of elegant homes and waterfront properties.

Used for defined boundaries on larger or mixed-use lots. Chain-link fencing offers security without dominating the landscape. It works well in backyards and alongside property lines.
Annapolis businesses, marinas, and historic properties trust All Around Fence for commercial fencing solutions that balance aesthetic considerations with practical security requirements. From retail establishments along West Street to maritime facilities around Ego Alley, we design commercial installations that enhance property appearance while fulfilling security needs. Our experience navigating Annapolis' complex permitting requirements—particularly for historic district commercial properties—streamlines the installation process for business owners. With our direct owner involvement throughout each project, commercial clients receive consistent communication and prompt resolution of any concerns that arise during installation.
Our residential fencing transforms Annapolis homes with custom solutions that respect the city's architectural diversity. Whether you own a historic property in Murray Hill requiring period-appropriate boundaries, a waterfront home in Eastport seeking privacy with water views, or a family residence in Admiral Heights needing secure enclosure for children and pets, we provide personalized options tailored to your specific needs. The All Around Fence difference is that owners personally oversee your project from initial measurement through final inspection, ensuring appropriate installation techniques for Annapolis' varying conditions—from historic district clay soils to waterfront sandy terrain.
Fence installation here isn’t just about design—it’s about compliance. Properties often face multiple layers of oversight. This is especially true in historic districts, waterfront areas, and older neighborhoods with narrow lot lines. We guide projects through each step to avoid delays, redesigns, or failed inspections.

Annapolis homeowners and businesses choose All Around Fence because our intentionally small, family-operated business model delivers superior quality control and personalized attention impossible with larger fence companies. As owner Jim explains, “The biggest thing that sets us apart is that we’ve kept our business small. We handle everything from start to finish within the family. The owners are the salespeople and your main points of contact.” This approach eliminates the frustration of dealing with sales representatives who disappear after providing quotes. Instead, Annapolis clients work directly with owners who remain involved throughout the entire process, ensuring your fence is installed exactly as expected the first time. Our reputation for “Quality fence at a reasonable price” reflects our commitment to delivering excellent value without compromising craftsmanship, particularly important in Annapolis where historic preservation and waterfront durability demands require specialized expertise.
"All Around Fence did a fantastic job from start to finish. Jeremy met with me several times to discuss fence design and answer all my questions (which were many). Sheila, from the office, was also very responsive to my questions and kept me informed on the schedule. A great company to work with that I highly recommend."
"Reliable, efficient, do great work at very good prices. They did a fabulous job recently replacing fencing damaged by a storm. Looks perfect!"
We’ve installed fences in historic streets, waterfront lots, and established neighborhoods. Each place has its own rules, approvals, and site challenges. These projects reflect how local context shapes material choice, layout, and installation methods.
Each installation shows actual site conditions. No stock designs. They are designed to comply with local rules and ensure long-term durability.
Our work covers historic streets, waterfront areas, and older neighborhoods. Each has unique lot layouts, review needs, and installation limits.
We frequently complete fence projects in and around:
We know properties near major routes like Rowe Boulevard and Forest Drive. Here, visibility rules and setbacks often affect how fences are laid out.

Most residential fences are usually 6 feet tall in backyards and 4 feet in front yards. Corner lots and historic districts typically have stricter rules for visibility and design. Waterfront properties may face additional review. We check height, placement, and visibility rules before installation. This helps avoid violations or changes needed after the inspection.
Yes. Properties near Spa Creek, the Severn River, or tidal waters may follow Critical Area rules. These rules can impact where you place fences, how deep posts go, and limits on disturbances. These rules exist to protect shorelines and water quality. We check site conditions early. This way, fencing meets environmental standards and doesn't delay approvals.
Aluminum and vinyl work well in humid, salty air. They resist both corrosion and rot. Wood fences can still work well, but require proper spacing, drainage, and sealing. We consider exposure, elevation, and airflow when choosing materials. This is key for properties near water or in low-lying areas.
In older neighborhoods with narrow lots or shared boundaries, a recent survey is highly recommended. While not always required for permits, surveys help prevent boundary disputes and rework. We often plan fence layouts with current plats or surveys. This helps keep posts within legal property lines.
Pool fencing in Maryland must comply with safety code requirements. It should have a minimum height, self-closing gates, and proper latch placement. Aluminum and vinyl fences are popular. They meet codes and keep visibility. We install pool enclosures that meet inspection standards. They look great and allow easy access around patios and waterfront properties.
"From start to finish, everyone at All Around Fence was professional, courteous and did a great job! I can't say enough about Jim and Jeremy's hard work and recommend them to anyone who needs their services. All Around Awesome!"
