Our work
Fencing that follows the Granada Hills slope.
The list is sorted the way the ground is sorted: what the flat tracts ask for on one side of Rinaldi Street, and what the foothill lots ask for on the other.
Rinaldi Street, the dividing line
South of Rinaldi
Flat ground and the well-kept ranch-style tracts. Posts drop into firm soil, panels run true, and a straight property line is a same-week job.
- Level lots
- Alluvial soil
- Long straight driveways
- Wide street access
Wood Fencing
Cedar and redwood privacy fence, the natural fit for the ranch-style tract backyards south of Rinaldi.

North of Rinaldi
Larger, semi-rural lots on curvilinear streets that climb toward O'Melveny Park. Each run is read for grade first, then the footings, the stepped panels, and the drainage are drawn into the quote.
- Slope footings
- Stepped panels
- Fire zone materials
- Tight hillside staging
Wrought Iron Fencing
Tubular steel and ornamental iron, non-combustible near the house on the foothill fire-zone lots.

Granada Hills fencing, up close
Rinaldi splits the grading job in two.
Ground and grading
Granada Hills is two fencing jobs in one community, and Rinaldi Street is the line between them. South of Rinaldi the land is flat valley floor, the classic well-kept ranch-style tracts on level lots, and a fence there is a straightforward job: posts drop into firm alluvial soil, panels run true, and the work moves quickly. North of Rinaldi the ground rises into the foothills of the Santa Susana Mountains, the lots grow larger and more semi-rural, and the same fence becomes a grading problem. On those slopes we plan slope footings, stepped or racked panels, and drainage behind any run below a grade, so runoff off the hillside does not heave a post out of plumb over a season.
Fire and horses
Two more things shape the work up north. The first is fire. The hillside lots north of Rinaldi, out toward O'Melveny Park and the ridgelines above Bee Canyon, sit in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, so on the stretch of fence closest to the house we steer homeowners toward tubular steel, wrought iron, or block for defensible space, and keep solid wood back from the structure. The second is horses. The semi-rural lots north of Devonshire and Rinaldi still keep horses, and there the right fence is three-rail ranch fence backed with no-climb wire, not a privacy panel.
Knollwood HOA
Then there is Knollwood. The Knollwood Country Club Estates carry an HOA and golf-course frontage with their own fencing standards, so on those lots we prepare the material, color, and height submittal for architectural review before work begins, rather than discovering a restriction after the posts are ordered. Wherever your lot sits, the fence is set for its own ground, and priced in writing before anything goes in.
Rinaldi splits the height rule too. South of it the tracts are flat and wide enough for the City to allow eight feet at the sides and rear, while the foothill lots north of it are held to six.
Pricing
What the slope does to the number.
Installed ranges by the linear foot. The written estimate is exact to your own run, your own slope, and the material you pick.
| Fence type | Installed / linear ft | Typical 150 ft run |
|---|---|---|
| Chain link | $18 to $40 | $2,700 to $6,000 |
| Wood privacy | $30 to $60 | $4,500 to $9,000 |
| Vinyl / PVC | $40 to $70 | $6,000 to $10,500 |
| Wrought iron | $50 to $120 | $7,500 to $18,000 |
Each range covers posts, panels, hardware, and labor. Removing an old fence, slope footings and drainage on a foothill lot, and premium ornamental lines all move you up it. Financing is available.
A run priced on the flats south of Rinaldi Street and the same run stepped down a foothill grade are two different figures, so we put yours on paper before any work is scheduled.
Why homeowners here call us
Work done carefully, at a price we will stand behind.
The standard is the same on either side of Rinaldi Street, and the slope work up north is planned in rather than added on.
Questions
Answered before you call.
How much does a fence cost per linear foot in Granada Hills?
Installed, chain link runs about $18 to $40 per linear foot, wood $30 to $60, vinyl $40 to $70, and wrought iron $50 to $120. A 150 foot run of six foot wood privacy fence generally lands between $4,500 and $9,000, before any slope footing work on the foothill lots north of Rinaldi.
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Granada Hills?
At or below the allowed height, a standard residential fence usually needs no City of Los Angeles building permit. Retaining walls, fences over six feet, and work in the public right of way generally do, and all of those go through LADBS. In Knollwood Country Club Estates, the HOA architectural review comes first, ahead of any city step.
Are your fencing crews licensed and insured?
Yes. Every fence in Granada Hills is installed by licensed, insured crews, and we hold confirmation of that standing on file before the first post goes in the ground.
Ask for your on-site estimate.
We walk the property line, read the slope and the soil, note what Knollwood review or the fire zone will ask for, and hand you a written price. Nobody chases you afterward.
