Fence Installation & Repair services in Millbrook
Why do so many Millbrook fences lean after ten or fifteen years? The usual answer is the post, not the boards. Summers here are long, hot and humid, heavy rain soaks the ground for days at a time, and termites are active most of the year, so a pine post that was not treated for ground contact goes soft where it meets the dirt. Millbrook grew fast from the 1980s on, and a large share of its fences were built with the subdivisions and are now at that age. Soil is mostly sandy loam, with wetter ground along Mill Creek and the low land toward the Alabama River. We set ground-contact treated posts in concrete shaped to shed water, and keep pickets a little above the soil. Older lots around Robinson Springs are larger and often need long runs and wide gates.

Permits and local rules
The City of Millbrook Building Department lists fences with additions and outbuildings in its residential permit process, so ask the department before building. Millbrook has also adopted the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, which governs pool barriers. Height limits by yard come from the city's Zoning Ordinance, and we confirm them with Planning and Zoning for your lot.
