Premium Composite Fencing: Authorized Greenwood Fence® Installation in West Chicago, IL

Panorama Fence, Inc. is proud to be a Preferred Installer for Greenwood Fence® in Elgin and the surrounding Fox Valley area. If you are looking for a fence that combines the high-end look of natural wood with the industrial strength of aluminum, Greenwood is the ultimate solution.

Upgrade to Maintenance-Free Luxury

Stop spending your weekends staining and sealing. With a Greenwood Fence installed by Panorama, your only maintenance is an occasional rinse with a garden hose.

The Anatomy of a Better Fence

Unlike traditional fences that rely on wood posts—which eventually rot, lean, or warp—the Greenwood system is engineered for a lifetime.

  • Commercial-Grade Aluminum: The framework consists of heavy-duty aluminum posts and rails that are 100% rust-proof and wind-resistant.

  • High-Performance Composite: The boards are made from a proprietary blend of 90% recycled materials, featuring an Advanced Surface Shield that prevents fading, staining, and mold.

  • Precision Engineering: Every component is designed to lock together seamlessly, creating a sleek, gap-free privacy barrier that enhances your home’s architecture.

Why Choose Panorama Fence for Your Greenwood Project?

Because Greenwood is a specialized hybrid system, the quality of the installation is just as important as the material itself. As a Preferred Installer, we provide:

​

  • Manufacturer-Approved Techniques: We ensure proper spacing for thermal expansion, meaning your fence won't buckle during hot Illinois summers or crack in freezing winters.

 

  • Custom Design Consultations: From the modern Euro-style horizontal look to Classic Privacy with decorative lattice tops, we help you choose the color and configuration that fits your landscape.

 

  • Local Expertise: Based in Elgin, we handle all local permitting and zoning requirements to make your installation stress-free.

West Chicago Fence Codes & Compliance

West Chicago has clear standards for residential fencing. As a registered contractor, we handle all the technical requirements for you:

  • Height & Style Regulations:

    • Rear Yards: Maximum 6 feet in height.

    • Front Yards: Limited to 4 feet and must be a "decorative" style (like picket or split rail) that is at least 50% open. Chain-link is prohibited in front yards.

    • Corner Lots: To ensure traffic safety, fences on corner lots cannot exceed 3 feet in height within the "visibility triangle" near the intersection.

  • The "Finished Side" Rule: City code requires that the "good side" (the side without visible posts or framing) must face outward toward neighbors and the street.

  • Easements & Utility Clearances: We ensure your fence maintains a 3-foot clearance from utility pedestals and a 6-foot clearance from transformer access doors.

  • Frost-Proof Installation: We sink our posts to a minimum of 36 inches to ensure your fence stays straight and true through West Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles.

 

Hardscaping: Patios & Stone Design

Planning a new outdoor entertainment space? We specialize in patios that meet West Chicago’s engineering standards.

  • Base Standards: For concrete or paver patios, we follow the City requirement of a 4-inch compacted gravel base to prevent settling and drainage issues.

  • Drainage Awareness: We ensure your patio installation does not obstruct natural drainage or affect public easements.

  • Hassle-Free Permitting: We handle the $55 patio permit and coordinate the required base inspection before any concrete is poured or stone is laid.

 

Seasonal Cleanups: The "Groot" Schedule Experts

We time our maintenance to match West Chicago’s local waste collection through Groot Industries:

  • Fall Vacuum Collection: We coordinate our final leaf cleanups with West Chicago’s annual vacuum program. We ensure leaves are raked to the parkway (not the street!) for a seamless pickup.

  • Monthly Brush Collection: We manage the pruning and stacking of branches (up to 8 inches in diameter) for the City’s monthly brush collection (April–November). We ensure the "cut ends" face the street as required.

  • Free Leaf Disposal: We provide bagging services for the City’s free leaf collection windows (typically April and November), where no universal stickers are required.

 

Why West Chicago Trusts Panorama

  • Licensed & Registered: We are a bonded and registered contractor with the West Chicago Community Development Department.

  • Permit Management: We handle the paperwork, the plat of survey markings, and the final inspections with the City.

  • Local Expertise: From Cornerstone Lakes to the Indian Knoll area, we know the soil, the neighborhoods, and the local rules.​
