Ornamental and aluminum fencing blends classic architectural beauty with modern-day durability, making it one of the most versatile fencing options available today. Designed to replicate the elegant look of wrought iron without the heavy maintenance requirements, aluminum fencing delivers long-lasting performance while maintaining a refined, upscale appearance. For homeowners, business owners, property managers, and municipalities throughout Central Illinois, it offers an ideal balance of aesthetics, strength, and practicality.
These systems are equally effective for residential properties and commercial environments such as office parks, medical campuses, apartment communities, retail centers, schools, and government facilities—where appearance, security, and code compliance must work together.
These fencing systems are commonly chosen to enhance curb appeal, define property boundaries, and improve safety and security, all without creating a closed-off or industrial feel. Unlike solid privacy fences, ornamental and aluminum fencing preserves sightlines, making it especially popular for front yards, patios, pools, commercial campuses, and public-facing properties where visibility matters.
At Hohulin Fence Co., ornamental and aluminum fencing is a core component of our full line of fence installation services. With roots dating back to 1897 and more than 120 years of hands-on experience, we bring unmatched craftsmanship and practical insight to every residential and commercial project. From Peoria and Bloomington-Normal to Springfield, Champaign-Urbana, and Decatur, our fences are designed to complement the character of each property while standing up to Central Illinois weather year after year.
A beautiful fence doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of careful planning, expert installation, and attention to detail at every stage. Our team follows a disciplined, proven approach that has been refined over generations of fence-building experience.
Every project begins with a thorough site visit. We evaluate your property layout, elevation changes, access points, and functional goals — whether that’s security, pool safety, visual impact, or property definition. From there, we help you choose the right styles, heights, spacing, and finishes to complement your home, business, or facility while meeting local requirements.
Central Illinois weather demands materials that can handle temperature swings, moisture, and seasonal wear. We install premium aluminum and ornamental fencing systems engineered to resist rust, fading, warping, and corrosion, ensuring long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
Proper layout is critical to both appearance and performance. Our team handles accurate measurements, utility coordination, post spacing, and gate placement to ensure a clean, functional installation from day one. This preparation eliminates common issues like misalignment, sagging, or access problems down the road.
Our experienced installers set posts, panels, and gates with precision. The result is straight lines, secure footings, smooth gate operation, and a finished fence that looks intentional, not rushed or improvised.
Before we consider the job complete, we inspect alignment, hardware, finishes, and overall functionality. This final walkthrough ensures your ornamental or aluminum fence looks exceptional and performs exactly as intended for years to come.
