DuPont, Pierce CountyAbout 15 minutes (10 miles) from our Lakewood base

DuPont is about 10 miles and 15 minutes down I-5 from our Lakewood base, and it is unlike any other town we serve because almost all of it is young. Most homes went up after the 1990s inside the master-planned Northwest Landing community, built on the ground of the old DuPont explosives plant. In a town planned that deliberately, the HOA, not just the city, decides what a fence may look like: its style, its height, and even its stain color. Fencing here starts with the design rules and only then moves to the build. We have worked within those standards since 2017, and we are insured and bonded.

Northwest Landing, HOA standards and newer lots

Because Northwest Landing was master-planned, uniformity is the point, and that shapes every fence in town. An HOA packet typically spells out an approved style, a maximum height, and an approved stain or color so the neighborhood reads as one cohesive community. A fence that ignores those standards can be ordered out, so we build to the packet from the start rather than hoping it passes review afterward.

The newer housing stock helps in one way and sets expectations in another. These homes have modern lots and modern drainage, so we are rarely fighting the base rot that plagues century-old fences, though DuPont still catches the regional 44 inches of rain a year across the long October-to-April wet season, so quality posts and finishes still matter. The town's spot beside Joint Base Lewis-McChord also means a steady flow of military families, many arriving on PCS orders and needing a yard fenced fast so the kids and the dog have a safe space the week they land.

Fences we build most in DuPont

In a design-controlled town, clean and compliant wins. These are the fences that fill our DuPont schedule.

  • Vinyl fence, a low-upkeep favorite that meets many Northwest Landing color standards
  • Residential fencing built to the exact style and height an HOA packet specifies
  • Dog fence for the many young families enclosing a yard for pets and kids
  • Wood fence stained to the community-approved color for a consistent look

The review process is less intimidating when the design arrives built to the rules, and that is the service we actually provide. Instead of guessing at a style and hoping the board agrees, we read the covenants, match the approved height and color, and hand you a submission the committee has little reason to reject. A fence that clears review on the first pass saves weeks, and in a PCS timeline weeks are the whole margin.

Newer construction helps the build itself move quickly. Modern lots tend to have clean grading and known utility runs, so once the design is approved there is little standing between the locate and a finished fence, which is exactly what a family settling in on orders needs. We also coordinate around a closing date when the keys are not quite in hand yet.

How we handle HOA approval in DuPont

Getting the design right before anything is built is the whole game in DuPont, so our process puts the rules first. Here is the sequence we follow.

  1. Call (614) 543-4232 and let us know your neighborhood and that you are in an HOA community.
  2. We measure the yard and review your HOA's approved style, height and color requirements with you.
  3. We open the 811 ticket so utility locators get their legally required two business days to paint the lot ahead of the dig.
  4. We provide a quote and a spec you can take straight to the HOA review for approval.
  5. Once approved, our crew installs to the packet so the finished fence passes inspection the first time.

Fast, compliant fencing for JBLM families in DuPont

We know the rhythm of a PCS move: a family lands with a short window to get settled, and a fenced yard is near the top of the list. Serving DuPont since 2017, we have the HOA standards down and can move from estimate to installed fence quickly, with the paperwork a review board wants in hand so nothing stalls on a technicality.

We have come to know the Northwest Landing neighborhoods well enough to anticipate what each board tends to want, down to the stain tones that pass without a second look. That familiarity turns an unfamiliar, paperwork-heavy process into a short one for the homeowner. For a family that just drove across the country, handing the fence off to a crew that already speaks the association's language is one less thing to manage during a hard few weeks. Since 2017 we have fenced yards for one incoming household after another here.
