Fencing Is the Whole Job
Ludington Fence Company does one thing: fences. Installation and repair of wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, farm, and commercial fencing across Ludington and Mason County. We're not a landscaping crew that also sets posts, or a general contractor squeezing a fence in between decks — fencing is the trade, and everything about how we work is built around doing it correctly in this specific place.
That matters here more than most places. A fence that would be perfectly fine inland can fail early a mile from Lake Michigan, because the conditions are genuinely different: harder wind, sandier soil, deep frost, and humid lake air that eats cheap hardware. We install for the conditions the fence will actually live in.
How We Work
- Free, written quotes. We walk the property, measure, talk through materials and gate placement, and put a number in writing. No pressure, no "sign today" pricing games.
- Straight per-foot pricing. You'll know what the fence costs and why before anything is scheduled — and we publish typical ranges right on this site so you can sanity-check us.
- Permits and utilities handled properly. MISS DIG 811 gets called before every dig, and we help sort the zoning compliance permit the City of Ludington requires — and whatever your township asks for instead.
- Posts set below the frost line. About 42 inches in this part of Michigan, with footings sized up for sandy soil. It's the least visible part of the fence and the most important.
- Honest recommendations. If chain link solves your problem for half the price of what you called about, we'll say so. If repair beats replacement, we'll say that too.
What We Install
Residential, agricultural, and commercial fencing across the county:
- Wood & privacy fence — cedar and treated pine, privacy, shadowbox, picket, and horizontal.
- Vinyl fence — the no-stain option for cottages, rentals, and anyone done with maintenance.
- Chain link fence — galvanized and black vinyl-coated, for yards, pets, and business perimeters.
- Aluminum & ornamental fence — pool-code enclosures and view-friendly boundary fencing that won't rust in lake air.
- Farm & agricultural fencing — high-tensile, woven wire, board, and split rail for the working side of the county.
- Commercial fencing — security chain link, ornamental frontage, screening, and gates for local businesses.
- Fence repair — every type above, including fences we didn't install.
Built Around Local Conditions
Most of what separates a 25-year fence from a 5-year fence around here is invisible the day it's finished. Post depth against a 42-inch frost line. Footing diameter in soil that's mostly sand. Panel styles matched to how much west wind a lot actually takes. Fasteners that shrug off humid air instead of streaking rust down the boards by year three. Those are the details we obsess over, because they're the ones that decide whether you call us again in two years or twenty.
Where We Work
Based in the Ludington area and working throughout Mason County — Ludington, Scottville, Pentwater, Hart, Custer, Free Soil, Fountain, the Hamlin Lake area — plus Manistee and nearby lakeshore communities.
