River Ridge lots are bigger than most in Jefferson Parish, so a fence here often means a long run along the back and sides of the property, plus a drive gate or two. CMC's Services installs and repairs wood, vinyl, chain-link and privacy fences built to stay straight across that distance.
215+ 5-Star Google Reviews · Licensed & insuredFencing a larger River Ridge lot comes down to layout, post work and gates. A long fence line has to follow the property line exactly, stay level across dips, and keep its top straight over a few hundred feet, which takes careful string lines and consistent post spacing. CMC's Services walks the line with you, marks corners and gates, and sets every post in concrete so it holds in the low, wet soil common in this part of the parish. Gates on wide lots often carry more weight, especially double drive gates, so we use heavier posts and hardware there to stop sagging. We install wood, vinyl, chain-link and privacy fences, build custom layouts, add gates that match, and repair leaning posts and damaged panels. Getting these details right is what keeps a long fence looking even and closing cleanly years after it goes in, instead of wavering and dragging at the gate.
We are a local, licensed and insured crew with more than 10 years of fence and outdoor construction work. Your visit and written quote are free, and we explain material choices plainly so you can decide without pressure.
On a bigger lot, a fence makes the space easier to use and easier to keep secure.
A fully fenced backyard on a River Ridge lot gives dogs and children a large, safe space to play. Chain link or a picket style keeps them in while letting you see the whole yard from the back porch, and we set the bottom close to the ground so smaller dogs cannot slip out.
Older ranch homes here often have open backyards that face several neighbors. A six-foot wood or vinyl privacy fence along the back and sides makes the patio and pool area your own and blocks the view from busier streets near Jefferson Hwy.
A fence marks where your lot ends, which helps avoid disputes over lawn care, trees and drainage. We place the fence based on your survey or property markers so it lands on the correct line.
On a long run, maintenance adds up fast. Vinyl needs only washing, and chain link needs almost nothing. Wood looks great but needs sealing every few years. We help you match the material to how much time you want to spend on it.
We give every property a personal approach and the same careful build.
We understand the layouts, setbacks and neighborhood expectations here, from older homes on deep lots to newer builds. That helps us plan fence placement and gate locations that make sense.
With over 10 years of fencing and outdoor work, we bring proven installation methods and practical answers to tricky spots like slopes, trees and drainage ditches.
We use reliable fencing materials and concrete-set posts, and we finish each fence with straight lines, level tops and gates that swing and latch smoothly.
You talk to the people doing the work. We show up on time, explain each step, and walk the finished fence with you. We have 215+ 5-star Google reviews.
Most fence installs take one to three days, with long runs or complex layouts taking longer.
We discuss your fencing goals, walk the full property line and look at slopes, trees, ditches and wet spots. This lets us recommend materials and placement that fit both the yard and how you use it.
Once the details are set, we plan the layout, post spacing, gate locations and materials. You get a written estimate so you understand the full scope and cost before work begins.
The crew pulls string lines, digs post holes, sets posts in concrete, and installs rails, panels and gates. We focus on straight lines, secure posts and gates hung on heavy-duty hinges.
After installation, we review the fence with you, test every gate and latch, and confirm it meets your expectations. We also explain basic care for the material you chose.
These are the fences and services River Ridge homeowners ask us about most.
Pressure-treated wood privacy and picket fences. Wood suits the look of many older River Ridge homes and can be stained or painted. Sealing it regularly helps it handle the humidity.
Vinyl privacy and picket fences that resist rot, insects and moisture. A strong choice for long runs where you want little upkeep.
Galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link for large backyards, pet areas and side yards. Affordable for long distances and easy to add gates to.
Walk gates and double drive gates built to match your fence, with heavier posts and hardware so they swing smoothly and close securely.
Custom spacing, heights and material combinations for properties with specific design or layout goals, such as a privacy section near the patio and open fence along the rest.
Fixing damaged panels, leaning posts and worn sections to restore safety and extend the life of your fence without a full replacement.
River Ridge sits between the river and Harahan, along Jefferson Hwy, and many of its homes are ranch houses on lots deeper and wider than you find closer to New Orleans. That means more linear feet of fence and more chances for the line to drift if posts are not set carefully. Many yards also back up to drainage ditches or low corners that stay wet after heavy rain, which is where posts tend to lean first.
We plan the fence around those wet spots and set every post in concrete. If part of the yard floods regularly, look at our drainage in River Ridge work. An uneven yard can also make a fence top look wavy, and yard leveling in River Ridge can smooth the grade first.

“CMC Services just completed an amazing project covering our entire front of our house including new concrete driveways. The project involved demolition of all existing cement and grass with a new design for two separate driveways instead of the former circular driveway plus the addition of turf and decorative cement squares across the entire front and two new gardens with new pavers. From the moment we received their estimate last fall to the beginning of the project in February, our project manager, Matt was exceptional to work with and maintained communication with us throughout the entire project…”
“Had an issue with a city ordinance that should not exist and CMC made it right by fixing it free of charge! The rest of their work is very clean and exactly how they said it would be! Drainage work was much better and cleaner than expected. Their crew cleans up after themselves and leave no messes behind!”

Most projects take one to three days, depending on fence type, the length of the run and site conditions. Larger or more complex fences can take longer. At the consultation we give you a timeline and keep you posted if weather or site conditions require changes.
Cost depends mostly on the material, the total length of the fence, its height, the number and size of gates, and the design. Long runs on larger lots add material and labor. Removing an old fence also adds to the job. We give you a clear written estimate after reviewing the property so there are no surprises.
Yes. We install walk gates and double drive gates that match your fence. Gates are built on heavier posts with sturdy hinges and latches so they swing smoothly and close securely. On wide lots we plan gate spots for mowers, trailers or vehicles that need to reach the backyard.
Yes. Leaning posts are usually caused by rot at ground level or posts set without concrete in wet soil. We remove the failed posts, set new ones in concrete and reattach the panels. If many posts have failed at once, replacing the fence may be the better long-term choice.
It depends on the material. Wood should be cleaned and sealed or stained every few years. Vinyl only needs washing to remove mildew. Chain link needs very little care. For any fence, check posts and gates after big storms and clear vines and soil away from the base.
