Port St. Lucie Fence Company builds and repairs fences in Stuart, Palm City and the rest of northern Martin County. Most Stuart jobs are black aluminum on waterfront lots, vinyl privacy fences in the inland neighborhoods, and pool barriers. A 4-foot aluminum fence costs about $30–$50 per foot installed, the same as in Port St. Lucie.
Fences that share the yard with the river
Stuart, the Martin County seat, grew up around the forks of the St. Lucie River, and a huge share of its homes sit on the river, its creeks or the finger canals cut off them. On those lots the water is the reason people bought, so a solid fence across the back is rarely what they want. Black or bronze aluminum keeps children and dogs in while leaving the view open. Inland, in the subdivisions off Kanner Highway and in Palm City across the river, vinyl privacy fencing is the usual request.
Martin County's rules are not Port St. Lucie's
Crossing the county line changes the paperwork. Inside the city limits the City of Stuart issues the permit; in unincorporated areas, including much of Palm City, Martin County does. Martin County also limits residential fences to 6 feet and keeps fences back from navigable waterways, which matters on exactly the lots where people most want a fence. We confirm which authority covers your address, check the setbacks against your survey, and design around them before you see a price.
Built for salt air and storms
The St. Lucie Inlet is close, and salt rides inland on the wind. We use stainless or coated fasteners and hinges throughout, set every post in concrete, and keep wood and steel to the places they suit. For pools, the barrier is built to Florida's pool safety rules with self-closing, self-latching gates. Stuart lies in the same storm track that brought Frances and Jeanne ashore nearby in 2004, so open styles that let wind pass through are worth considering on exposed lots.

About these prices: these are estimates; waterfront setbacks in Martin County can change the layout, so the written quote follows a site visit.
