Fence Installation & Repair services in Los Altos Hills
Nothing in Los Altos Hills is a standard suburban fence job. The town is zoned for homes on an acre or more, the roads are narrow and winding, and there are no sidewalks or commercial blocks at all. Many properties keep horses, and riding paths cross the hills between lots. Deer, coyotes and other wildlife move through the same ground, and the town writes its fence rules to keep that movement and the open look of the roads. So the fences people actually build here are open ones: post and rail, wire on wood posts, and dark metal pickets, with solid screening kept close to the house and the pool. Slopes are steady, oak roots are everywhere, and much of the town is mapped as wildfire hazard land, so we talk about metal or other non-combustible sections where a fence meets a building.

Permits and local rules
Los Altos Hills Municipal Code Section 10-1.507 says no fence, wall, gate or column may be built or replaced without a zoning or site development permit from the town. The general limit is 6 feet. Along roads, open fences start at 4.5 feet and solid ones at 3 feet, and get taller only with more setback. Barbed wire is prohibited, and chain link is allowed only with a dark vinyl coating.
