Port St. Lucie Fence Company installs and repairs fences in Jensen Beach and the surrounding parts of Martin County. We build vinyl privacy fences, aluminum, wood and chain link, add and fix gates, and file the Martin County permit. A 6-foot vinyl privacy fence costs about $32–$55 per foot installed and a 4-foot aluminum fence about $30–$50 per foot.
A small town between the lagoon and the river
Jensen Beach is not a city at all but an unincorporated community in Martin County, once known as the pineapple capital of the world before the fields gave way to homes. Today it runs from the lagoon shore and the causeway out to Hutchinson Island, west through older neighborhoods of block homes on generous lots, to newer gated communities closer to the Port St. Lucie line. That mix means everything from a 4-foot picket front fence on a cottage to long runs of vinyl privacy around a newer home.
Permits come from the county
Because Jensen Beach has no city government, fence permits go through Martin County rather than a town hall. The county limits residential fences to 6 feet and keeps them back from navigable waterways, so on lagoon-front and canal lots the layout is set by the survey and the setback before style comes into it. If your community also has an HOA, its approval is a separate step, and we provide the drawings it asks for.
Choosing materials this close to the water
Jensen Beach sits right on the Indian River Lagoon, with the ocean just across Hutchinson Island, so salt air is constant. Aluminum and vinyl hold up best here, fitted with stainless or coated hinges, latches and screws. Wood works inland if it is sealed and kept off the soil. Galvanized chain link lasts longer away from the shore; near it, the vinyl-coated kind is the better buy.
Wind is the other factor. Exposed lots near the lagoon catch the full force of passing storms, so we set posts deeper on 6-foot privacy runs, and we will talk you through semi-privacy or open styles where a solid panel would catch too much wind.
