Fence Installation & Repair services in East Palo Alto
East Palo Alto sits in San Mateo County on low, level ground beside the bay marshes and San Francisquito Creek. Most of the city is single-family homes on compact lots, many of them built in the years after the war, and a fence here usually has several jobs at once: privacy from a close neighbor, a secure driveway gate and a safe yard for children or a dog. We replace a lot of worn chain link and patched board fence with new wood, vinyl or ornamental steel, and rolling or swing driveway gates are a common request. In the Weeks neighborhood, lots are deep and narrow, a leftover from the area's poultry farm days, so side fence runs are long. Near the bay the ground holds water after rain, and we set posts with drainage in mind. The city bans barbed wire, razor wire and electric fencing.
