Kendall is our home base and the neighborhood we work in most. Between the older 1960s and 70s ranch homes along SW 88th Street (Kendall Drive) and the larger lots closer to Snapper Creek, we see almost every fence condition South Florida can produce: original chain link that has outlived its top rail, wood fences leaning after a wet summer, and 1980s aluminum that needs to be brought up to current pool barrier code.
Because Kendall spans both unincorporated Miami-Dade and the edges of Pinecrest and South Miami, the permitting path is not the same on every street. Fence height allowances, front-yard rules and corner-lot visibility triangles differ, and getting that wrong is what forces a fence to be torn out. We verify jurisdiction by folio number before we quote.
A typical Kendall backyard runs 140 to 220 linear feet of fence. Material choice, privacy needs, gate locations, existing-fence removal and soil conditions all shape the final scope, and we document each item after measuring the property.
The biggest planning variables are demolition of an existing fence, rock encountered while digging near Snapper Creek, and gate count. We inspect all three during the free on-site visit so the written scope is complete.
Kendall sits on oolitic limestone with a thin sand and marl cap. In practical terms, some blocks dig easily and some hit rock at 14 inches. We carry rock augers and mark suspected hard-dig areas at the estimate rather than issuing a change order later.
The two failure patterns we see most on Kendall fences are sprinkler-driven rot at the base of wood pickets and undersized gate posts. Rotating a few sprinkler heads away from the fence line can add years to a wood fence. We point out the offending heads at handoff.
Fences in unincorporated Kendall require a Miami-Dade County building permit, a site plan showing setbacks and easements, and a final inspection. Pool barriers are inspected against the Florida Building Code residential pool barrier section. We prepare the drawings, file the permit, honor the Sunshine 811 utility markings and meet the inspector on site.
Typical Miami-Dade fence permit turnaround has been running one to three weeks. We schedule material delivery against permit approval so crews are not sitting on a driveway waiting for paperwork.

In unincorporated Kendall, fences are generally limited to 6 feet in rear and side yards and 4 feet in front yards, and corner lots must keep the visibility triangle at the intersection clear. If your address falls inside Pinecrest or South Miami limits, the rules differ, so we confirm jurisdiction by folio number before quoting.
