Fence and wall installation costs in Phoenix (2026)

Updated July 2026

Phoenix fencing costs vary a lot by material, since block wall, wrought iron, and chain link all serve different purposes here and price very differently per linear foot. Below are 2026 Valley-area ranges by material type, with the drivers behind them. For an exact figure, get a few free quotes from local pros.

Block wall (the Phoenix default)

Concrete block wall is the most common fencing material in the Valley, used for backyard privacy and sound separation between properties. Installed pricing runs roughly $45 to $125 per linear foot, with the spread driven by wall height, whether it is painted or stuccoed, and whether it needs footings for slope or soil conditions. A basic block wall around a typical backyard commonly lands in the thousands of dollars total; get a per-project quote since per-foot pricing alone does not capture gate and corner costs.

Wrought iron, chain link, wood, and vinyl

View fencing (wrought iron or similar ornamental metal), popular for front yards and pool areas where visibility matters, runs about $35 to $75 per linear foot in Arizona. Chain link is the budget option at roughly $15 to $28 per linear foot in the Phoenix area. Wood fencing in the Phoenix area runs about $10 to $50 per linear foot, with most homeowners spending around $1,364 total (commonly $427 to $2,948), and Phoenix's caliche soil and heat can push labor toward the higher end. Vinyl fencing in the Phoenix area runs about $15 to $40 per linear foot, often toward the higher end locally due to caliche soil and heat, with a typical installed total around $2,707 (commonly $1,810 to $3,604). Both materials are less common in the Valley than block or iron.

Gates and repairs

In the Phoenix area, a single gate typically runs $150 to $400 and a double gate $300 to $800, installed. Phoenix-specific repair pricing is not widely published, so these are national figures. Fence repair nationally averages around $616 per job, or roughly $30 per linear foot for a partial repair, varying by material (chain link repairs cost less per foot, masonry and iron repairs more).
