Fence Installation & Repair in Lancaster, MA
Lancaster is one of the oldest towns in Worcester County, with a historic town center, farmland along the Nashua River and plenty of newer homes on the side roads. Builtwell Fence LLC is a family-owned fence company based in nearby Fitchburg, building fences across North Central Massachusetts since 1993.
Fencing That Suits a Historic Town
A fence in front of an older home should look like it belongs there. For Lancaster’s traditional colonials and farmhouses, we often suggest:
- Picket fencing in cedar or vinyl, for a classic front-yard look.
- Ornamental aluminum and steel, which give you the look of wrought iron without the rust.
- Post-and-rail fencing to frame a lawn, a field or the end of a driveway.
For backyards, vinyl privacy fencing and solid cedar are the most common choices, and pool fencing is a must for any yard with a pool.
Fields, Floodplain and Open Land
Parts of Lancaster are low and open, near the river and its brooks, while other areas are wooded and rocky. Wet ground and rocky ground each need their own approach. In soft soil, posts need enough depth and support to stay plumb; in rocky soil, they need to be set carefully around stone. Either way, we set critical posts below the frost line so the fence doesn’t heave over the winter. If your property is near wetlands or the river, we’ll help you check what the town requires before work begins.
For Businesses and Larger Properties
Businesses, farms and contractors along Lancaster’s main routes often need secure perimeters. We install chain link fencing, wide gates and automated entry systems for yards, storage areas and equipment. We work with residential, commercial and industrial clients.

Matching the Fence to the House
Around the town common and its historic buildings, a fence is part of the streetscape. We’ll help you pick a height, picket style and color that suits the age of your home, and we’ll set it so it lines up neatly with walkways, stone walls and the driveway. Newer homes on the outskirts often go with vinyl privacy in back and something more open in front.
