Lakeside is a settled Henrico community of post-war homes on regular lots, just north of the Richmond city line in the 23228 ZIP code. When a fence fails, leans, or needs repair, homeowners in this neighborhood call Richmond Fence Pros because we know the work, we show up on time, and we give you straight answers about what needs fixing and what can wait.
Since 2012, our fully insured crews have installed and repaired wood privacy fences, vinyl, chain link, ornamental metal, and gates across Lakeside and the surrounding Richmond area. We're not a national franchise. The same team that quotes your job does the work, and we propose repair before replacement whenever the fence justifies it.
Fence Service in Lakeside, Richmond
Lakeside's single-family housing stock sits on regular residential lots with modest setbacks and shared fence lines. Most homeowners here deal with wood privacy fences, vinyl, or chain link that marks the property boundary and defines the yard. Over the years, we've replaced rotted posts set too shallow, straightened sagging rails, and repaired gates that drag or pull off their hinges. Moisture at the ground line is the main culprit in wood fence failure, and post spacing, concrete depth, and the choice between pressure-treated pine and cedar all affect how long a fence lasts.
We've served Lakeside and the Richmond area since 2012. Our AFA Member Installer credential and full insurance coverage mean you're working with crews who know the craft and protect your property.

How a Fence Job Works in Lakeside
Step 1: Free on-site assessment. Call us at (804) 409-8420 or reach out online. We'll visit your property, walk the fence line, identify what's failed or what you want to build, and discuss options. If you have an existing survey, bring it. We work from the line you identify and coordinate with Henrico County or the City of Richmond on any permit requirements that apply to your project.
Step 2: The work itself. Before we dig post holes, we request a Virginia 811 utility locate to mark buried lines. We set posts in concrete at proper depth and spacing, install rails and pickets (or mesh and tension bands for chain link), and use hardware rated for the material and climate. For wood, we explain the difference between pressure-treated and cedar, and discuss staining or restoration if that's your goal. For vinyl and ornamental metal, we cover gauge, finish, and self-closing gate hardware. If your lot is tight or access is limited, we plan the approach upfront.
Step 3: Cleanup and walkthrough. We haul debris, leave your property clean, and walk through the finished fence with you. Any questions about maintenance or future repair, we answer them before we leave.
Fence costs in Lakeside vary by material, length, and site conditions. Chain link installation starts at $15 per linear foot. Wood privacy fence runs from $25 per linear foot for pressure-treated pine. Vinyl and PVC start at $36 per linear foot. Ornamental aluminum and iron fencing begins at $40 per linear foot. Repairs start at $440 for post replacement or gate work. A full fence replacement or removal runs $2,300 and up, depending on length and material. Automatic driveway gates start at $2,800. The best way to know what your project costs is to call us at (804) 409-8420 for a free estimate. We'll measure, assess site access, discuss material options, and give you a realistic price.
