“Katherine of Ergeon worked remotely with me to create a quote for a new fence. The technology for remote access to my mobile phone was easy to use and worked flawlessly. Katherine and I worked together to determine every aspect of the project and ultimately came up with a very detailed specification. The quote that she created was much more detailed than the other quotes that I received. She was very professional and a pleasure to work with.”

“My experience is with customer service. I had the pleasure of speaking with Alex. He walked me through the whole process, answered all my questions, and would call me back to verify if I had any additional questions. Now what company does that these days. I am having my fence done this Saturday. I will review the workmanship and see if it's as excellent as the customer service.”

Frequently asked questions about fence installation in Palo Alto
Fence installation cost in Palo Alto and the surrounding area typically depends on the material and design you choose. Common pricing (installed, 2025 averages):

Based on recent projects in Palo Alto, the average completion time from quote approval to project completion is about ~2.9 weeks.
In clear conditions (no dense vegetation, steep slopes, tight access, or rocky soil), our crews install about 60 linear feet per day. That means a 100-ft run is ~1–2 days and 200-ft is ~3–4 days. Posts are set in concrete and framing can often begin the same day. Complex sites, extra gates, or pool code can add time. Concrete reaches full cure in ~30 days; avoid pushing on the fence during that period.
In Palo Alto, residential fence height is set by zoning and yard location. Most lots allow:
- Side yards: up to ~6 ft
- Rear yards: up to 7 feet
- Front yards: typically lower for sightlines
Local bylaws may also specify setbacks (Fences should not be located closer than 5 feet from the sidewalk.). We’ll check local planning regulations for your address to make sure your request is compliant before we build. Decorative toppers (e.g., lattice or arched caps) may increase total height where permitted.
Yes. Where a permit is required in Palo Alto, Ergeon files it and coordinates inspections for you. When we prepare your quote, our team checks Palo Alto's fence height limits, setback rules, and permit requirements so your project is compliant before installation begins. For the full details, see our guide to California fence laws.
Every Ergeon fence in Palo Alto is backed by the same warranty: a one-year craftsmanship warranty, seven-year coverage on wood and steel posts, and a five-year materials warranty on chain-link fences. Applicable manufacturer warranties are passed through to you, up to 30 years on certain vinyl products. These terms are standard on every Ergeon project.
