Fence Companies Detroit installs fences across Bloomfield Hills, an exclusive city of wooded estate lots, home of Cranbrook. You get a local crew, honest up-front pricing, and a fence built for Michigan: posts set below the 42-inch frost line in concrete, so it stands straight through every freeze-thaw winter instead of leaning by spring.
The wrought-iron look, without the rust
Ornamental aluminum gives Detroit-area homes the classic iron look that suits our older brick neighborhoods, without the constant scraping and repainting real iron demands in our climate. It is the fence of choice in historic districts and around pools, where style and sightlines both matter.
Every fence we build is set for Michigan. The frost line here runs about 42 inches deep, so we set posts below it in proper concrete footings. Posts set shallower get gripped by the freeze-thaw cycle in our clay-heavy soil and jacked out of plumb a little more every winter, which is why so many older fences lean. Ours do not.
Where ornamental aluminum shines
- Historic homes - the traditional look historic-district guidelines favor.
- Pool enclosures - meets code while keeping the view open.
- Front yards - decorative heights that meet front-yard rules.
- Sloped yards - rackable panels follow the grade cleanly.
Ornamental styles, grades and where each belongs
Style-wise, flat-top ornamental reads clean and modern, spear-top gives the classic wrought-iron silhouette that suits the metro's older brick neighborhoods, and arched and finial styles dress up entries and front walks. Aluminum also comes in real grades: residential for yards and pools, commercial for apartments and storefronts, industrial where strength matters. The look is nearly identical; the wall thickness and rail size are not.
Purpose guide: pick ornamental aluminum when you want pool-code compliance with an open view, when historic-district guidelines in places like Boston-Edison, Indian Village or the Grosse Pointes call for a traditional open fence, or when a sloped yard needs rackable panels that follow the grade without stair-stepped gaps.

Common questions
Does aluminum fence rust?
No. That is its biggest advantage over steel and wrought iron in Michigan. The powder-coated finish keeps its color without painting, through snow, salt spray and rain.
Is aluminum strong enough for security?
For residential boundary and pool fencing, absolutely. For high-security commercial applications we quote heavier commercial-grade aluminum or steel options.
What are the fence rules in Bloomfield Hills?
Front and side yard fences need Planning Commission approval, open fences cap at 4 feet there and rear yards at 6 feet, and chain link is restricted. We manage the review and build to the estate standards.
