How Much Does a Fence Cost in St. Louis?

Every fence is different, so we built you a tool instead of a table. Put in your footage, pick your fence, tell us about your gates and your ground, and it will give you a real budget range built from what we actually charge — not a national average.

Gates

4′ walk gates. Your first two are included in the price. Wood gates are framed in cedar on 4×6 posts so they do not sag; every gate gets a self-closing latch.

10′ double drive gates. Two 5′ leaves that swing open for a mower, a trailer, or a car. Add one if you need to get equipment into the back yard.

Tear-out of an existing fence

Your ground

St. Charles, St. Peters, O’Fallon, Wentzville, and most of North County dig easy. The further south and west you go toward the river bluffs, the more rock we hit — and every hole takes longer.

What this includes. Permit, drawings, utility locate, all materials, labor, concrete for every post, your first two 4′ walk gates, and cleanup. This is a budget range to plan around, not a quote — property lines, slope, access, and what is buried in your yard all move the number. The only way to get a real price is for us to walk it with you.

What the number covers

Complete new build including the permit, drawings, utility locate, all materials, labor, concrete for every post, your first two 4′ walk gates, and cleanup. Fence heights of 6′ and under on reasonably level ground.

Tear-out of an existing fence adds $10 per foot and includes pulling the old posts and concrete. Rocky ground (Eureka, Pacific, High Ridge, Wildwood, and the river bluffs) adds about $5 per foot because every hole takes longer. Slopes that need the fence stepped or racked, running the fence line through trees or roots, and hand-digging near utilities can all move the number — we will tell you before we start.

Short runs cost more per foot. The permit, drawings, utility locate, and getting a crew to your house cost the same whether we build 60 feet or 240, so under about 140 feet the price per foot climbs. That is built into the calculator.

OUR FENCES COME WITH A 1 TO 3 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY ON LABOR AND MATERIALS — one year on pressure-treated wood, three years on vinyl and chain link. It is a common-sense warranty: if something comes back on our workmanship or a material fails, we cover it. If a car goes through it, we do not. Pressure-treated posts checking, splitting, and shrinking as they dry is normal for the material and not a defect — we will tell you that half a dozen times before you sign.

Before we can build: you need a property survey with metal stakes at the corners (we recommend Topos Surveying Corp., 314-838-5806, roughly $800–$1,400), and if you have an HOA, its written approval — the homeowner handles both. We handle the permit and the utility locate. Everything you need to know before a fence project is on our fence page.
