About Us Fence Contractor in Lake County, IL

Lake County, ILAbout Our Company

John's Fence is a second-generation fencing company built from a family tradition that began in 1985.

Our owner, Juan Acosta, grew up working alongside his father, where he learned the value of hard work and quality craftsmanship. After graduating from college in 2014, he founded John's Fence while beginning a career in law enforcement. In 2021, he left law enforcement to focus fully on fencing.

Today, John's Fence continues to operate on the same values Juan learned at a young age: quality workmanship, honest service, and community involvement. Our team proudly supports local programs, including donations to food pantries and the Shop with a Cop program, while providing dependable fencing solutions for homes, businesses, and rural properties across Lake County, Illinois.
