All Around Fence, a family-owned fencing contractor based in Pasadena, is now in its 25th year serving residential and commercial customers across Anne Arundel County.
The company was founded by Jim Ver Hoef and is now operated day-to-day by his son Jeremy Verhoef. Both owners stay involved in every project, from the initial property measurement through the final walkthrough. Unlike larger regional contractors that assign rotating project managers, All Around Fence sends an owner to every job site to take measurements, confirm fence placement, and inspect the finished work alongside the homeowner. And with the stark rise in inexperienced fence companies hitting the US, this owner-first mentality has served them extremely well.
All Around Fence holds Maryland Home Improvement Commission license No. 97820 with zero complaints on record and maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. The company earned the Angie's List Super Service Award in 2014 and has collected 171 Google reviews. It installs wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link fencing, along with automated gates and fence repair services, for residential and commercial customers throughout central Maryland.
Over the past 25 years, the number of fence contractors operating across Maryland has grown considerably. With that growth, All Around Fence has observed a rise in repair calls from homeowners who hired lower-cost crews and later discovered improper post depths, inadequate concrete footings, or panels installed without accounting for slope — problems that require partial or full reinstallation to correct. The company's response has been to keep the same ownership-present model it used on its first job in 2001: an owner measures every property, specifies materials suited to that site's soil and grade, and inspects the finished work before the homeowner signs off.
Wood fencing uses pressure-treated lumber as the standard, with every post set below the local frost line in concrete footings sized for each property's soil conditions. The company's signature look is a vertical board fence finished with a cap rail, a design that has become one of the more requested styles for backyard privacy among the company's residential customers. Vinyl installations feature steel-reinforced rails in more than a dozen color options, including white, tan, khaki, gray, black, and two-tone combinations. Aluminum panels are powder-coated for the humidity common near the Chesapeake Bay and are rackable, meaning they follow the slope of a yard without leaving gaps at the bottom.
Chain link installations range from residential backyard enclosures to commercial perimeter fencing with privacy slat options, and split rail fencing remains a steady request for rural and larger residential properties. The company also builds custom decks and handles the full permitting process on behalf of customers — including HOA design-review submissions and 811 utility coordination — from initial application through final inspection sign-off.
"There are a lot more fence companies out there than there were 25 years ago, and not all of them are doing it right," said Jeremy Verhoef, Owner of All Around Fence & Decks. "We see it in the repair calls we get — posts that weren't set deep enough, panels that weren't racked to the slope. That is not how we operate, and it never will be."
