Whether you are installing yourself or hiring a fence contractor, it is recommended to get familiar with the Florham Park Township Fence Codes and Ordinances (provided below). Once you have an idea of the fence style/type and its proposed location, contact Borough Hall to verify that your project meets their guidelines. In order to save time, bring a copy of your property survey with the proposed fence marked in red. We have installed numerous wood, vinyl, aluminum, and Deer Control Fences in Florham Park, Morris County, where we have been providing professional fence service since the 1960’s. Perhaps you’ve taken notice, when a fence has a signature “Academy Fence” sign, you will see it is well planned, sturdy, and provides many years of beauty and longevity.
