Fence Installation & Repair services in San Ramon
San Ramon is across the county line in Contra Costa County, about as far north as we travel. The western half, along the freeway and up toward Crow Canyon, dates mostly from the 1970s and 1980s. The eastern half is Dougherty Valley, thousands of homes built since the late 1990s in Gale Ranch and Windemere, nearly all inside associations. That split decides most fence jobs. In the older tracts the job is replacing a tired board fence and agreeing on it with the neighbor behind. In Dougherty Valley the association's approved design comes first, and you pick from it. Hills surround the valley on both sides. They are clay over soft rock, they slide in very wet winters, and a fence at the top or bottom of a slope needs footings that allow for that. The city's own rule on a lattice top is unusual, so read the note below.

Permits and local rules
San Ramon's permit FAQ says a 7-foot fence is allowed on rear and side property lines of most properties, provided the top foot is open lattice, and a fence of up to 3 feet is allowed in the front yard setback, which is typically 20 feet. It also warns that the sidewalk edge may not be the property line.
