Fence Installation & Repair services in San Mateo
San Mateo is the largest city we serve on the Peninsula, and it has three kinds of ground. East of Highway 101, Shoreview and the neighborhoods near the lagoons sit on low, flat land close to the bay, where the water table is high and a post hole can turn wet a couple of feet down. The middle of the city, from downtown and North Central through Hayward Park to Hillsdale, is level and built up, with small to medium lots and a mix of houses, apartments and shops. West of El Camino Real the land rises through Baywood, Aragon and San Mateo Park, older neighborhoods with large trees and period homes, and then into the steeper streets of Laurelwood and the western hills. San Mateo is warmer and sunnier than San Francisco, so backyard pools are more common and pool barrier work comes up regularly.

Permits and local rules
San Mateo's fence page, based on Municipal Code Chapter 27.84, allows fences up to three feet in the front yard and six feet in rear and side yards, or up to eight feet if the adjacent neighbor agrees and the part above six feet is at least 50 percent open lattice. On corner lots the street side is held to three feet. A building permit is required for a fence more than seven feet above grade.
