Nassau County, NY
Custom Fence & Gate Installation in Sands Point
Sands Point's peninsula estates sit on some of the largest, most tightly zoned lots on the Gold Coast, many with direct Long Island Sound frontage and bluff exposure. Fencing here tends toward formal ornamental iron at the entry, with careful attention to waterfront erosion setback and the village's own height and placement rules.
Local Compliance
Built for Sands Point's
rules, not just its look.
An incorporated village on the Port Washington peninsula with large minimum lot sizes and its own zoning board — among the most restrictive on the North Shore.
General guidance only — exact height, setback, and permit requirements vary by address. We confirm the specifics for your property before finalizing a design.
Village zoning board
Sands Point is an incorporated village with its own zoning board and large minimum lot sizes. Fence height and placement rules are set at the village level, separate from Nassau County or Town of North Hempstead defaults.
Bluff and shoreline erosion setback
Sound-front and bluff-top parcels can carry erosion-hazard setback requirements that affect how close a fence can sit to the bluff edge. We check this before finalizing layout on any waterfront lot.
Pool barrier code
New York State requires a minimum 48" pool enclosure with a self-closing, self-latching gate; we confirm whether Sands Point applies a stricter local minimum to your property.

Sands Point FAQ
Questions we hear
most in Sands Point.
Are there special rules for fencing near a Long Island Sound bluff?+−
Bluff-top and shoreline lots can be subject to erosion-hazard setback rules that limit how close a fence can be placed to the edge. We verify this with the village before designing a waterfront layout.
What's the minimum lot size in Sands Point, and does it affect fence setbacks?+−
Sands Point requires larger minimum lots than most of Nassau County, which generally allows more flexibility in fence placement relative to the house — but front-yard height limits are still set independently by the village.
Do you handle both the fence and the automated gate for estate entries here?+−
Yes — ornamental iron entry gates with automated operators, keypads, and intercoms are one of our most common full-scope projects in Sands Point.
