PASADENA, MD – August 13, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
All Around Fence & Decks has completed a 150-foot black aluminum fence and matching gate along a waterfront home in nearby Arnold, giving the owners an open view of the water while keeping young grandchildren back from the shoreline.
Waterfront lots in Anne Arundel County pose a problem most yards do not. Homeowners want a barrier for children and pets near open water, yet a solid privacy fence would wall off the view that made the property worth buying in the first place. The peninsulas around the Magothy and Severn rivers are lined with homes whose back yards end at a dock or a bulkhead, and across more than 25 years of work along those tidal creeks, the company has watched more of those owners land on low, open aluminum fencing as the way to keep the view open and the yard safe at the same time.
All Around Fence & Decks is a family business that has installed fences across Anne Arundel County for more than 25 years. It holds Maryland Home Improvement Commission license #97820, a state contractor license it has carried with no complaints on record, along with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and an Angie’s List Super Service Award earned in 2014. Owners Jim Ver Hoef and his son Jeremy Verhoef stay involved in each job, with an owner present at the first measurement and again at the final walkthrough.
The Arnold project sits at the edge of a tidal creek, where salt carried in the air can corrode ordinary metal over time. To stand up to that, the crew used powder-coated aluminum, a finish baked onto the metal that resists rust in humid, coastal conditions far better than paint. The black flat-top panels rise just high enough to serve as a barrier without blocking the water behind them, and the pickets are spaced closely so a small child cannot slip through toward the bank. The run totals roughly 150 feet and includes a single gate finished to match the rest of the line.
Before any post went in, the company confirmed the property lines and how close the fence could sit to the water, a common concern on shoreline lots where local rules limit how near the bank a structure can be built. Because the yard slopes down toward the creek, the installers racked the aluminum panels, angling each section to follow the grade so no gaps opened beneath the rails. Each post was set in a concrete footing sized for the soft, shifting soil common near the water, so the line stays plumb as the ground moves through the region’s freeze and thaw. Utility lines were located before digging began, and the gate was hung and latched to line up with the finished fence.
“On the water, people assume they have to pick between a view and a fence that lasts, and that is a false choice,” said Jeremy Verhoef, owner of All Around Fence & Decks. “The right aluminum with a baked-on finish shrugs off the salt air, and a low black line almost disappears against the water. After more than two decades out here, I can tell you which fences come back needing repairs, and it is not these.”
