Services Commonly Requested in New Haven
Different parts of the area call for different fence solutions. These are the options we install most often — and why.
NEW HAVEN FENCE PERMITS, HEIGHT & PLACEMENT RULES
| Category | What the City Requires |
|---|---|
| Permit Requirement | A fence permit is required for any new fencing and may be required for maintenance and replacement of existing fencing. |
| Improvement Location Permit (ILP) | An ILP must be submitted to the City of New Haven Planning Department before installation begins. |
| Planning Department Contact | New Haven Planning Department: 260-748-7040 |
| Zoning Ordinance | Fences are governed by the New Haven Unified Development Ordinance. Review specific height and setback requirements with the Planning Department before installation. |
| Utility Clearance | Call 811 at least 2 full working days before digging. This is an Indiana state law requirement. |
| Easements & ROW | Fences may not be constructed within the public right-of-way or within any utility easement. If a fence is built over an easement, the easement holder may remove it at any time. Repair or replacement costs would be your responsibility. |
| Structural Orientation | We orient all support structures to face inward — a standard industry practice. Confirm whether your local zoning district or HOA requires this orientation before installation. |

What Locals Say About Our Work
Gleave Construction did an amazing job putting in our fence around our pool in our backyard. They were efficient and answered all questions in a very timely manner. The product is of very high quality and their installation was very well done as the fence is very sturdy. We customized our fence with a product that looks like stone pillars and this has held up perfectly in all 4 seasons of NW Ohio. We HIGHLY recommend Gleave Construction for your fencing needs.
Rachel Gerken
We had a new fence installed in our back yard by Gleave construction. The price and product selection was good but what really stood out was the team. They were prompt, courteous and did quality work. I really appreciated that and would highly recommend. Oh and the fence looks fantastic.
