Your Local Westchase Fence Contractor
Westchase (33626) is one of the most established, well-planned HOA communities in western Hillsborough County, built around larger, tree-lined lots and community-wide design standards that keep the neighborhood looking consistent from street to street. That consistency is exactly what shapes most of our work here — an approved fence in Westchase generally looks like the approved fence three doors down, and we design with that expectation rather than proposing something that stands out.
We've installed enough fencing across Westchase's various sections to know the community's general aesthetic preferences, though we still confirm current HOA guidelines for your specific property before finalizing any design, since standards can be updated or vary slightly by section.
Fence Services We Offer in Westchase
- Aluminum & ornamental fences — the community's most common approved style
- Vinyl & PVC fences — low-maintenance backyard privacy
- Gate installation & automation — for larger driveways
- Fence repair & replacement — storm damage & wear
Designing Within Westchase's Community Standards
Westchase's HOA guidelines generally favor aluminum ornamental fencing for its open, uniform look across the community, and that preference lines up well with how many Westchase properties are also built around pools, since aluminum satisfies Florida's pool barrier code at the same time it satisfies the HOA. Vinyl privacy fencing remains an option for backyard-only applications on some lots, typically where full sightline privacy matters more than street-facing uniformity. Because Westchase lots tend to run larger than in older, denser parts of the county, we're often fencing more linear footage per project here, and mature landscaping on established lots sometimes means routing a fence line around trees rather than in a perfectly straight run. Some properties backing onto the community's retention ponds or drainage areas also carry easements limiting exactly how close a fence can go to the water, which we check before finalizing any layout.
Local Roads, Neighborhoods & Landmarks
Westchase sits roughly 17 miles northwest of downtown Tampa, about halfway to Palm Harbor, and borders Pinellas County directly to its west. The community is organized into 28 named villages — among them Abbotsford, Arlington Park, Bennington, Berkeley Square, The Bridges, Castleford, Glencliff, and Keswick Forest — governed through a network of Community Development Districts rather than a single HOA. The Westchase Golf Course, designed by Lloyd Clifton, and West Park Village, a walkable mixed-use hub explicitly inspired by historic Hyde Park in South Tampa, both anchor community life, while Tampa Bay Downs horse racetrack sits along the western edge. Westchase broke ground on April 15, 1991, and by the 2020 Census was home to nearly 26,000 residents — a fully planned community from day one, which is part of why its fencing standards run more consistent than almost anywhere else we serve.
Gate Automation for Westchase's Larger Properties
Gate automation comes up more often in Westchase than in most of our other service areas, largely because the community's larger lots and longer driveways make a walk-out-to-open-it manual gate genuinely inconvenient in a way it isn't on a smaller Town ’N Country or Temple Terrace lot. We build automated gates to match the aluminum or vinyl fencing already common here, and most Westchase HOAs are used to reviewing automated gate submissions, so it's rarely the sticking point in an ARC application the way an unusual fence material might be. Keypad and remote control are the most requested options, with some homeowners adding smartphone app control for guests or service visits when they're not home. We also make sure any automated gate we install includes a working manual release, since losing power during a storm shouldn't mean being unable to get a vehicle in or out of your own driveway.

Properties closer to Linebaugh Ave and the community's main entrances tend to face slightly more visibility-driven design scrutiny than interior cul-de-sac lots, simply because more of the neighborhood sees those fences daily, which is worth knowing before you fall in love with a style that's technically allowed but unlikely to sail through review without discussion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Westchase maintains community-wide design standards intended to keep a consistent look across the neighborhood, which typically narrows the approved fence styles and materials more than you’d find in a non-HOA area. We design to those standards and can help with what’s typically needed for submission.
Aluminum ornamental fencing is the most common style we install in Westchase, largely because it satisfies both the community’s aesthetic guidelines and Florida pool barrier code on the many properties here with pools.
Some lots backing up to retention ponds or community drainage areas carry easements that restrict how close a fence can be built to the water’s edge. We check for any recorded easement on your specific property before finalizing a layout.
Larger lots generally mean more linear footage of fencing per project, and established landscaping sometimes requires us to route around mature trees and root systems rather than a straight, uninterrupted line.
Often the HOA’s guidelines effectively require this by limiting approved styles to a narrow list, which naturally creates a fairly uniform look throughout the community. We can usually match or closely coordinate with what’s already common on your street.
A significant share of Westchase properties have pools, and Florida pool barrier code sets specific height, gate, and picket-spacing requirements that we build to on every applicable installation.
It varies, but plan on several weeks depending on the community association’s review schedule. We recommend beginning that process as soon as you have a written estimate.
Given larger lot sizes and the prevalence of aluminum fencing, total project costs in Westchase often run higher than smaller-lot neighborhoods, though per-foot pricing is consistent across our service area. Every estimate is measured and written.
Yes, we carry general liability insurance and provide documentation before our crew arrives at your property.
Yes, gate automation is a common addition on larger Westchase properties, and we build it to match your existing or planned fence style.
