Navigating Lisle Fence Codes

Lisle (925 Burlington Ave) has specific ordinances designed to protect the village's natural beauty and ensure proper drainage. We handle all technical compliance for you:

• The 2-Inch Drainage Gap: Per Village code, fences must be elevated at least 2 inches above grade. This is a critical requirement in Lisle to allow for the natural flow of stormwater across your property.

• Height & Style Regulations:

  • Rear & Side Yards: Maximum height of 6 feet (open or solid design).

  • Front & Side Street Yards: Strictly limited to 4 feet and must be an open design (e.g., picket or wrought iron).

• "Finished Side Out" Policy: Lisle strictly requires the decorative, finished side of the fence to face outwardtoward adjacent lots or the street.

• Post Hole Inspection: Lisle requires a mandatory inspection of the post holes before any posts are set or concrete is poured to verify depth and property line delineation.

• Proximity to Hydrants: Fences must maintain at least a 3-foot clearance from all fire hydrants.

• Sight Triangles: On corner lots, we ensure your fence complies with "vision clearance" requirements to keep intersections safe for drivers and pedestrians.
