What puts Academy Fence above its competition is the pride we take in our work, our staff and our home.
I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him.

A Family Tradition
In 1958 Ken and Jane Slack opened the doors of Academy Fence in Saint James, NY. This began a tradition of leading the Long Island fence industry with innovative style, service and value.
Our tradition actually goes back even further. Walter and Elizabeth Lehmann, our grandparents, opened their shop in 1925 in Ridgewood, New York. The family’s fourth generation has carried that work forward, creating innovative fencing and other products to beautify your home and garden.
