How we build
Same three crews for the last decade
Ridgepost has been fencing the Sacramento valley since 2005. We dig to two feet and set every post in concrete, which costs more in labor and is why our fences are still standing straight after ten summers of clay soil moving. Gates get three hinges and a proper diagonal brace, because a sagging gate is the first thing that fails on every cheap fence.
•Every post set in concrete, no exceptions
•Underground utilities located before we dig
•Five year workmanship warranty in writing

FAQ
Fence questions
How much does a backyard fence cost?
A typical Sacramento backyard of 150 linear feet in six foot wood runs about $5,700 to $8,000 installed, plus gates. Removing an old fence adds roughly six dollars per foot, and slopes and hard access can add more.
Do I need a permit for a fence?
In most Sacramento area jurisdictions, fences up to six feet in a rear yard do not require a permit, while anything taller, any front yard fence over three or four feet, and all pool barriers usually do. We check your city's rules and pull the permit when the job needs one.
Who is responsible for a shared property line fence?
California's Good Neighbor Fence Act presumes adjoining owners share the cost of a boundary fence, but it requires written notice to your neighbor before you build. We provide a scope and drawing you can hand over, and we recommend having that conversation before we schedule.
How long does installation take?
Most residential fences are two days, with posts and concrete set the first day and panels and gates the second so the concrete can cure. Larger properties and automated gates take three to five days.
