LOS ALTOS · PROJECT PLANNING
A backyard boundary needs a different plan from a street frontage.
For a Los Altos project, identify whether the fence is along the street, beside the driveway or between rear yards before choosing its height. The city has a dedicated fence regulations chapter; street and corner locations need particular attention. If your line passes established landscaping, mark the plants and roots you want us to protect. Share the address and a photo of the whole fence line so we can discuss the placement before work starts.
Measure each stretch, then mark the openings.
Write down the length of each straight run rather than estimating from lot size. Mark corners, a side gate and changes in ground level on a simple sketch. A rough length is enough to start the estimate; we confirm the final scope before you book.
Agree on the boundary before replacing a shared fence.
Tell us which sections border a neighbor and whether the replacement follows the existing line. An old fence does not establish a legal boundary. If the line is uncertain, resolve it using your property records or a survey before installation. We can discuss board orientation and access with both sides once the location is clear.
Make room for removal without losing the landscaping.
Point out irrigation pipes, planters, vines and tree roots along the fence. Let us know the narrowest access route for materials and debris. Existing wood fence removal and hauling are included; walls, buried concrete or unusual access need a separate scope review.
Before you book
Can you match the fence next to mine?
Send a close photo of the boards and a wider photo showing the top profile. Our standard estimate uses pressure-treated wood. Cedar, redwood, decorative details and exact matches can be discussed and quoted separately.
Do you handle a short damaged section?
Yes, call us to discuss repair pricing. Share whether the boards are damaged, the posts are leaning or the whole run moves. A sound section may need a repair rather than a complete replacement.
Can I choose any height in the estimator?
The standard estimate is for a 6 ft wooden fence. A front or corner fence may need a different design. Confirm the current Los Altos rules for the actual location; a standard size in the tool is not an approval to build.
Tell us what needs work.
Start with your project type, fence length or number of standard gates, and city. The tool collects your contact details so we can email the estimate and follow up to confirm the work.
The free tool is a starting estimate for standard pressure-treated wood and the listed dimensions. We confirm measurements, access and the agreed scope before work. Other woods, styles, heights and nonstandard openings need a separate quote.
