Forest Grove has historic streets near Pacific University, 1970s neighborhoods and farm edges. We build picket fences for old houses, privacy fences for backyards, and wire fences where town meets field.
Forest Grove's fence rules are short and clear: up to 42 inches in the front yard, up to 6 feet in the side and back yards, and a 10-foot by 10-foot clear vision area at every driveway and corner. No fence may cross the property line.
The yards vary more than the rules. 11.3% of Forest Grove homes are from before 1940, mostly near downtown, where a low picket fence suits the house. Newer streets want privacy fences, and lots on the edge of town often need wire fencing that keeps dogs in and deer out.
