Trotwood's west-side neighborhoods are full of homes with real yards — room for dogs, kids, gardens, all of it. A fence is what makes that yard actually yours. At Broadway Fence LLC, based in Dayton, we've been installing fences for Trotwood families since 2021 — wood privacy, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental aluminum — treating every yard like it's on our own street.
Fences Built for Trotwood Homes
Trotwood is mostly residential — established neighborhoods along corridors like Salem Avenue, with a lot of ranch and two-story homes on solid lots. Backyards here tend to sit close to the neighbors, which is exactly where a privacy fence earns its keep.
For most Trotwood backyards, a six-foot wood or vinyl privacy fence is the go-to: real screening, real security, real use out of the yard. Chain link is the smart money for dog runs, side yards, and bigger lots. Ornamental aluminum fits front yards and the homes where street-facing curb appeal matters.
What to Know Before Building a Fence in Trotwood
Trotwood has its own fence rules — height limits that differ between front, side, and rear yards, plus visibility requirements on corner lots. Reasonable, but specific.
We check the current requirements for your address and handle the permit side as part of the job. Any contractor who says permits don't matter is setting you up for a removal order down the road.
Our Most Popular Options in Trotwood
Wood privacy fences — cedar or pressure-treated, board-on-board or shadowbox. Natural look, genuine privacy, repairable board by board. Still the favorite.
Vinyl fences — the privacy look with zero maintenance. No staining, no rot, no splinters. Costs more upfront, pays for itself in weekends.
Ornamental aluminum — for front yards and pool areas. Clean lines, rust-free, pool-code friendly.
Chain link — the practical pick: dog runs, large lots, side yards. Black vinyl-coated available for a cleaner look.

Why Trotwood Neighbors Call Broadway Fence
We're a Dayton-area fence contractor — established 2021 — and most of our work comes from referrals: somebody watched us work in a neighbor's yard and called.
What that means in practice: we show up when we say we will, every post goes in concrete below the frost line (36 inches minimum — that's where cheap fences fail in Ohio), gates get hung to latch, and the yard gets left clean. Written quote upfront. No "sign today" pressure. No surprise charges.
We also serve Dayton, Clayton, Englewood, Drexel, and Fort McKinley.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a fence in Trotwood?
