Exterior Fences
Professional fence installation and repair for Greater Phoenix homes, from wood privacy fences to wrought iron, vinyl, block walls, pool safety fencing, and custom gates.
Making Life Better In Greater Phoenix & East Valley
A well-built fence does more than mark your property line. It provides privacy, security, curb appeal, and peace of mind for your family. At Runyon Construction Group, we design and install exterior fences for homeowners throughout Greater Phoenix, the East Valley, and Maricopa and Pinal counties. With decades of construction experience in Arizona, we understand the materials, styles, and engineering required to build fences that hold up to the desert climate and look great for years.
Arizona’s extreme heat, intense UV exposure, and monsoon winds create unique challenges for fencing materials. That is why material selection and proper installation matter so much here. A fence that performs well in a mild climate can warp, fade, crack, or blow over in the Phoenix metro area if it is not built with desert conditions in mind. Our team helps you choose the right material and design for your property, your budget, and your goals, whether that is total backyard privacy, decorative curb appeal, pool code compliance, or keeping pets and children safe.
Wood privacy fences remain a popular choice for Arizona homeowners who want a classic, natural look with full privacy. We build wood fences using pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and redwood, selecting species that resist splitting and decay in dry heat. Proper post setting with concrete footings and adequate spacing between pickets for wind load are critical details we handle on every installation. We also apply UV-resistant stains and sealants to extend the life of the wood and maintain its appearance.
Wrought iron and ornamental metal fences are a staple of Arizona landscaping. They provide security and define property boundaries without blocking views or airflow, making them ideal for front yards, side yards, and desert-style landscapes. Our wrought iron installations include rust-resistant coatings and powder-finished surfaces that withstand years of sun exposure. We offer a range of designs from simple picket styles to ornate scrollwork and custom patterns.
Vinyl and PVC fencing has grown in popularity because it requires virtually no maintenance. It will not rot, warp, crack, or need painting, and modern vinyl products offer realistic wood-grain textures and a variety of colors. We install vinyl privacy fences, semi-privacy styles, ranch rail, and picket designs that hold up to Arizona’s heat without fading or becoming brittle.
Block wall and stucco fences are among the most durable and common fence types in the Phoenix area. CMU block walls with a stucco finish match the architectural style of most Arizona homes and provide excellent privacy, noise reduction, and wind resistance. We build block walls on proper concrete footings with steel reinforcement, and we finish them with textured stucco and paint that blends with your home’s exterior.
Pool safety fencing is required by Maricopa County code for any residential property with a swimming pool or spa. We install code-compliant pool fences including wrought iron, mesh removable barriers, and self-closing, self-latching gates that meet all local safety requirements. Our team is familiar with the specific regulations in every East Valley municipality, ensuring your pool fence passes inspection the first time.
Custom gates and access points complete your fence system. We build and install single and double swing gates, sliding gates, pedestrian gates, and automated driveway gates in materials that match your fencing. Gate hardware includes heavy-duty hinges, magnetic latches, keyed locks, and electric operators with remote and keypad control.
We serve homeowners across Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley, Apache Junction, Casa Grande, Maricopa, and surrounding communities. Whether you need a new fence for a new-build home, a replacement for a damaged or aging fence, or an addition to your existing property, our team delivers quality craftsmanship on every project.
