Who builds fences in Mandeville, LA?
Northbound Fences does. Mandeville is a short drive from the company’s Covington base, and the crew handles backyard privacy fences, pool enclosures, front-yard picket, gates and storm repairs there. Most residential fences are finished in one to three days after the estimate is approved.
Mandeville sits on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, where the Causeway Bridge comes ashore from Metairie. That position shapes almost every fence job in town. Near the water, Old Mandeville has older cottages, raised homes and live oaks along the streets behind Lakeshore Drive and its seawall. Moving north along LA-22 and LA-59 toward I-12, the lots turn into planned subdivisions with pools, HOAs and six-foot backyard fences as the norm.
Pool fences come up more in Mandeville than almost anywhere else Northbound works. A pool enclosure has to do two jobs: keep small children out and satisfy the neighborhood’s look. Aluminum picket is the common answer when the HOA wants an open view of the yard, and vinyl privacy is the answer when the owner wants the pool screened from the street.
The lake also brings weather. Storm surge from Lake Pontchartrain has flooded lakefront streets in Old Mandeville more than once, and hurricanes and summer storms knock over fences all over town. When a storm hits, Northbound Fences clears the fence line, rebuilds damaged sections to match what was there, and gives you documentation for the insurance adjuster.
Mandeville fences
What fences do Mandeville homeowners ask for most?
Vinyl privacy
Popular in Mandeville subdivisions where covenants call for a clean, uniform fence. Vinyl will not rot or need paint in the damp lake air. See fence installation.
Board-on-board wood
Overlapped pressure-treated pickets that close the gaps as boards shrink, a solid choice for backyards between neighbors on smaller lots.
Front picket in Old Mandeville
A short wood or vinyl picket fence with a walk gate suits the cottages and raised homes near the lakefront.
Lake, rules & covenants
What makes a Mandeville fence project different?
Northbound Fences checks four Mandeville-specific points at every free estimate, before a single post hole is dug.
- Low lakefront lots. Ground near the lake and in the low spots south of US-190 stays wet after heavy rain. Post setting and material choice matter more here than on high ground.
- HOA approval. Many Mandeville neighborhoods require architectural approval for fence height, style and color. Bring the covenant to the estimate and the quote will match it.
- City limits. The City of Mandeville and unincorporated St. Tammany Parish handle permits separately, even when the mailing address says Mandeville.
- Elevated homes. Raised houses near the lake often need fences that tie into piers, stairs and under-house storage, which takes careful layout.

Mandeville FAQ
What do Mandeville homeowners ask before fencing?
Looking for a pool fence near me in Mandeville? These are the questions that come up most on estimates around town.
Does Northbound Fences build pool fences in Mandeville?
Yes. Northbound Fences builds pool enclosures in Mandeville in aluminum, vinyl and wood, with self-closing, self-latching pool gates. Pool barrier rules and HOA covenants both apply, so the crew confirms height and gate hardware requirements for your address before the fence goes in. See gate installation.
Is my Mandeville home under city or parish fence rules?
It depends on the address. Old Mandeville and the neighborhoods inside the City of Mandeville follow city rules, while many subdivisions with a Mandeville mailing address sit in unincorporated St. Tammany Parish. Northbound Fences checks which applies and pulls permits when they are required. Read the St. Tammany fence permit guide.
What fence holds up best near the lake in Mandeville?
For lakefront and low-lying Mandeville lots, vinyl and aluminum are the low-maintenance picks because they do not rot and aluminum resists corrosion. Pressure-treated wood still works well and costs less upfront. Compare them in wood vs. vinyl in Louisiana.
