Fence Installation & Repair services in Mill Valley
Redwoods, creeks and deer set the terms for a fence in Mill Valley. The town fills the canyons at the foot of Mount Tamalpais, and in Blithedale Canyon and Cascade Canyon the houses sit under tall trees on steep, shaded lots where the ground stays damp for months. Wood that would dry out elsewhere grows moss here, so species, post treatment and clearance above the soil all matter. Deer are the reason many owners want more height than the standard, and the reason gates get self-closing hardware. On the flatter ground of Sycamore Park and Tamalpais Park, lots are regular and fences are simpler. The hills and canyons are also wildfire country with narrow roads, so many owners ask about metal for the section of fence that touches the house. Ask the fire department what currently applies to your street.

Permits and local rules
Mill Valley Municipal Code Section 20.60.065 limits fencing to seven feet in interior yards and four feet in exterior yards. A taller fence, or one in the public right-of-way, needs a fence permit from the Planning and Building Department. Height is measured from finished grade at the base of the fence to the top edge of the fence material.
