Ornamental metal.
For a polished look that lasts.
Metal is the material you choose when the fence should perfectly match the house. It holds a line without blocking the view, carries a gate beautifully, and does not soften with age.
Metal is a design decision
Every other fence on this site is chosen for a job: privacy, containment, boundary. Ornamental metal is chosen for how it looks, and it so happens to do those jobs too.
That changes how the estimate goes. With cedar we are mostly talking about line and grade. With metal we are also talking about how it meets your house, where the gate swings, what it does to the entry, and whether the whole thing looks like it belongs with the house from the street.
It is a longer conversation on site, and it is worth having on site. Metal shown on a screen next to your siding and your landscaping is a different thing from metal shown on a screen.
Three places metal earns its keep
Styles, heights, colors, and gate integration get walked through on site, against your house.
Front yard and street face
Defines the property, keeps the sightline, and makes the house look finished rather than fenced.
Driveway and entry
An entry gate is the piece people remember. It is also the piece that has to work every single day.
Pool surround
Where code sets the height and the hardware, and you still want it to look like part of the yard.
Six things we do on every metal fence job
We set the line by eye and by string
Metal is rigid and evenly spaced. Any wander in the layout is permanent and obvious. We take the time up front.
Posts go in concrete
Footings sized for the height of the fence and the ground on your lot.
Grade gets a decision, not a default
Metal can step down a slope or follow the grade.. That is a look, not a technicality, and you choose it before we build.
Gates are planned with the fence
Swing direction, latch placement, opening width, and how the gate works in everyday use.
We dig after the locate
Locates called and cleared, permits pulled where your jurisdiction requires one.
We leave it clean
Old fence out, spoils hauled, line raked back.

What people actually say
“An entry gate… a new railing for our historic home — this crew does excellent work… I’d recommend them to anyone for any project that requires high quality work, attention to detail and the aesthetic vision to build something beautiful for the space it’ll live in.”
— Jenifer Wright, Google review“Christian, the lead installer, and his crew were professional, meticulous and took exceptional care of the plants growing inside the majority of the entire fence line.”
— LL J, Google review“If you haven’t seen the quality craftsmanship of Lionheart Fence Builders, take a look at some of their completed projects. Their work truly speaks for itself!”
— Kristine Zitny, Google reviewOn price
Metal sits at the higher end because installation requires more precision, and the gates take more work. You are paying for careful planning, accurate installation, and a finished product that visibly upgrades your property.

Questions we get asked
Do you handle the permit and the utility locate?
Yes. We arrange the utility locate before digging and handle required permits. Since requirements vary by location, we check what applies to your property during the estimate.
What styles, heights and colors are available?
We bring the available options to your estimate so you can see what works with your home. It is easier to make those choices when you see them in place.
Can metal and cedar be combined on one property?
Yes. Metal can work well in front where visibility matters and cedar in back for privacy. We plan how the two meet so the transition looks clean.
What about vinyl, chain link and metal fences?
Each fence type has different structural needs. Steel posts and gate frames are our standard for wood fencing. Vinyl, chain link, and ornamental metal are built for their systems.
What exactly does the lifetime workmanship warranty cover?
It covers installation quality while the original customer owns the property. If our workmanship causes a problem we repair it at no labor cost. Material defects and outside damage are excluded.
How long does the estimate visit take?
Usually under an hour. We walk the line, measure the project, and check grade, access and gate locations. We also look for anything that could complicate the installation.
Is there financing?
Yes. Zero-percent financing is available on approved credit. You can apply online before your estimate so you know your financing options before we sit down to discuss the project.
