Fence Installation & Repair services in Union City
Two old farm towns, Alvarado and Decoto, joined in 1959 to make Union City, and you can still read that in the fence work. Alvarado is on the low western side, close to the bay, where the soil is dark clay and yards drain slowly. Decoto sits east along the railroad at the foot of the hills, with older, smaller lots and narrow side yards. The wide middle of the city filled in during the 1960s and 1970s with tract homes whose rear fences back onto each other or onto a flood control channel. The city treats those channel, railroad and school edges differently and allows a taller rear fence there. East of Mission Boulevard the streets climb, and fences have to follow the slope. Union City is also stricter than its neighbors about fence materials, so we check the planning handout before we suggest vinyl or metal for a tall run.

Permits and local rules
Union City's residential handout limits fences to 3 feet inside the front setback and 6 feet in interior side and rear yards, with up to 8 feet where a rear yard backs onto a flood channel, railroad, park, school or major arterial. No permit is needed under 7 feet. The handout also restricts which materials may be used above 3 feet.
