Meet the Team
Fences By Jerry has been serving Santa Cruz, CA, since 2000, specializing in custom fence and gate installation, repair, painting, staining, and weatherproofing. Founded by Jerry, the company has built a reputation for constructing stylish, functional, and secure fencing solutions that enhance curb appeal and property value. Beyond fences, they also build low-maintenance decks and retaining walls to expand outdoor living spaces. Operating near landmarks like the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, West Cliff Drive, and the UC Santa Cruz campus, the team understands local challenges such as soil erosion around fence posts and fence damage from wildfire exposure. To combat erosion, they use deep-set posts with concrete footings and drainage gravel, ensuring stability in Santa Cruz’s coastal soil. For wildfire resilience, they recommend fire-resistant materials like metal or composite and apply weatherproofing treatments that reduce ignition risk. Whether you’re in the Pleasure Point neighborhood or near the Santa Cruz Wharf, Fences By Jerry provides durable, tailored solutions that withstand the area’s unique climate.

Questions and Answers
How do you prevent fence posts from shifting in Santa Cruz’s sandy or erosion-prone soil?
We address soil erosion by digging post holes deeper than standard—at least 24 inches—and pouring concrete footings with a gravel base for drainage. This technique anchors the posts firmly, preventing leaning or sinking even in areas near the San Lorenzo River or coastal bluffs. We also recommend periodic inspections to check for washout after heavy rains.
What types of fence materials do you recommend for wildfire-prone areas near Santa Cruz?
For properties near wildland-urban interfaces like the Santa Cruz Mountains or Bonny Doon, we suggest metal fencing (aluminum or steel), composite materials, or fire-treated wood. These resist ignition from embers. We also apply fire-retardant weatherproofing coatings and maintain a 5-foot clearance of dry vegetation around fences to reduce risk.
Can you repair a fence that was damaged by strong coastal winds or salt air?
Yes, we repair wind-damaged panels, replace corroded hardware, and re-stain or paint wood fences to protect against salt spray. For long-term durability, we can upgrade to pressure-treated lumber or rust-resistant fasteners. We serve neighborhoods from Capitola to Westside Santa Cruz, adapting repairs to local weather conditions.
