Arkansas's Second-Largest City — and a Fencing Market Unlike Any Other
Fayetteville is home to the University of Arkansas and its 30,000-plus students, faculty, and staff — which gives the city a residential density and turnover rate unlike any other market in Northwest Arkansas. The Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers metro earned the top ranking on the 2026 Milken Institute Best-Performing Cities report, and U.S. News ranked Fayetteville among the 75 best cities to live in the country. That combination of a university anchor, strong growth, and national recognition drives consistent demand for both residential and rental property fencing throughout the city.
Fayetteville's neighborhoods span a wide range — from the historic blocks surrounding the U of A campus and the Dickson Street entertainment district to newer residential developments along the city's southern and eastern edges. Properties near campus frequently need wood privacy fencing for rental and owner-occupied homes. The Fayetteville Athletic Complex and Razorback Stadium area sees commercial fencing demand from adjacent businesses and event-related temporary fencing. The Razorback Greenway trail runs through the city, and properties along its corridor are some of the most active fencing inquiries we receive in Fayetteville.
Thomas Fence has installed fencing across every part of Fayetteville since 1993 — residential privacy fences, commercial perimeter fencing, farm and agricultural fencing on the city's rural outskirts, and automated gates for properties requiring access control. Our crew is local, our estimates are free, and no deposit is required for standard installations. If your project is in Fayetteville, we know the terrain.

Fayetteville Fencing FAQs
Do I need a permit for a fence in Fayetteville?
Not for most fences — 7 feet tall or less needs no permit, per the city's permit FAQ. Taller than 7 feet requires a building permit through Building Safety.
How tall can my fence be in Fayetteville?
Behind the house there is no set cap — 7 feet is just where a permit kicks in. In front of the house, a fence can be solid only up to 30 inches. Details: Building Safety.
How close to the street or property line can I build?
Fences can sit on the property line, but nothing over 30 inches can block sight lines, and corner lots keep a 25-foot sight triangle clear at the intersection. Ask the city about your lot: Building Safety.
Who calls for the utility locate?
Thomas Fence does — Arkansas law requires an Arkansas 811 utility locate before digging, and it takes 2 full business days. We call it in for every project.
