In Stockton, CA, Ergeon's published rates run about $42/ft for wood and $36/ft for vinyl installed (2025 averages), depending on style, height, and gates. Average project cost on the city page is about $5,201 across 670 completed San Joaquin County jobs since 2020. Length, height, gates, and access in Brookside, Lincoln Village, Weston Ranch, or the Spanos Park subdivisions usually move the total more than a single panel price. Redwood is the local default, which is why wood sits above vinyl here.
Wood is Ergeon's most-installed material in Stockton and the published local rate is about $42/ft installed (2025). Vinyl runs about $36/ft. The wood premium reflects the Central Valley preference for redwood: Traditional Dog Ear in redwood Con Common and Full Frame Picture Frame in redwood board-on-board with an 8-inch kickboard are the two privacy workhorses, with Value Dog Ear and Decorative In Panel in cedar as the budget and street-facing options. Picket Fence and Ranch Rail are quoted per project for front yards and rural lots toward Linden and Farmington. Your final scope still changes most with footage, finished height, gate count, and haul-away.
National cost context: wood fence costs and vinyl fence costs.
Recent Ergeon Stockton jobs show how scope swings totals even within one material: $9,162 (N Yosemite St, wood), $5,218 (Kelley Dr, wood), $3,675 (Mono Ct, wood), and $1,091 (W 6th St, wood). Short partial runs and single-side replacements land near the bottom. Full rear perimeters with gates land near the $5,201 city-page average, and long redwood Picture Frame runs on larger north Stockton lots climb toward five figures.
Popular wood packages on the Stockton city fence page include Value Dog Ear, Traditional Dog Ear, Full Frame Picture Frame, Decorative In Panel, Picket Fence, and Ranch Rail. Vinyl Solid Privacy is the low-upkeep alternative. Match package names, finished height, and gate count before you compare bids.
Taller rear privacy (Stockton lots allow up to about 6 ft on side yards and 7 ft in rear yards, rising to 8 ft where the lot backs onto a park or nonresidential use, with front yards typically lower for sightlines), extra gates, haul-away of an old fence, and clay soil that needs deeper footings add cost. Stockton has no fence-specific setbacks, so most fences run on the property line, but corner-lot street sides often follow front-yard height rules. HOA architectural review in Brookside, Spanos Park, and Weston Ranch can also steer you toward a specific style, stain, or good-neighbor orientation. When a drawing is required, a site plan can confirm fence height and lot lines before you lock materials.
