Zoning limits are 3.5 feet in the front yard and 6 feet in the rear, with a 0-foot setback allowed on the property line. Corner lots near US-101 must maintain a clear 'sight triangle' for traffic visibility; fencing within this zone is prohibited. The Golden Hills Municipal Code enforces these for Highland Park.

We schedule initial site assessments within one week. Our standard route from the Golden Hills Civic Center uses US-101 to reach Highland Park, resulting in a consistent 35-45 minute travel time for consultations. The current average labor rate for certified installers in the area is $45 per hour.

California law requires contacting 811 Underground Service Alert of Northern California at least two working days before excavation.

California Civil Code 841 (the 'Good Neighbor Fence Act') requires 30-day written notice to all adjoining property owners for a new shared boundary fence. A 2026 update now requires this notice to include material specifications for review by the Design Review Board in historic districts.

The 12-inch frost line depth mandates a footing depth of at least 18 inches. In Highland Park, posts set above this line will lift from frost heave, creating a permanent lean. The 2018 IRC and local amendments require this for structural stability against soil movement.
