Reply to comment by KungLa0 in Greenwich by SkiesThaLimit36

As a dog owner, I agree. I figured dogs could be an answer but it just seemed so prolific I wondered if maybe there was some other reason I wasn’t aware of. Someone said to keep deer out and i as someone who has deer eat half of what I plant I think that makes sense too

All of these answers are good, and add in pool fence requirements to explain why chain link feels like it's everywhere in Greenwich. They usually want an "endless lawn" effect with the pool floating in the center, which means having to fence the entire property or a major chunk of it.

Any wildlife makes sense, usually expensive home = expensive landscaping. I am sure no small amount of the fences are for 'security' against would-be home invaders (especially with the Greenwich NIMBYs) but anyone who is serious about their security knows a fence is just a mild deterrent, but sometimes that's enough to discourage crimes of opportunity.
