Mallard Creek Fences
Open, buffer-aware fencing for homes along the Mallard Creek greenway and nearby subdivisions.
Many Mallard Creek-area homes back onto the creek, the greenway or wooded common areas. Before fencing a back line here, confirm where your lot ends and check for stream buffers, floodplain mapping and drainage easements. Black aluminum or black chain link keeps the green view and is less likely to conflict with drainage.

Fence planning

- Check buffer and floodplain mapping
- Choose open fencing near the creek
- Add privacy only where needed
Dogs and wildlife
Deer and coyotes travel along greenways. A 5- to 6-foot fence with a dig guard protects small pets.
HOA rules
Many subdivisions here have HOAs. Bring guidelines to the estimate.
Questions Charlotte homeowners ask
Can I fence up to the greenway?
Only on your own property, and not in ways that violate buffer or easement rules. The greenway itself is public land.
Will a fence near the creek flood?
Fences in mapped floodplains can be damaged and can trap debris. Open fences fare better.
