Privacy Fence Installation in Los Angeles, CA

A privacy fence is a solid, side-by-side board fence with no gaps between pickets, built to block sightlines into a yard completely rather than just mark a property line. It's the single most-requested fence style we install across the Los Angeles metro, and for most homeowners the reason is simple: a backyard, pool area, or side yard that's fully screened from neighbors and the street gets used more, not less.

Homeowners typically call us for privacy fence installation in a few common situations: a new home with no fencing at all, an older fence that's failed beyond the point of reasonable repair, a change in how a yard is used (a new pool, a play area, a dog run), or new construction next door that suddenly overlooks a yard that used to be private. Standard residential privacy fence height in most LA-area residential zones is 6 feet, though front-yard sections are typically capped at 3.5 to 4 feet without a variance — we confirm your specific setback and height allowance during the on-site assessment, since it varies by neighborhood and lot configuration.

Our installation process starts with an on-site walk of the property line to confirm boundaries, measure grade changes, and flag anything that affects post placement — irrigation lines, sloped grade, existing hardscape. From there we lay out post locations, dig and set posts in concrete footings sized for the fence height and local wind exposure, hang rails, and install pickets tight with no gaps. Every privacy fence we install in wood can be finished with a stain and sealant package at the time of installation, which we recommend rather than leaving new wood unfinished through its first Los Angeles summer. Most residential privacy fence installations are completed in one to three days depending on total linear footage and gate count.
