In Highland Park, no two properties are exactly alike, and your fence shouldn't be treated like they are. From established neighborhoods with mature landscaping to newer builds with unique layouts, every project requires a closer look.
At Fenceworks, we don't rely on rough measurements or satellite images to quote your project. We meet you on-site, walk your property, and design your fence around real conditions — grading, obstacles, and how your space is actually used.
If you've been driving down Route 41 over the years, you might already know us. Fenceworks has been family owned and operated since 1967 — never franchised, never sold — just the same North Shore family business, now with a new indoor showroom in Northbrook where families can explore and test products year-round. We're still The Guy on 41. Just not technically on Route 41 anymore.
From consultation to installation, your project is handled with care by a local team that's been focused on getting it right since 1967.
What We Install
Highland Park homeowners trust Fenceworks for fencing that’s built to last and designed to fit their property, not just a generic layout. Whether you're looking for added privacy, improved curb appeal, or a secure boundary for kids and pets, we guide you through the right options.
We install a wide range of fencing solutions, including vinyl, wood, aluminum, composite, and chain link, all tailored to your space. Every installation starts with an in-person consultation so we can account for property lines, elevation changes, and long-term performance.
Backyard Solutions in Highland Park
Your backyard should feel like an extension of your home, and in Highland Park, that often means creating a space where family time comes naturally.
Beyond fencing, Fenceworks helps homeowners plan and build complete backyard setups. Instead of sourcing products from multiple places and coordinating installation yourself, we handle everything from selection to professional installation.
Playsets and Playgrounds in Highland Park
Creating a safe, engaging outdoor space for kids starts with the right setup. We install premium outdoor playsets and backyard swing sets designed for long-term use and active play.
From wooden swing sets with monkey bars, rock walls, and a trapeze bar, to full backyard playground layouts, we help you choose the right structure based on your yard and your child’s age.
Every play structure is installed with safety and durability in mind, including proper spacing and ground recommendations like rubber mulch for a soft, reliable surface.
Basketball Hoops in Highland Park
A well-installed basketball hoop can turn your driveway into a go-to spot for daily activity. We help Highland Park families choose high-quality systems and install them with precision.
Instead of guessing or attempting a difficult install yourself, we ensure proper placement, leveling, and long-term stability so your hoop performs the way it should from day one.
Trampolines in Highland Park
Trampolines are a great way to encourage outdoor activity, but only when they’re installed correctly. We provide guidance on placement, safety considerations, and long-term use.
Our team ensures your trampoline is positioned and installed for both performance and peace of mind, so your backyard stays fun and functional.
Featured Backyard Collections in Highland Park
Highland Park homeowners often prioritize both aesthetics and durability. The right fence material depends on your property layout, privacy goals, maintenance preferences, and long-term plans.
At Fenceworks, we guide you through each option so your fence complements your home, not just your property line.
Vinyl Fences
Vinyl fences are a popular choice in Lake Forest neighborhoods where homeowners want a polished look without ongoing staining or sealing. They are best for low-maintenance privacy and clean architectural lines. They resist weather, don’t rot, and maintain color consistency over time.
Aluminum Fences
Aluminum fences provide security while preserving views and curb appeal. They’re especially common around pools and landscaped front lawns where visibility matters. They’re best for pool enclosures, front yards, and open-concept properties.
Wood Fences
Wood fencing delivers warmth and character that blends beautifully with mature trees and classic Lake Forest architecture. They’re perfect for traditional homes and natural privacy. It’s ideal for homeowners who value timeless style and customizable design.
Composite Fences
Composite fences offer the look of wood with enhanced resistance to moisture, warping, and fading. They’re the best for long-term durability with an upscale finish. They’re a strong option for families planning to stay in their home long-term.
Chainlink Fencing
Chainlink fencing is cost-effective and functional and commonly used for pet areas, secondary yard spaces, or larger lots where full privacy isn’t required. They’re perfect for practical containment and larger properties.
As a local fence company serving Lake Forest, we help match material selection to property style and municipal requirements.
