Will a garden fence pass ARB review in Shelter Island?

In our experience, yes — the low-profile mesh tends to clear ARB review across NY/NJ HOAs that block conventional garden fencing. Submitting the application is the homeowner's responsibility; we provide the spec sheet and renderings to include with it.

What's the right height for a Shelter Island kitchen garden?

7-to-8 ft against deer pressure, with a tight rabbit-grade band at the bottom. Going shorter to satisfy a perceived HOA preference loses the garden.

Will the fence handle groundhogs?

Yes, when specced correctly. Groundhog pressure zones get a buried or surface-laid apron — standard inclusion, not an upcharge.

Can you install around mature plantings?

Yes. We hand-prep around root zones and existing irrigation. Losing a mature ornamental to save labor isn't on the table.

Garden Fence designed for Shelter Island

Shelter Island's Ram Island and Dering Harbor properties sit inside one of the highest deer-density zones on the East Coast. Full exclusion is essential.

Shelter Island-area gardens get hit from three directions at once. Westchester, Bergen, and Hudson Valley deer browse year-round and have no functional predators. Rabbits exploit any mesh wider than 1 inch at ground level. Groundhogs tunnel under fencing that isn't aproned. The conventional answers — chicken wire, plastic netting, decorative borders — fail against all three within a single season. By August most NY/NJ kitchen gardens that started the year hopeful are stems and stakes.

Our garden fence is a single integrated system that handles all three pressures: 7.5–8 ft of black mesh against deer, tight bottom mesh against rabbits, and a buried or laid-flat apron in groundhog zones. The visual profile is low enough that it passes ARB review across NY/NJ HOAs that block conventional garden fencing. Wide self-latching gates fit a wheelbarrow. Once installed, the garden actually performs the way you designed it to.

Permits & HOA: Most Northeast towns regulate fence height and require a simple zoning permit for anything over 6 ft. HOAs in upscale suburbs often require ARB review. Pulling permits and securing HOA approval is the homeowner's responsibility — we'll provide spec sheets and renderings on request to support your application, and our low-visual-impact systems are generally well received.
