Nassau County, NY
Custom Fence & Gate Installation in Old Westbury
Old Westbury's large, heavily wooded lots and long private driveways call for fencing that reads as formal from the street and holds up with minimal visible maintenance deep into the property. Ornamental iron entry gates with automated operators are the most requested single item in the village; perimeter work tends toward wood or vinyl along shared property lines.
Local Compliance
Built for Old Westbury's
rules, not just its look.
An incorporated village with its own Board of Trustees, building department, and large-lot zoning — most residential parcels are significantly larger than typical Nassau County lots.
General guidance only — exact height, setback, and permit requirements vary by address. We confirm the specifics for your property before finalizing a design.
Village building department
Old Westbury is an incorporated village with its own building department separate from the Town of North Hempstead. Fence permits, height limits, and front-yard setback rules are set at the village level.
Large-lot setbacks
Minimum lot sizes in Old Westbury run well above typical Nassau County zoning, which generally means more generous setback allowances for fencing and gates — but every village has its own front-yard height cap, so we confirm the exact limit for your parcel before design.
Automated gate access
Long private driveways are common, which is why automated swing and slide gate operators — with keypad, transponder, or intercom access — are one of the most requested additions to an ornamental iron entry here.

Old Westbury FAQ
Questions we hear
most in Old Westbury.
Can you automate an existing wrought iron driveway gate?+−
In most cases, yes. We can retrofit an automated operator, keypad, and intercom to an existing gate if the hardware and hinge points are sound, or build a new gate designed around automation from the start.
What's the front-yard fence height limit in Old Westbury?+−
The village sets its own height cap, which we confirm against your specific address before finalizing a design — it's not something we assume from county-wide rules.
How long does a full estate perimeter take to install?+−
Given the larger lot sizes typical of Old Westbury, a full perimeter run is usually a multi-day project. We give a firm day count with your estimate once we've walked the property line.
