What Our Customers Say

We wanted a modern horizontal fence on a sloped yard. They stepped it perfectly so every board lines up. Couldn't be happier.
Chris T.
Horizontal fence
We needed a fence that met our HOA rules. They knew exactly what to ask for and the fence passed review the first time. Clean, quiet crew.
Priya S.
Vinyl privacy fence
We shared the cost with our neighbor and the crew made both sides happy. Same nice side facing both yards.

Does a Cedar Fence Suit Your Hillsboro Home?

Hillsboro's newer neighborhoods lean modern, and horizontal cedar is the fence many owners there ask for. On shared back lines, good-neighbor cedar keeps every yard looking at a finished face.

Many homes in Orenco, AmberGlen and South Hillsboro are recent builds with a modern look. A horizontal cedar fence suits them: long boards with tight, even gaps and a slim cap on top. It takes more care to build than a vertical fence, because each board spans post to post, so we set posts closer together and keep them dead plumb.

Where one back line is shared by three or four yards, a good-neighbor cedar fence is the fair choice. The boards alternate sides of the rails, so no one ends up looking at the framing. Many Hillsboro HOAs also name a stain color, which we apply once the cedar has dried.

Hillsboro's code caps residential fences at about 6 feet, so a cedar fence here is usually built to that height. Below it, posts set to drain and a kickboard along the ground keep the cedar out of the wet soil.

Hillsboro Cedar Fence Questions

Is horizontal cedar harder to build than a regular fence?
A little. Each board runs post to post, so posts go closer together and must be perfectly plumb, or the gaps show it.
How tall can a cedar fence be in Hillsboro?
The city's Community Development Code limits residential fences to about 6 feet. We check where your fence sits on the lot against the code before building.
When can a new cedar fence be stained?
After the boards dry out, usually during a dry stretch in the warmer months. We'll tell you when yours is ready.
Can a cedar fence go up between my yard and three neighbors?
Yes. We settle the corners with everyone first and often suggest good-neighbor cedar so all sides look finished.
