What Our Customers Say

Our old fence was leaning into the neighbor's yard. They gave us a clear written quote, showed up on the day they said, and the new cedar fence went up in two days. They even raked up the sawdust.
Megan R.
Cedar fence replacement
They explained the corner-lot height rules before we asked and designed around them. Very professional.
Rosa M.
Corner lot fence
They hauled away our old 30-year fence the same day and built the new one right after. Not a nail left in the grass.

Fence tear-out and replacement

What Does the County Allow on Your Clackamas Lot?

In Clackamas there is no city hall to ask. The county's zoning ordinance sets the fence rules, and they change with your zone, so a Clackamas fence installation starts with finding out which one your lot is in.

Clackamas is unincorporated, so a fence here answers to the Clackamas County Zoning and Development Ordinance. In the village districts around Sunnyside Village (VR-5/7, VR-4/5 and VTH), the county's table allows 6 feet at or behind the front of the house and 4 feet forward of it. The ordinary low-density zones are handled elsewhere in the code, so we look your lot up instead of guessing.

Most fence installation work in Clackamas happens inside planned subdivisions from the 1990s. Back lines are shared, heights and styles were set when the streets were built, and one new section sits right next to two old ones. We line up the post spacing and top height with the fences on either side so the change doesn't jump out from the street.

Below ground, the job is about winter. Posts go in with a gravel base and concrete shaped to shed rain, and they cure before the fence goes on, so the new line stays plumb through the wet months.

What Affects the Cost of Fence Installation in Clackamas

These are the things that change the size of a Clackamas fence installation.

  • Length and height

    Longer runs and 6-foot sections need more posts and boards than a 4-foot front fence.

  • Matching the line

    Fitting a new section between two old ones can mean custom post spacing.

  • Material

    Cedar, vinyl, chain link and horizontal styles all differ in material and labor.

  • Gates

    Each gate adds a heavier post, framing and hardware.

  • Old fence removal

    Tearing out and hauling away the original fence adds time.

Clackamas Fence Installation Questions

Is Clackamas a city with its own fence code?
No. Clackamas is unincorporated, so Clackamas County's zoning ordinance applies. The limits depend on your zone, and we look yours up before we quote.
How high can a new fence be near Sunnyside Village?
In the county's village districts (VR-5/7, VR-4/5 and VTH), 6 feet at or behind the front of the house and 4 feet in front of it.
Do I need building review for a 6-foot wood fence in Clackamas?
No. Oregon's residential code sets a 7-foot floor: wood, wire-mesh and chain link fences at or under it stay out of building review. A fence around a pool is the exception.
Can the new fence tie into my neighbor's existing one?
Usually, if their end post is sound. If it isn't, we set a new post beside it so your fence doesn't depend on theirs.
