Fencing in a city that keeps building
Bentonville is one of the most active fencing markets in Northwest Arkansas, and Thomas Fence has been installing here for over 30 years. New residential development and steady commercial construction keep demand high across every property type, from a single backyard to a business perimeter.
The city's neighborhoods run from the tree-lined streets near historic downtown to large planned communities on its expanding perimeter. Our Bentonville work reflects that range: stained cedar shadowbox with steel-framed gates, horizontal cedar screens beside modern homes, black aluminum slat enclosures at commercial buildings, and galvanized chain link around secured sites.
HOAs and planned communities
Many of the newer subdivisions in Bentonville have active HOAs with specific fencing requirements around materials, colors and heights. Thomas Fence is familiar with the approval process common in the city's planned communities, and we can help you understand what your HOA requires before a single post goes in the ground.
That conversation is worth having early. Settling the material, color and height with your association first means the crew builds the fence once, to the approved plan, instead of redoing it later.
Trails, commercial sites and estate properties
Bentonville is known for Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the Razorback Greenway trail network and mountain biking on the Slaughter Pen and Back 40 trails. Properties near the trail system, both residential and commercial, are among the most active fencing jobs we see in the city. Our crews have also installed a steel handrail along a curving trail ramp here.
Whether you need a privacy fence for a residential lot, a decorative ornamental steel fence for a commercial building, or an automated gate for an estate property, the same licensed crew handles it. We have hung arched estate gates between stone columns, built four-rail pine horse corrals, and set cantilever security gates on commercial and secured sites.
Estimates are free, and no deposit is required for standard installations. After you accept, standard residential jobs are typically scheduled within 1 to 3 weeks, we call in the 811 utility locate, and most residential fences install in 2 to 3 business days under a written 1-year workmanship warranty.
Fence permits in Bentonville
Permit requiredBentonville requires a fence permit before construction, applied for through the city. Thomas Fence does not pull permits, so the property owner applies, and we are happy to talk you through the application before you file it.
Height, placement and setback rules depend on your zone and lot, so confirm them with the city before you pick a style. If your subdivision has an HOA, that approval is a separate step from the city permit. Links to each town's permit office are on our permits page.
