Older Youngstown neighborhoods and properties near Mill Creek Park can have steep grade and mature trees. A wood fence there has to follow the ground, so we stick-build every section on site and can rack, step, or contour it to the slope.
Youngstown’s historic homes and established neighborhoods call for privacy and pet fencing on city lots, and cedar and pine give a classic look in board-on-board, shadowbox, and picket styles.
Full-privacy options include board-to-board, board-on-board, shadowbox, and horizontal styles, plus dog-ear picket. Decorative options include cap-and-trim and board-on-board cap-and-trim, and open rail styles (3-rail, 4-rail, crossbuck, round rail, and split rail) top out at 5 feet. Privacy and picket heights start at 3 or 4 feet and go up to the limit your city allows. In Youngstown, a 3-foot picket fits near the street, and privacy styles belong 25 feet or more back, up to 6 feet.

In Youngstown’s front yard, fences can be 3 feet tall going back 25 feet from the street, and front-yard fences must sit 6 feet back from the sidewalk. Once you’re 25 feet or more back from the street the limit is 6 feet, and outside the front yard a fence may go up to the property line. A fence taller than 6 feet needs a variance, and a Mahoning County building permit too. Posts must face inward toward the property being fenced. Posts can be no more than 25 feet apart.
Based on the City of Youngstown residential fencing FAQ (last updated 2020). Rules change, so confirm current requirements with the city before you build.
Youngstown’s fence sheet lists wood as painted or stained, so plan to stain or paint your fence after it’s installed. Talk through timing with us before we build, since new pressure-treated lumber usually has to dry out before it takes stain.
