Fence Installation & Repair services in Alum Rock
The first thing to settle in Alum Rock is whose rules apply. Some blocks on the east side are inside the City of San Jose, and others are unincorporated pockets under the County of Santa Clara, sometimes on the same street. The office and the height limits change with that line. The housing is older and close together on the valley floor, with many front yards enclosed by chain link or ornamental iron and a driveway gate. Those gates and their posts are a large share of our repair calls. Toward the east the streets rise into the foothills below Alum Rock Park, where lots get steeper, grass dries out by early summer, and fences have to step or rack with the hill.

Permits and local rules
For unincorporated parcels, the County of Santa Clara sets fence and hedge heights in Section 4.20.050 of its Zoning Ordinance, and its Department of Planning and Development publishes a fence height standards table beside the ordinance. We could not open the table to quote it. Parcels inside San Jose follow Chapter 20.30, Part 6 of the city's Municipal Code instead. We look up which one covers your address and confirm the limit with that office before we quote.
