How Much Does a Fence Cost in Sicklerville, NJ?

The honest answer to "how much does a fence cost in Sicklerville" is: it depends on three things. Linear footage, material, and what the ground looks like once we start digging. Everything else is rounding. Here is what we actually quote for fence installs across Sicklerville, Turnersville, Williamstown, and the rest of South Jersey in 2026.

The short version

Most South Jersey fence installs land somewhere in these ranges, installed, including post-set in concrete and standard gates:

• Chain link: $20 to $30 per linear foot. Cheapest perimeter, durable, low style.
• Pressure-treated wood: $35 to $50 per linear foot. Privacy or picket.
• Vinyl / PVC: $50 to $75 per linear foot. Privacy, picket, or pool-code panels.
• Aluminum: $55 to $80 per linear foot. Powder-coated, decorative, pool-code compliant.
• Wrought iron: $70 to $120 per linear foot. Decorative, often paired with brick columns.

A typical 180 linear foot residential yard runs $4,500 to $14,000 installed depending on material. That is the honest spread.

What pushes the number up

The three biggest cost movers we see in Camden and Gloucester County:

1. Hard ground or buried surprises

Sicklerville and a lot of the older Turnersville neighborhoods have heavy clay and the occasional buried tree stump. We call 811 before we dig and we mark the line, but a stump or buried concrete pad we did not know about adds 1 to 2 hours per affected post. We tell you the moment we hit it. We do not hide it in the bill.

2. Long gates and double drive gates

Single 4-foot walk gates are usually included in the base quote. Anything wider (a 6-foot single, a 10-foot or 16-foot double-drive gate for a pickup or trailer) needs heavier hinges, a drop rod, and sometimes a steel reinforcement frame inside a vinyl panel. Add $400 to $1,200 per gate depending on width and material.

3. Slope

A yard that drops more than 12 inches across a single fence panel needs either racked panels (for chain link or aluminum) or stair-stepped panels with cut bottom rails (for vinyl and wood). Both cost more in labor, not material. Plan for 10 to 15 percent more on a sloped yard.

What does NOT push the number up as much as people think

• Permits. Most South Jersey townships charge a flat $50 to $150 fence permit fee. We pull the permit as part of the job. That fee is on the quote, line-itemed.
• 811 markouts. Free. Always. Required by state law.
• Removing the old fence. We line-item this so you can see what hauling and dump costs are running. Usually $4 to $8 per linear foot of old fence to demo and haul.

By township, what changes

Pricing is mostly the same across our service area. The differences are administrative:

• Sicklerville (Winslow Twp): Flat $75 fence permit, no zoning review for residential fences under 6 feet in side and rear yards.
• Turnersville and Washington Twp: Permit fee around $100, plus a zoning sign-off for any front-yard fence.
• Williamstown and Glassboro (Monroe Twp / Glassboro Boro): Permit fee $50 to $100. Front-yard fences capped at 4 feet, rear-yard fences capped at 6 feet without a variance.
• Blackwood (Gloucester Twp): Permit fee around $75. Stricter on corner-lot setbacks.

HOAs add a separate layer. If you are inside one, the HOA review usually takes 1 to 3 weeks and may require a survey, a sample panel photo, and a written approval letter before we start digging. We have done this enough times to know the paperwork. If you give us your HOA contact, we file the submission for you.

What we always include in our number

• Materials delivered to your yard.
• Post holes dug to NJ frost depth (36 inches minimum, deeper on heavier posts).
• Posts set in concrete and cured before panels go up.
• One standard 4-foot gate, hung level, self-closing if a pool is on the property.
• 811 markout call and permit paperwork.
• Cleanup. Every scrap hauled away. Lawn left how we found it.

What is usually a separate line item

• Old fence demo and haul.
• Extra gates beyond the first one.
• Brick columns or stone bases (we coordinate with a mason on these).
• Tree or stump removal in the fence line.
• Major grading on a sloped lot.

How to keep the number honest

Three things to ask any fence contractor in South Jersey before you sign:

• Are post holes dug to 36 inches and set in concrete? If the answer is "we tamp them in," walk away.
• Is the permit included in the quote, or is it a pass-through later?
• What is the lead time on the material? Vinyl and aluminum can run 2 to 6 weeks. Wood and chain link are usually in-stock.
