In This Community, the Design Guidelines Pick Half Your Fence for You
Every fence in Nocatee goes through design review before a single post gets set. Twenty Mile, Crosswater, and the rest of the community follow written guidelines that spell out approved materials, colors, and heights, and the review board holds homeowners to them. That is not a formality. A fence that skips the process can trigger a violation letter and a tear-out order, which is an expensive way to learn the rules.
Lots here run tighter than most of Northeast Florida, and neighbors are close. New pools going in behind new homes need code-compliant safety fencing, yards backing up to ponds and preserve edges carry their own material and height restrictions, and a privacy fence that passes on one street may get rejected two streets over. We plan around all of it before we quote, so the fence you approve is the fence that gets built.
Passing Pool Barrier Code and Design Review With One Fence
A pool fence answers to two rulebooks, and they are not the same. Florida’s residential pool barrier code sets the safety floor: 4 feet of height off the outside grade, no opening in the run that passes a 4-inch sphere, gates that swing away from the water, and self-closing, self-latching hardware with the release 54 inches up. Your community’s approved style sheet decides the rest, from picket profile and color to the height cap on pond and preserve lots. We spec both at the estimate, then put spacing, hardware, and gate swing on the drawing that goes to the design review board, so what comes back approved is already code-legal. Most installs wrap in 1-2 days, vinyl and aluminum carry a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty, and every job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Choosing a Fence the Review Board Will Sign Off On
Aluminum is the most consistently approved fence type in Nocatee, especially on lots that back up to water. Many sections of the community require open-picket fencing along pond and preserve edges, and black aluminum fencing checks every box: it meets those visibility rules, it shrugs off Florida humidity without rusting out, and it doubles as code-compliant pool fencing.
Vinyl privacy fencing is the go-to where guidelines allow a solid fence. On tight interior lots with close neighbors, a vinyl privacy fence in an approved neutral color gives you a backyard that actually feels like yours, with no painting or staining, ever. We install US-made vinyl backed by a limited lifetime manufacturer warranty.
Wood still has a place on the Ponte Vedra side, mostly in neighborhoods that approve specific board styles and stains. A wood fence built with quality pickets and our post spec will outlast the thin builder-grade version, but check your guidelines first, because some sections restrict wood entirely. We will tell you straight if your street is one of them.
For homeowners who want the fence to match the house, we also install premium fence styles: upgraded profiles, decorative gates, and finishes that clear design review without looking like every other fence on the block.
Fencing for Young Families, First Pools, and the 55-Plus Crowd
Residential
Most of our Nocatee work is residential: pool safety fencing for brand-new pools, vinyl privacy on compact lots, and aluminum along pond and preserve lines. In Del Webb Nocatee we install a lot of low-maintenance aluminum for homeowners who are done with upkeep for good, while young families in the newer phases call us the week the pool contractor breaks ground. We are veteran-owned, licensed, and insured, and we build fences throughout St. Johns County, not just inside the community.
Commercial
We also handle commercial fencing for builders, HOAs, and local businesses. That includes perimeter fencing for amenity areas, enclosures for community facilities, and commercial-grade aluminum near the growing retail corridor around Nocatee Town Center. Same crews, same double-pour post spec, scaled up for commercial timelines.
Submission First, Post Holes Second
The estimate and the paperwork. We walk your property line with you, check the survey, measure the barrier line around the pool, and flag anything the guidelines will care about, then quote the job on the spot with zero pressure to sign. Then we handle the design review submission ourselves: application, site drawing, material specs, the whole packet. If you are fencing common areas or a rental rather than your own backyard, our HOA and property management fencing page covers how those approvals run. Once your approval comes back, installation typically follows 2-3 weeks later.
Install day. The barrier line goes in first, then panel height, picket spacing, and gate openings get worked to the clearances the pool code and your approved drawing both call for, and most installs in the community are finished in 1-2 days. Every pool gate hangs on a steel I-beam post and gets adjusted until it closes and latches on its own, not just when you push it.
The walkthrough. Before we leave, we test every gate, latch, and hinge, haul off all debris including your old fence, and walk the finished line with you. We build in northeastern St. Johns County every week, so if you are also pricing a house west of US-1 instead of inside the community, our St. Johns page covers those neighborhoods. If you would rather not pay in one lump sum, Wisetack financing runs an average APR of 7-10%, and military and first responder discounts apply on top of fair pricing, not instead of it.
What Nocatee Homeowners Want to Know Before They Submit
Every fence in Nocatee has to be approved by your neighborhood's design review board before installation, and Jax AA Fencing handles that submission for you. We prepare the application, site drawing, and material specs, send in the packet, and track it until the approval comes back, so you never chase paperwork. Because we know what each board looks for, our submissions are built to pass the first time instead of bouncing back for revisions. Call (904) 330-4829 and we will start the process at your free estimate.
Open-picket aluminum and vinyl privacy fencing are the types most consistently approved across Nocatee. Black aluminum clears review in nearly every neighborhood, and it is often the only option on lots along ponds and preserve edges where solid fencing is restricted. Vinyl in approved neutral colors passes in sections that allow privacy fences, while wood approvals vary street by street. We already know what the review boards in this community tend to approve, which saves you a rejection cycle. Ask us what your specific street allows before you fall in love with a style.
Installed fence jobs in Nocatee typically land around $41-51 per linear foot, depending on material, height, and the number of gates. Aluminum and vinyl sit at different points in that range, and tight-access lots common in the newer phases can affect labor. Jax AA Fencing takes $250 off any job over $2,000, and every quote starts with a free on-site estimate, so the number reflects your actual yard rather than a guess over the phone.
Yes, Florida law requires a code-compliant safety barrier around new residential pools, and a permanent fence is how most Nocatee homeowners meet it. We install aluminum pool fencing with self-closing, self-latching gates that satisfies state code and the community's design guidelines in one pass, so you are not paying for a temporary barrier and a permanent fence separately. If your pool contractor just broke ground, call us now, because the design review approval can run in parallel with the pool build.
Yes, vinyl privacy fencing works well on Nocatee's smaller lots, as long as your neighborhood's guidelines allow solid fencing. Close neighbors are the norm in the newer sections, and a properly placed privacy fence turns a compact backyard into space you actually use. We verify your property line against the survey before setting any posts, and many homeowners split the cost of shared sides with the neighbor, which we are happy to help coordinate.
Installation is typically scheduled 2-3 weeks after your design review approval comes back, and most Nocatee fences are finished in 1-2 days once we start. Because Jax AA Fencing submits the approval packet for you, the clock starts sooner than it would if you handled the paperwork yourself. We aim to respond within about 30 minutes during business hours, so the fastest way to lock in a slot is a quick call to (904) 330-4829.
Yes, we offer Wisetack financing with plans averaging 7-10% APR, plus discounts for military members and first responders. With the number of veterans and retirees living in Del Webb Nocatee, those discounts get used often, and as a veteran-owned company we are glad to honor them. Ask about both when you book your free on-site estimate, weekdays 8am to 4pm ET at (904) 330-4829.
