Maintenance-Free Outdoor Solutions installs vinyl, aluminum, steel and composite fence on House Springs, Missouri acreage. Eight feet is allowed on your rear and side lines here, which is taller than almost anywhere else in the region.
House Springs gets a height allowance most of the metro would envy. On rear and side property lines, Jefferson County permits fences up to eight feet, with no requirement that they be partly open.
What decides the rest of your project is your zoning district. In the standard residential districts a front yard fence stops at four feet. On rural and large lot properties it can reach eight, provided everything above four feet is two-thirds open, which is what a picket or split rail gives you.
We have installed across Jefferson County since 1994. Family owned, A+ rated with the BBB, and building only in vinyl, aluminum, steel and composite.
Why Customers Choose Maintenance-Free Outdoor Solutions
The generous rules come with awkward ground. The soil survey maps rock outcrop at the surface across a large share of House Springs, shallow soil sitting on bedrock, and low wet bottoms near the water. Setting an eight foot fence properly in that mix takes more than a longer post.
- Eight Feet Where You Want It. Rear and side lines here allow up to eight feet with no openness requirement. If screening is the point, House Springs lets you do it properly rather than settling for six.
- 25 Years To Lifetime Warranties. All our vinyl fencing products carry at least 25-year manufacturing warranties, most of them lifetime.
- Installed By Our Own Crews. Your fence is built by our own people rather than handed to a subcontractor. The crew that quotes it is the crew that stands behind it.
- Taller Fences Need Better Footings. Eight feet catches far more wind than six, and much of House Springs is thin soil over rock. Post depth, spacing and anchoring get designed for the height and the ground rather than copied from a standard.
- We Check Your Zoning District First. Whether your front yard allows four feet or eight depends on which district you are in. We establish that before quoting, because it changes the design and the price.
- Financing Available. Financing through Synchrony for qualified buyers.
Which Fence Type Fits Your House Springs Property?
With eight feet available at the sides and back, the question in House Springs is less what you are allowed and more what will still stand straight in twenty years on this ground.
What Fence Styles Are Popular for House Springs Homes and Businesses?
House Springs is one of the few places where a genuinely tall privacy fence is straightforwardly legal, and that changes what people build.
Eight feet of vinyl or composite on a rear line does a job six feet cannot, particularly on the sloping lots common here where a neighbor sits above you. It is also where material quality shows, because a taller panel carries more wind load through every post.
On rural and large lot properties the front yard opens up as well, but only in an open style. Two-thirds open above four feet means picket or split rail rather than solid panel, and vinyl handles both without the annual attention timber would want.
Aluminum covers pool enclosures and anywhere sight lines matter, and ornamental steel suits commercial frontage where strength is the priority.

What Should You Know About House Springs Fence Rules?
House Springs is unincorporated, so the rules come from the Jefferson County zoning order and they change depending on which district your property sits in.
House Springs is not an incorporated city, so fence rules come from the Jefferson County zoning order rather than a local city hall. The section that matters is the one covering fences and masonry walls as an accessory use.
Rear and side property lines are the generous part. A fence up to eight feet is permitted on the rear line where it abuts another lot or a designated thoroughfare, and up to eight feet on side lines as well. There is no requirement that any of it be open, so a full privacy panel at eight feet is allowed.
Front yards depend entirely on your zoning district. In the R-40, R-20, R-10 and R-7 districts, a fence inside the front yard setback stops at four feet. In the RA-5 Rural and Agricultural and LR-2 Large Lot Residential districts it can go to eight, but only if everything above four feet is built at a ratio of two-thirds open to one-third closed. A picket or split rail meets that. A solid panel does not. Our guide to fence height regulations compares that against the rest of the region.
Corner lots carry their own limit. Nothing over four feet may sit in front of the front setback line on a corner, whichever district you are in.
One restriction catches people who assume the property line is the boundary of what is possible. No fence is permitted in a required landscape area except where the County has approved it, and on newer developments that area can be wider than expected.
Because the answer changes district by district and line by line, we confirm yours on site before drawing a layout.

What Does a Fence Cost in House Springs?
Height drives a House Springs quote more than it does elsewhere, because eight feet is genuinely on the table here.
An eight foot run uses more material than six and needs deeper, better anchored posts to carry the extra wind load, so it costs more per foot and it should. Ground is the other half of the number. Rock near the surface is common across House Springs, and that slows post setting unpredictably, which is exactly what our hard hole policy is there to absorb.
For current per-foot ranges by style and height, see our 2026 vinyl fence pricing guide, or the guides for pool fencing and aluminum. Then we measure the property and put a fixed figure in writing, free.
Fence Planning FAQs
Call us on 636-464-1144. Most House Springs calls start with how tall people are allowed to go, and the answer depends on which line you are building on.
How tall can a fence be in House Springs?
Up to eight feet on rear and side property lines, with no requirement that any of it be open. That is taller than most of the metro allows. Front yards are different: four feet inside the front setback in the R-40, R-20, R-10 and R-7 districts, or up to eight feet in the rural and large lot districts provided everything above four feet is two-thirds open.
Can I put a tall fence across my front yard?
Only in the rural and large lot districts, and only in an open style. Above four feet the fencing has to run two-thirds open to one-third closed, which means a picket or split rail rather than a privacy panel. In the standard residential districts the front yard limit is four feet regardless of material. On any corner lot, nothing over four feet may sit forward of the front setback line.
What makes digging difficult in House Springs?
Rock, mostly. The survey maps rock outcrop at the surface across much of House Springs along with shallow soil sitting directly on bedrock, and low wet ground closer to the water. That combination is why post depth here is a design decision rather than a default, particularly on an eight foot fence, and why our quotes carry a hard hole policy instead of a surprise.
