Fence Installation & Repair services in Menlo Park
Ask where in Menlo Park the house is, because the answer changes the fence. In The Willows and Allied Arts the streets are shaded by big oaks and sycamores, lots are modest, and a fence often has to work around a trunk that the city treats as a heritage tree. Sharon Heights climbs toward the hills on the west side, with larger lots, slopes and some association rules. Belle Haven, east of Highway 101, is flat ground close to the bay with small lots and many chain link and wood fences that are due for replacement. Along El Camino Real and near the Caltrain line, owners ask for solid fences to cut noise. Front fences are kept low across the city, and corner lots have a sight triangle to respect. Winter rain and summer drought both work on posts set in the local clay.

Permits and local rules
Menlo Park's residential fence page, based on Zoning Ordinance Chapter 16.64, sets a 4 foot limit in the required front setback and 7 feet in side and rear yards. On a corner lot the limit is 3 feet inside the sight triangle, measured 35 feet from the intersection. The city says wood fences not over 7 feet are exempt from a building permit.
