Fence Installation
in New Orleans
A properly installed fence adds privacy, security, and value to your property. HDR installs wood privacy fences, picket fences, vinyl fencing, and chain link for residential properties throughout the New Orleans metro area. We handle the full project — post setting, materials, and cleanup.
Fence Installation in New Orleans
Fences in the New Orleans area have a shorter lifespan than most homeowners expect. Wood privacy fences take a beating from heat, humidity, driving rain, and the wind loads that come with tropical storms and hurricanes. A wood fence that was in good shape before a storm can be lying flat afterward, or standing but with enough broken boards and shifted posts that a repair doesn't make economic sense. Chain link holds up better in wind but offers no privacy and deteriorates from rust in the salt air closer to the coast.
HDR installs and replaces fences throughout the metro — wood privacy fences, treated pine, cedar, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link. We set posts properly for South Louisiana conditions, which means accounting for the soft, high-moisture soil that can cause posts to heave or lean over time if they're not set right. In many areas of the metro, fence installations require a permit, and setback rules vary by municipality and by whether you're in the city proper or in Jefferson, St. Bernard, or St. Tammany parish.
A lot of our fence work is storm-related — replacing what a named storm took out, or addressing the slow degradation that years of South Louisiana weather causes. If you're replacing a fence, it's also worth thinking about what kind of fence will hold up better the next time. We'll walk you through the options honestly and help you pick something that works for your yard and your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vinyl doesn't rot and doesn't need painting or staining, which makes it low maintenance in a humid climate. However, it can crack in UV exposure over time and performs differently than wood under high wind loads. Treated pine is the most common and cost-effective option for New Orleans yards. We'll talk through the trade-offs for your specific situation.
