Fences & Gates in Los Angeles and Orange County

Horizontal wood slat fences are popular on newer and remodeled homes. Block walls offer more privacy and sound control, and they can be finished in stucco to match the house. Metal fences suit front yards where you want security without a closed-in look. We set posts in concrete, use hardware rated for outdoor exposure, and build gates that do not sag.

Cities limit fence height, and the limits are usually lower in front yard setbacks than along side and rear property lines. Block walls and taller fences may need a permit and footing design. Pool barriers have their own safety rules. Requirements vary by city, and KR checks them for your address before you commit to a design.

When a backyard ADU is rented or used by family, a separate side-yard gate and path gives the unit its own entry. A fence line between the yards adds privacy for both households. We plan the gate, path, and lighting along with the unit, often with a patio or porch at the door. If you are in the early stages, our ADU guide covers what to think about first.
