Whether you’re in Charleston, Berkeley, or Dorchester County, FenceCraft offers customized fencing solutions that match your lifestyle, landscape, and budget. In this article, we’ll dive deep into the different types of fences—wooden fences, aluminum fences, and even living fences—and explore why homeowners across the Low country region turn to FenceCraft for quality craftsmanship and reliable service.
Why Residential Fencing Matters in Charleston’s Tri-County Area
Charleston is a region where southern charm meets coastal living. With such a unique setting, homeowners want to strike the perfect balance between aesthetic elegance, functionality, and durability. Whether you own a beachside bungalow in Isle of Palms, a historic home in downtown Charleston, or a modern residence in Mount Pleasant, fencing plays a crucial role in:
- Boosting Property Value
- Creating Privacy from Neighbors
- Securing Pets and Children
- Enhancing Landscape Design
- Establishing Clear Property Lines
FenceCraft understands these local needs and offers tailored solutions backed by years of experience, local expertise, and a commitment to craftsmanship.
Wooden Fences: Classic Charm Meets Versatility
One of the most requested fence types by Charleston-area homeowners is the wooden fence. Timeless, natural, and versatile, wood fences add warmth and tradition to any home.
Benefits of Wooden Fences
- Natural Aesthetic: Wood blends seamlessly with gardens, lawns, and historic architecture—making it a perfect choice for the scenic surroundings of Charleston.
- Customizable Designs: Choose from picket, privacy, split-rail, or lattice-topped styles.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to other materials, wood fencing is relatively affordable and easily repairable.
- Eco-Friendly: Many FenceCraft wooden fences are made from sustainably sourced lumber, appealing to environmentally conscious homeowners.
Popular Styles Offered by FenceCraft
- Cedar Privacy Fences
- Picket Fences (ideal for front yards)
- Board-on-Board Fences for added security
- Shadowbox Designs for airflow and aesthetics
FenceCraft’s team works closely with you to select the right wood, stain, and design that complements your home’s exterior and withstands the humid Charleston climate.
Aluminum Fences: Modern, Durable & Low Maintenance
If you’re seeking durability and sophistication, an aluminum fence might be the perfect match. Unlike wrought iron, aluminum resists rust and corrosion—an essential factor for homes near the ocean or in flood-prone areas like Charleston.
Benefits of Aluminum Fencing
- Weather Resistance: Aluminum doesn’t warp, rot, or rust, making it ideal for coastal environments.
- Elegant Look: Mimics the beauty of iron without the upkeep.
- Secure Yet Decorative: Great for pool enclosures, garden borders, and backyard perimeters.
- Low Maintenance: Just rinse occasionally—no staining, painting, or sealing needed.
Why Charleston Homeowners Love Aluminum Fencing
FenceCraft installs aluminum fences that align with local HOA regulations, pool safety codes, and historic preservation standards. Whether you’re fencing a waterfront property or a colonial-style home, FenceCraft ensures the fence blends seamlessly with your architecture and landscaping.
Living Fences: Green, Sustainable, and Beautiful
For homeowners looking for something unique and environmentally friendly, living fences are growing in popularity in the Charleston Tri-County area.
What Are Living Fences?
A living fence is created using plants, shrubs, or trees arranged in such a way that they form a natural barrier around your property. They offer all the benefits of traditional fencing—privacy, property boundaries, and noise reduction—with the added beauty of greenery.
Top Choices for Living Fences in Charleston
- Boxwoods for formal, dense hedges
- Bamboo for quick-growing privacy screens
- Wax Myrtle for native, low-maintenance options
- Holly or Ligustrum for year-round greenery
Advantages of Living Fences
- Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
- Visually Appealing
- Provides Habitat for Birds and Pollinators

FenceCraft helps homeowners plan and install living fences that thrive in the humid subtropical climate of the Lowcountry, ensuring year-round lushness and coverage.
