What Our Customers Say

We wanted a modern horizontal fence on a sloped yard. They stepped it perfectly so every board lines up. Couldn't be happier.
Chris T.
Horizontal fence
We needed a fence that met our HOA rules. They knew exactly what to ask for and the fence passed review the first time. Clean, quiet crew.
Priya S.
Vinyl privacy fence
We shared the cost with our neighbor and the crew made both sides happy. Same nice side facing both yards.

Replacing a Subdivision Fence in Clackamas With Cedar?

Most original subdivision fences in Clackamas were wood, and cedar is what owners usually go back to. A new cedar fence ties into the street's look while the posts underneath are built better than the first time.

When a Clackamas subdivision fence comes down, most owners want the new one to look like it belongs. A cedar fence does that: same warm wood, similar board width, and a top height lined up with the run next door. What changes is underneath. The first fences on many of these streets went in quickly; ours go on posts set deep with gravel below and concrete sloped away.

Because back lines here are shared, good-neighbor cedar is a popular pick. The boards alternate sides of the rails, so both yards see a finished face. A cap board on top sheds rain off the end grain, and a kickboard at the bottom keeps the cedar out of the wet soil.

Height follows the county, not a city. In the village districts near Sunnyside Village, a cedar fence can be 6 feet at or behind the front of the house and 4 feet ahead of it. Other zones have their own rules, and we check yours before we draw anything up.

What Affects the Cost of a Cedar Fence in Clackamas

These choices decide the price of a new cedar fence.

  • Height and length

    A 6-foot back line takes more cedar than a 4-foot front fence.

  • Style

    Good-neighbor and cap-and-trim designs use more boards and labor.

  • Board grade

    Clearer cedar costs more than knotty standard grades.

  • Post type

    Galvanized steel posts cost more up front and won't rot.

  • Removal

    Taking out the old subdivision fence adds time.

Clackamas Cedar Fence Questions

How tall can a cedar fence be in Clackamas?
It depends on your county zone. In the village districts near Sunnyside Village, 6 feet at or behind the front of the house and 4 feet in front. We check other zones lot by lot.
Can a new cedar fence match my neighbor's older one?
We match board width, height and style. New cedar is lighter at first and weathers toward the older color, or a stain on both evens it out sooner.
Are cedar posts a good idea in Clackamas soil?
Posts are the part that stays wet, so we often pair cedar boards with ground-contact rated or galvanized steel posts. We'll go over both in the estimate.
Do you build good-neighbor cedar fences?
Yes. They're a common choice on Clackamas back lines because both yards get the finished side.
