Fence Installation & Repair services in Woodside
Woodside is horse country, and its fences look the part: board and rail paddocks, wire on wood posts, and simple timber gates at the end of long driveways. The town sits against the redwood slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains, with estate lots along Mountain Home Road and Canada Road and smaller, steeper, heavily wooded lots in Woodside Glens and up toward Skyline. Town guidelines ask for fences that are open, natural in material and color, and modest in scale. They discourage chain link and solid walls, and they push taller and solid fences well back from the road. Entry gates are expected to be mostly open as well. On the practical side, redwood and oak roots, steep banks, creeks and winter mud all slow the digging. The area is served by the Woodside Fire Protection District, and fire safety shapes what owners build near the house.

Permits and local rules
Woodside has a town permit for fences, walls, gates, pylons and berms. Its adopted fence guidelines allow an open fence up to 4 feet at a 10 foot setback and 4 to 6 feet at 20 feet, while a solid fence of 4 to 6 feet needs a 50 foot setback. Entry gates are limited to 6 feet and must be 40 percent open. The guidelines date from 2016, so we confirm the current code section with the town.
