Commercial Fence Installation in Lawrence, KS
Fencing a business, a school campus or a multi-building property is a different job from fencing a backyard: different scale, a real spec, and a schedule that has to work around people already using the site. Lawrence Fence Company has been installing fence across Lawrence and Douglas County since 2005.

Commercial Fence Installation
Commercial fence work starts with a different set of questions than residential. How many linear feet, at what height, in what gauge? How many gate openings, and how wide do they need to be for a delivery truck or a mower deck? Who has to get through, and who does not? We install fence for residential, commercial and industrial properties across Lawrence and Douglas County, and we are used to talking to the person who actually owns the problem, whether that is a property manager, a general contractor, a facilities director, or a business owner who wants the lot secured before winter.
Every commercial estimate starts on site. We walk the line with you, measure the real linear footage instead of scaling it off a plat, confirm height and mesh, count and size the gate openings, and flag the things that change a number later: buried utilities, a drainage swale, a grade change, an existing fence that has to come out first. What comes back is an itemized scope you can set next to another bid or hand to an owner, a board or a GC. The on-site estimate is free with no obligation, and if you already have civil drawings or a written spec, we will bid to it.
A commercial run can be a few hundred feet or a few thousand, and the footage mostly changes the schedule rather than the method. The bigger decision is material. Chain link is still the workhorse for a commercial perimeter: galvanized steel where function and budget lead, vinyl-coated where the mesh should carry a color or disappear into a treeline, black powder-coated where the fence faces a street and has to look like it belongs there. For a campus entrance, a clubhouse or an amenity area, commercial-grade aluminum gives you the same open sightline with a finished edge. Where the scope calls for solid screening instead of see-through mesh — a dumpster enclosure, a mechanical yard, a patio — wood and composite panels do the same job as a residential privacy fence at a heavier spec.
Kansas ground drives most of the detail work. Douglas County clay holds water, freeze-thaw cycles lift a shallow post, and open ground west of town catches enough wind to test a tall run, so post depth, footing diameter and terminal-post spacing get set for your site rather than copied off the last job. We cover Lawrence and the rest of Douglas County, including Eudora, Baldwin City, Lecompton and Perry, plus Topeka and the surrounding area.

Commercial Fence Installation questions, answered
- How do you price a commercial fence project?
- Off the scope, not off a rule of thumb. We walk the site, measure the real linear footage, confirm height, mesh and gauge, count and size the gate openings, and flag anything that would move the number later, such as utilities, grade, drainage or removing an existing fence. You get an itemized estimate you can hand to an owner or a board. The site visit is free; call (785) 521-7105 to set one up.
- Can you bid from our drawings or match a written spec?
- Yes. Send the site plan or the fence spec and we will bid to it, including framework schedule, mesh gauge, footing depth and gate hardware. If the drawings are older than the site, we field-verify the line before pricing it, because a fence line drawn before the grading changed is a fast route to a change order.
- Does a commercial fence need a permit in Lawrence?
- Often, and the requirements vary by fence height and where the property sits. Commercial sites can also carry zoning, screening or site-plan conditions a homeowner never runs into. We work inside Lawrence and Douglas County rules regularly and will tell you what your project is likely to need before you lock in a height, then help you confirm the specifics with the city for your parcel.
- How far out are you, and how long does installation take?
- That depends on linear footage, gate count and material lead time, so we give you a start window and a working-day estimate with the bid instead of a guess over the phone. Multi-phase sites get the sequence in writing, so you know which sections come out of service and when.
- Can you install while we stay open?
- Usually. We install in sections, leave temporary openings where trucks and tenants have to get through, and schedule around delivery windows, school hours or shift changes. Tell us which entrances cannot close and we will build the sequence around them.
- What areas do you cover for commercial work?
- Lawrence and the rest of Douglas County, including Eudora, Baldwin City, Lecompton and Perry, plus Topeka and the surrounding area. If your site sits just outside that, call (785) 521-7105 and ask.
