Providence & Arboretum Area Fences
Greenway-aware, HOA-friendly fences for neighborhoods along Providence Road and near the Arboretum.
Neighborhoods along Providence Road near the Arboretum often back onto McAlpine Creek greenway land, wooded buffers or common areas. Black aluminum and black chain link keep views open on those lines, while wood or vinyl privacy and pool fences fill out the yard, all within HOA rules where they apply.
The area
South Charlotte along Providence Road, from the Arboretum shopping center toward Ballantyne, with established subdivisions and greenway corridors.

The greenway effect
McAlpine Creek and its greenway run through this part of south Charlotte. Homes that back onto the greenway love the trees and trail access but want privacy and safe yards for pets. Stream buffers and floodplain mapping can limit what goes in the low areas behind some homes.
Fence choices
- Black aluminum along greenway-facing lines
- Black vinyl-coated chain link for budget-friendly dog yards
- Wood or vinyl privacy along side lines between houses
- Garden fences to keep deer out of vegetable beds
HOAs
Many neighborhoods along Providence Road have HOAs with fence standards. Bring your guidelines to the estimate.
Trees
Large hardwoods are common. We plan posts around roots and keep fences away from trunks.
Questions Charlotte homeowners ask
Does the greenway own land behind my house?
Possibly. Check Polaris parcel lines and your plat. Never fence onto public land.
What about deer?
Deer are common near greenways in south Charlotte. Garden fences need height.
