Where Does ECL Fence Co. Install Fences in Northeast Florida?

ECL Fence Co. is based in Saint Johns, FL and installs, repairs and replaces fences across St. Johns, Duval, Clay and Flagler counties. We serve 20 communities, from master-planned neighborhoods like Nocatee and World Golf Village to beach towns like Jacksonville Beach and Vilano Beach. Every estimate is free.

Because we are family owned and owner operated, the same experienced owner who has spent over 17 years building fences handles your project whether you live five minutes from our base or out in Palm Coast. We are open 24/7, and we offer a 5% military discount for those who serve.

Which Counties Do You Serve?

We serve four counties in Northeast Florida: St. Johns, Duval, Clay and Flagler. Each county has its own neighborhoods, building departments and property conditions, so we plan every fence around where it is going, not a one-size-fits-all template.

St. Johns County

St. Johns County is home base. We work throughout Saint Johns, Fruit Cove, Julington Creek, Nocatee, Ponte Vedra, Ponte Vedra Beach, Saint Augustine, World Golf Village, Saint Augustine Beach and Vilano Beach. The county is a mix of growing master-planned communities, established neighborhoods along the St. Johns River and historic and coastal areas near Saint Augustine.

Duval County

In Duval County we serve Jacksonville along with the beach communities of Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach. Projects here range from backyard privacy fences on suburban lots to commercial fencing for businesses and storage areas.

Clay County

Across the river in Clay County we serve Fleming Island, Orange Park, Green Cove Springs, Middleburg and Oakleaf Plantation. Many homeowners here want fencing for pets, kids and larger lots.

Flagler County

To the south we serve Palm Coast in Flagler County, where wood, vinyl and aluminum fencing are all common requests.

Does Fence Installation Change From One Area to Another?

Yes. The basics of a well-built fence stay the same everywhere, but HOA rules, coastal conditions and local height and placement rules can change from one neighborhood or jurisdiction to the next. We factor those differences into material choice, layout and scheduling before any posts go in the ground.

HOA and master-planned communities

Many communities in our service area, including neighborhoods in Nocatee, Julington Creek Plantation and World Golf Village, are governed by HOAs with architectural guidelines. These guidelines often address fence style, color, height and where a fence can sit on the lot. HOA approval is separate from government permitting, so you may need both. We help you understand what to submit and build to the approved plan.

Coastal salt air near the beaches

Homes in Ponte Vedra Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach, Saint Augustine Beach and Vilano Beach deal with salt air that is hard on some materials. Vinyl and aluminum tend to hold up well near the coast, and we pay close attention to hardware and finishes so your fence looks good longer.

Height and placement rules differ by jurisdiction

Fence height and placement rules are set locally, so they can differ between counties and cities. In St. Johns County, the general residential rule allows fences up to 6 feet, with a 4-foot limit within the front 25 feet of the property, and corner lots have extra considerations. Other jurisdictions may differ. Always confirm the rules for your specific property before installation.

What Northeast Florida Conditions Affect My Fence?

Northeast Florida's humidity, heavy summer rain, afternoon thunderstorms and hurricane-season wind all put stress on fences. Sandy soils make proper post setting essential, and wood in ground contact faces rot and termite risk. These conditions shape how we install every fence, in every community we serve.

Wind and storms: properly set posts help fences stand up to gusty weather, and our fence repair service handles storm damage and leaning sections.
Moisture and rot: wood fencing benefits from careful post setting and regular sealing, while vinyl fencing does not rot.
Coastal exposure: aluminum fencing resists rust and keeps views open.
Budget and security: chain link fencing is a durable, practical option for pets, side yards and commercial lots.
