Fencing in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI — Estate Ornamental, Cedar, Gates
Woods lots: ornamental aluminum that fits the street, custom cedar and gates that fit the house.

Grosse Pointe Woods is a finish standard. BH Fencing installs ornamental aluminum on the elevations that face the street, custom cedar privacy where the garden needs a wall, and driveway gates that look like they were drawn with the house — hung on posts that survive Wayne County freeze-thaw and lake-effect moisture.
Fencing Grosse Pointe Woods homeowners rely on
The Woods sits between the lake influence and the older Grosse Pointe street grid: larger lots than Ferndale, more formal than a new Canton HOA. Front yards want black ornamental that keeps the brick and the trees visible. Backyards want cedar that hides a patio without looking like a lumberyard special.
Moisture off the lake still rots lazy wood bottoms and dulls cheap coatings. We keep cedar off grade, use quality ornamental systems, and talk vinyl only where it's the right climate play — some owners want it on a wet rear line and ornamental on the street. Mixed materials have to be designed, not stacked.
Custom gates are part of the elevation. We measure swing, apron, and plow paths. Hinge posts are structural. If an operator is in the future, we prep in the quote. Property lines on estate lots are still lines — we build to pins, especially where gardens and hedges have been “the fence” for twenty years.

Gate or fence down after a storm — how fast can you get here?
A driveway gate that won't close or a panel on a sidewalk is first in line when we can. Send photos. Sunday–Thursday 9–5, Friday 9–12, Saturday closed.
What does estate fencing typically cost in the Woods?
Aluminum typically $32–$55/lf. Custom cedar follows the wood band ($28–$48/lf typical) and can sit higher with detail. Driveway gates often $1,500–$6,000+. Ranges, not a quote — we measure the real openings.
Repair ornamental sections or replace the front run?
Impact-bent pickets and latch work are repairs (many repairs $250–$1,800). If the front run is a mix of failed coat and walked posts, a single new ornamental line looks like the house again. We'll show the fork on site.
