Chesterfield HOA Navigation Experts

Chesterfield County has some of the strictest HOA covenants in Central Virginia. We've mastered Brandermill, Woodlake, Magnolia Green, and 50+ other communities.

Brandermill Community

With 11,000+ residents, Brandermill's Architectural Review Board (ARB) is one of the most rigorous in Richmond. Their mission: preserve the "natural earth" aesthetic.

Critical Requirements:

  • Natural Earth Tones Only: White fences rarely approved. Tan, brown, cedar stain, or weathered gray required. Chain link prohibited in visible areas.
  • Material Samples Required: ARB demands physical samples (6" fence picket section) with application. We provide these at no charge.
  • Scale Drawings: Must show fence location relative to property lines, structures, and trees. We create professional CAD drawings.
  • Weekly Review Meetings: ARB meets weekly, but applications must be submitted 10 days prior. We manage the timeline to avoid delays.
  • 6-Month Approval Window: Once approved, you have 6 months to complete installation or reapply. We schedule promptly after approval.

Evergreen's Brandermill Success Rate: 100% ARB approval on first submission. We know what they want before you apply.

Woodlake Community

Woodlake's 1,800 homes surround pristine lakes. Their covenants prioritize preserving natural views and maintaining property values through strict architectural controls.

Critical Requirements:

  • Natural Wood Preference: Pressure treated pine or cedar preferred. Vinyl approved in tan/earth tones only—stark white typically rejected.
  • Height Maximum: 6 Feet: Strictly enforced 60-inch (5ft) or 72-inch (6ft) maximum depending on lot location. No exceptions.
  • Chain Link Restrictions: Standard galvanized chain link prohibited unless vinyl-coated and installed *inside* a wood fence for additional security.
  • Lakefront Prohibitions: Fences perpendicular to lakes (blocking views) are generally not approved. Parallel fences must be set back from water.
  • Neighbor Notification: Some sections require written notification to adjacent property owners. We provide template letters.

Evergreen's Woodlake Expertise: We've installed 75+ fences in Woodlake. We know which streets require special approvals and which ARB members handle fence applications.

Magnolia Green

Chesterfield's newest master-planned community (2,200 homes planned). Magnolia Green's guidelines vary by neighborhood within the development.

Cornerstone Village:

  • • Board-on-board wood mandatory
  • • 6ft rear/side, 4ft front (transition height)
  • • Natural wood stain or tan/brown paint

Other Sections:

  • • Vinyl approved (white, tan, clay)
  • • Aluminum for pools and decorative
  • • Specific gate hardware requirements

Chesterfield-Specific Installation Expertise

Expansive Clay Soil Challenge

Chesterfield sits on heavy clay soil that expands up to 10% when wet (winter/spring) and shrinks when dry (summer). This creates extreme pressure on fence posts.

Evergreen's Solution:

  • 42-inch post depth: 6 inches deeper than standard to reach below active clay zone
  • Oversized concrete footers: 12-inch diameter vs. standard 8-inch provides lateral stability
  • 3-day cure time: We don't hang rails for 72 hours, allowing concrete to reach full strength
  • Gravel drainage layer: 4 inches of crushed stone at post bottom prevents water pooling and frost heave

Rolling Terrain

Unlike flat Richmond City, Chesterfield has significant elevation changes. We use stepped or racked panel designs to follow terrain naturally without creating gaps at the bottom—critical for dog containment.

Septic Systems & Drain Fields

Many Chesterfield homes use septic systems. We coordinate with surveyors and septic companies to identify drain field locations, preventing catastrophic post-hole damage to leach lines (which can cost $10,000+ to repair).

Pool Fence Partnership Program

Chesterfield issues 1,000+ pool permits annually. We partner with every major pool builder to provide seamless, code-compliant fence installation.

What Chesterfield Homeowners Say

"We were terrified of the Brandermill ARB process after hearing horror stories from neighbors. Evergreen handled everything—drawings, samples, the whole application. Approved in 2 weeks! Installation was flawless."

— Jennifer & Mark D., Brandermill

"Our pool fence had to pass Chesterfield County inspection for our pool's final approval. Evergreen installed it perfectly—self-closing gates, correct latch height, everything. Inspector passed it in 5 minutes."

— Robert T., Midlothian
