What do you need?

What does wood fence installation in Anaheim involve?

A wood fence is only as good as its posts. The work starts with measuring the run and marking the line, then calling DigAlert at 811 so utilities are marked before anyone digs. The crew removes the old fence if there is one, digs the post holes and sets the posts in concrete so they stay plumb.

Rails go on next, then the pickets or boards, then the cap and any trim. Gates are hung last and adjusted so they swing freely and latch cleanly. Good wood fence installation in Anaheim also includes clean-up, so you are not left with broken pickets and bags of concrete in the yard.

If you have a block wall on one side, we can build the wood fence to meet it or extend the height with panels on top, once the wall is checked and found sound.

Which wood works for a fence in Anaheim?

The common choices are redwood, cedar and pressure-treated pine or fir. Each has a place.

  • Redwood is the traditional California fence wood. It resists rot and insects well, takes stain nicely and stays straight when it is good stock.
  • Cedar is similar, with a pleasant smell and good stability. It costs more than pine.
  • Pressure-treated pine or fir is the budget choice. It holds up if the posts and cut ends are treated, but it can twist or crack as it dries.

Local conditions to plan for

Southern California has strong sun and long dry spells, which dry out and gray untreated wood. Termites are a real concern in Orange County, so posts and any wood touching soil should be rated for ground contact. Lawn sprinklers aimed at the fence line cause more early rot than rain does, so we suggest keeping the heads clear of the boards.

A seal or stain every couple of years keeps any wood fence looking better and lasting longer.

What changes the price of a wood fence?

We do not give prices over the phone because every yard is different. These are the things that move the quote.

  • Length and height. A six foot fence costs more than a four foot one, and more footage means more material and labor.
  • Type of wood. Redwood and cedar cost more than treated pine.
  • Slope. Hillside lots in Anaheim Hills need stepped panels and deeper posts, which takes more time.
  • Soil and obstacles. Clay, rock, roots and sprinkler lines slow the digging.
  • Gates. A walk gate is small. A wide drive gate is a bigger job.
  • Tear-out. Removing and hauling off an old fence adds crew time and disposal cost.

If you are weighing a second material, take a look at vinyl fencing. Either way, we break the quote into clear lines so you can see where the money goes.

A typical back yard fence takes a few working days from the first post to the last gate, depending on the length, the weather and how much old fence has to come out. Concrete needs time to set before panels go on, so the work is not one single push.

On the first day the crew arrives, confirms the line with you and begins tearing out and digging. Expect some noise and a few trips through the side yard. Please move vehicles, pots and anything fragile away from the fence line, and tell us about pets so gates stay shut.

When the job is finished we clean up, walk the fence with you and check the gates. You can then stain or seal the wood once it has had time to dry, or leave it to weather naturally.

When should I call about a wood fence?

Call when your fence leans, has soft or rotted posts, or has gaps your pets can get through. Call if neighbors are sharing the cost and you want the line checked before you talk. It also makes sense to call before listing a home, since a fresh fence helps first impressions.

If the fence only needs a few new boards or a stronger post, see our fence repair page. If you want a wood-free option, take a look at aluminum and iron fencing. Or head back to the home page for the full list of services in Anaheim.

Questions about fencing in Anaheim

How tall can my wood fence be in Anaheim?

Rules differ by location on the lot. Orange County cities commonly allow about six feet along side and rear property lines, and keep front yard fences much lower. Heights above the limit, or fences on top of retaining walls, can need approval. We check the rules for your address and you should confirm with the city.

Is redwood worth the extra cost over pine?

For many owners it is. Redwood resists rot and insects better, stays straighter and looks better with stain. Treated pine costs less and works well on a budget if the posts are rated for ground contact. We can quote both so you can see the difference for your fence length.

Should the posts be set in concrete?

Yes, in most cases. Concrete holds posts straight against wind and soil movement, which is important when Santa Ana winds push on solid panels. Post depth and spacing matter as much as the wood. We list both in the written quote so you can check them against any other bid.

Can you build a wood fence on top of my block wall?

Often yes, if the wall is in good condition and was built to carry the extra height. We inspect it first for cracks, leaning and weak footings. If the wall is not sound, we will tell you and show the options before anything is built on top of it.

How long will a wood fence last here?

It depends on the wood, the posts and how it is cared for. A well-built fence with sealed wood and protected posts can last many years, while a cheap build with untreated posts will fail much sooner. Keeping sprinklers off the boards and re-sealing now and then helps a lot.

Do you remove my old fence?

Yes, removal and haul-away can be included in the quote. We list it as its own line so you can see the cost. If you prefer to keep part of the old fence, such as good posts or a gate, we can plan around that and tell you honestly whether it is worth reusing.
