What Does a Fence Cost in Indianapolis?
We do not publish a price per foot because two fences of the same length rarely cost the same. The estimate is free. What follows is what moves the price, so you know what a written number is built on.
What moves the price
- Length. More feet of fence takes more material and more labor.
- Height. A taller fence uses more material and more labor per foot.
- Material. In order from lower to higher up-front cost: chain link, wood, vinyl, aluminum, composite and ornamental steel. That is an order only — the estimate gives the real figure.
- Gates. The number and size of gates, and any automation, add to the price.
- Corners and slopes. More corners mean more posts and bracing. A fence on a slope takes more labor than one on flat ground.
- Ground conditions. Rocky, wet or clay-heavy ground takes longer to dig and set posts.
- Removal and haul-away. Taking out and hauling away an old fence is its own line on the estimate.
- Permits and HOA requirements. Where a permit or HOA approval applies, it can add steps and cost. See the fence permit guide.
Upkeep is part of the cost
Wood costs less up front and more in upkeep — it wants staining and attention over the years. Vinyl and aluminum are the reverse: more up front and less upkeep. The material you pick is a balance between what you pay now and what you spend later.

Fence cost questions
Why don't you publish a price per foot?
Because two fences of the same length rarely cost the same. Length, height, material, the number and size of gates, corners and slopes, ground conditions, and removing an old fence all change the price. A written estimate after we see the site is the honest number.
Does the material change the price?
Yes. In order from lower to higher up-front cost: chain link, wood, vinyl, aluminum, composite and ornamental steel. That is an order only — the estimate gives the real figure for your fence.
Does the height change the price?
Yes. A taller fence takes more material and more labor per foot than a shorter one.
Does removing an old fence add to the price?
It can. Removal and haul-away of an old fence is its own line on the estimate.
Is the estimate free?
Yes. You call or send the form, we look at the site and measure, and you get a written price. There is no charge for the estimate.
Is financing available?
Yes. Financing is available through Hearth. See our financing page to check your options or apply online.
