Professional Vinyl Fence
A vinyl fence gives families lasting privacy and low upkeep, holding its color through Indiana winters without repainting.
Increase Curb Appeal, Privacy, and Security
A fence does a lot for a Bloomington home: privacy on a close-set lot near campus, a safe space for kids and dogs, a clean line on a sloped backyard, and a finished edge on a historic-district street. Our professional Bloomington fence company gives you options that match the property you actually have, whether that’s a bungalow in Prospect Hill, a rental near IU, a mid-century ranch on the east side, or a wooded hillside lot toward Griffy Lake.
We respect your time, and we’ll handle the project every step of the way, from measuring and planning to building to the City of Bloomington’s Unified Development Ordinance, to the final walkthrough.
Our fence contractors are experts in residential fences as well as farm and commercial fencing. Whether you’re looking for a wood privacy fence, a vinyl picket fence, or a custom rail fence, or you have no idea what kind of fence you need, we’re ready to get to work for you!

Helpful Links:
Bloomington is the county seat of Monroe County, Indiana, and home to Indiana University, the flagship campus founded in 1820. Platted in 1818, the city had a population of 79,168 at the 2020 census and sits on rolling, limestone karst terrain with ravines and underground streams, with Griffy Lake inside the city limits and Lake Monroe to the southeast. Its historic districts, including Prospect Hill, Vinegar Hill, Steele Dunning, and University Courts, surround a downtown and campus ringed by student rentals, mid-century neighborhoods, and wooded hillside lots.
Professional Bloomington Fence Company
Our fencing professionals understand property lines, drainage, terrain, and the other factors that decide where a fence can go. That matters in Bloomington more than almost anywhere in Indiana: the city sits on irregular limestone karst terrain with ravines, sinks, and shallow bedrock, and a post hole that goes in easily on one lot can hit rock far sooner than expected on the next. We set posts properly for the ground we find, lay the fence out to stay clear of easements, and keep it off your neighbor’s property.
Our reliable, respectful crew uses high-quality finishing materials and our tried-and-true process to install your new fence correctly and on time. When it comes to fence installation in Bloomington, you won’t find a more experienced, professional team.
Choosing the Right Fence for Your Needs
We’ll discuss your property, preferences, location, environment, and budget. Our Bloomington fence installation professionals can then help you settle on the best material, rail type, design, and height, including how to stay within the City’s eight-foot limit behind the front building wall and four-foot limit forward of it, which on a corner lot also applies along the secondary street. We even have in-house custom fence designers able to deliver a fencing solution that meets your needs and your neighborhood or community guidelines.
Bloomington Fence Installation
BlueBird Fence Company offers Bloomington fence installation for residential, rental, and commercial properties. Because we build every fence on-site rather than dropping in prefab panels, our Bloomington fence installation team can follow the grade on the hillside lots that make up much of the city, where a backyard may drop several feet from the house to the rear line, and on the compact historic-district lots where fence lines have been in place for a century. We arrive on your scheduled installation day with every material needed, install with care, and walk the finished fence with you before we leave, so nothing is left to guesswork.
Bloomington Fence Contractor
BlueBird Fence is backed by years of satisfied customers across central Indiana, and we bring the same detail-oriented approach to every Bloomington job, a direct run down I-69 from the Indianapolis metro: a detailed quote, typically the same day you reach out, a confirmed installation date, and proactive updates along the way, so you always know what’s happening and when. For landlords with properties near IU, we can schedule installations between leases and coordinate with your property manager. We offer a wide range of products and services, including fence installation, ranch fence installation, and commercial fence installation.
Bloomington Fence Options
BlueBird Fence Company offers a large variety of fencing options to fit your exact needs. Our Bloomington fence material options include cedar, pressure-treated pine, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, and iron, with many configurations, optional add-ons, and opportunities to customize. Near campus, a durable chain link or black aluminum fence keeps a rental yard secure with little upkeep; in Prospect Hill or Vinegar Hill, a cedar picket or low ornamental fence suits the older homes; on the wooded acreage outside town, a split-rail fence marks the line without blocking the view. A Bloomington privacy fence turns a close-set backyard into a quiet retreat. Ask your representative which style is best for your property.
Bloomington Fence Builder
Our team of experts at BlueBird Fence of Indiana builds fences that are crafted to not only fit the style of your property but also match the shape of your landscape. Unlike other fence builders, our Bloomington fence company does NOT use pre-fabricated fence panels. We build custom (stick-built) fences that follow the lay of the land and give a much smoother transition from fence to ground, a real advantage on Bloomington’s slopes. The City sets fence height and placement rules in its Unified Development Ordinance, including that fences present their non-structural face outward toward adjacent parcels, and we build to those rules so your fence is done right the first time.

Bloomington Fence Company
If you’re looking for a high-quality fence for your property, BlueBird Fence Company is the right Bloomington fence company for you. We offer a wide variety of fence materials to choose from, including cedar, pressure-treated pine, vinyl, aluminum, metal, iron, and chain link, along with decorative add-ons and customization options. Our team is committed to high-quality products installed with attention to detail and kind, communicative service from the first call to the final walkthrough. We’re proud to serve Bloomington families and property owners as a trusted partner, from the historic districts downtown to the hillside neighborhoods on the city’s edges.
Bloomington Metal Fence
Ornamental metal fences are increasing in popularity for both commercial and residential customers. Attractive, extremely durable, and secure, they come in a variety of metal types and finishes, and iron fencing is generally low-maintenance, complements architecture, and outlasts wood and vinyl. In Bloomington’s historic districts, a low ornamental fence along the sidewalk suits the period homes and stays within the City’s four-foot limit forward of the front building wall, and black aluminum is the standard choice for pool enclosures and rental properties. You can even personalize your Bloomington metal fence by adding custom rails, spears, rings, scrolls, or finials.
Ask your BlueBird Fence Company representative about our Bloomington metal fence options and configurations.
Bloomington Wood Fence
BlueBird Fence supplies professional-grade wood fences that are built to last through Bloomington’s freeze-thaw winters and humid summers. Our wood fences are typically made from cedar, which features a beautiful natural coloration that also naturally protects your Bloomington fence against bugs and decay. Cedar is easy to paint or stain, or it can be left to age naturally and develop a beautiful patina. Your Bloomington wood fence is custom-built at your home to match the curves of the landscape, which is the only way to get a clean result on the hillside and ravine lots found across the city.
Bloomington Vinyl Fence
Vinyl is a strong choice for Bloomington homeowners who want lasting privacy without annual staining, especially on close-set lots where the neighbor’s deck looks straight into your yard. It holds its color through Indiana winters, shrugs off spring rain, and cleans up with a garden hose. We install vinyl privacy, semi-privacy, and picket styles, and because every run is built on-site, your vinyl fence follows your yard’s contours instead of stepping awkwardly down a slope. Ask about the profiles and colors available for your Bloomington vinyl fence.
Bloomington Fence Questions, Answered
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Bloomington, Indiana?
Bloomington regulates fences through its Unified Development Ordinance, which sets height, placement, and orientation standards rather than a separate residential fence permit. Rules differ for pool enclosures and for fences over the standard height, and determinations about a lot’s secondary front building wall are made by the Planning and Transportation Department. We confirm what applies to your lot before we quote.
How tall can my fence be in Bloomington?
On an interior lot, a fence may be up to a combined eight feet behind the front building wall and up to four feet forward of it. On a corner lot, the four-foot limit also applies along the secondary street forward of the build-to or setback line, with eight feet allowed behind it, and any portion over five feet between that line and the secondary front wall must be of open construction such as lattice. A parcel with no house on it is limited to four feet. Fences must also meet the City’s vision-clearance standards at intersections.
Can you install fences on Bloomington’s hilly, rocky lots?
Yes. Bloomington sits on limestone karst terrain, and shallow bedrock is common, especially on the south side of the city. Because we stick-build every fence on-site, the panels follow the slope instead of stepping down it, and our crews set posts for the ground they actually find, so the fence stays plumb and tight for years.
Do you fence rental properties near Indiana University?
Yes. Rental houses near campus are a large part of Bloomington’s housing, and owners usually want a secure, low-maintenance yard. Chain link and black aluminum are the usual picks, and we can schedule the installation between leases and coordinate with your property manager. The same UDO height and orientation rules apply to rentals as to owner-occupied homes.
How much does a fence cost in Bloomington, and can I finance it?
Cost depends on material, height, linear footage, gates, and site conditions, including whether posts have to be set in rock, so we quote every project individually and send a detailed estimate, typically the same day you reach out. Many Bloomington homeowners spread the cost with our financing options through Wisetack, including 0% APR plans for qualified buyers.
BlueBird Fence also serves homeowners in nearby Columbus, Mooresville, Franklin, and Indianapolis.
