Huntley Fence Rules & Compliance

The Village of Huntley (10987 Main Street) is diligent about safety and neighborhood aesthetics. We ensure your project is 100% compliant:

• Height & Placement:

  • Rear & Side Yards: Maximum height of 6 feet.

  • Front Yards: Strictly limited to 3 feet and must be an "open" design (like split-rail or picket).

• Structural Integrity (The 1/3 Rule): To prevent leaning in the open prairie winds, Huntley requires fence posts to be buried at a depth equal to 1/3 the total length of the post (typically 36 to 42 inches deep).

• The "Finished Side" Rule: Per Village code, the finished side of the fence must face outward toward neighbors or the street. All posts and rails must stay on the interior.

• Easement Access: We verify all utility and drainage easements on your Plat of Survey. If your fence crosses an easement, we ensure it is built to allow for proper water flow and utility access.

• Sun City & HOA Specialists: We are experts at navigating the specific material and height restrictions of Del Webb’s Sun City and other local HOAs to ensure your design is approved quickly.

 

Hardscaping: Huntley Patios & Outdoor Living

With Huntley’s sprawling lots, a custom patio is the best way to maximize your outdoor space.

• Permit Management: We handle the $50+ Village permit and coordinate the mandatory Final Inspection.

• Lot Coverage Limits: We calculate your total "impervious surface" (pavement/concrete) to ensure your patio stays within the Village’s coverage limits, preventing drainage fines.

• Base Engineering: We use a professionally compacted stone base for all paver projects to handle the heavy clay soil common in Huntley and prevent shifting over time.

• Stormwater Integrity: We design your patio to follow natural grading, ensuring runoff doesn't pool near your foundation or affect your neighbor's property.

 

Seasonal Cleanups: The Huntley "MDC" Schedule

We time our maintenance services to match Huntley’s waste collection provided by MDC Environmental Services:

• April to November Yard Waste: We manage the bagging of leaves and debris for your weekly collection season.

• Free Leaf Collection: We coordinate major cleanups with the Village’s Curbside Leaf Vacuuming program in the fall. We ensure your leaves are raked to the parkway (not the street) by 7:00 AM on your scheduled Monday.

• Spring & Fall Brush Pick-Up: We handle the pruning and staging for the Village’s semi-annual brush collection. We ensure branches are cut to 10-foot lengths or less and stacked with the cut ends toward the street.
