Fence Installation & Repair services in Stanford
Stanford is not a city. The campus is unincorporated Santa Clara County land, so fence rules come from the county and not from Palo Alto next door. The homes we see here are in the faculty and staff neighborhoods on the south and west sides of campus, on streets that curve up toward the foothills under old oaks. Houses date from the early 1900s through the mid-century, lots are irregular, and many sit on a slope. The land under these homes is leased from the university, so an owner should ask the university's housing office what it wants to see before a fence changes. Deer walk in from the open foothills near the Dish, and that drives a lot of requests for taller garden fencing. The rest of our campus-area work is institutional: chain link, court fencing, enclosures and gates.

Permits and local rules
Fences on unincorporated land at Stanford fall under the Santa Clara County Zoning Ordinance, Section 4.20.050. We could not open the county's own text, so we do not quote its height figures here. The Department of Planning and Development confirms the limit and any building permit for a parcel, and homes on leased university land should check with Stanford as well.
