Fences serve multiple essential purposes—defining property boundaries, providing privacy from neighbors, securing yards for children and pets, and enhancing your home’s curb appeal and value.

J & P Landscapes specializes in quality fence installation throughout San Jose and Silicon Valley, working with wood, vinyl, ornamental iron, and chain link materials to create fences that meet your functional needs while complementing your property’s aesthetic.
Our approach to fence installation and outdoor structures emphasizes proper post setting, accurate measurement, and quality materials that withstand Bay Area conditions. We handle property line verification, permit applications, and coordination with utility companies for underground line marking. Whether you’re installing a classic cedar privacy fence, low-maintenance vinyl fencing, elegant ornamental iron, or practical chain link, we deliver professional installation with attention to details like gate alignment, proper drainage, and landscape integration that makes fencing look like a natural part of your property rather than an afterthought.

Why San Jose & Silicon Valley Should Choose J & P for Their Fence Installation
Proper Post Installation Prevents Future Problems
Fence failures almost always start with improperly set posts—inadequate hole depth, insufficient concrete, or posts not plumb. We dig post holes 24-36 inches deep depending on fence height and soil conditions, use proper concrete mix, and ensure every post is perfectly plumb before concrete sets. Posts are the foundation of fence longevity—getting this right means your fence stays straight and strong for 20+ years instead of leaning and sagging within 5 years like improperly installed fences.
We Navigate Bay Area Permits and Regulations
San Jose and surrounding cities have specific fence regulations regarding height limits, setback requirements, and pool fence safety codes. We’re familiar with local ordinances and handle all permit applications and inspections. We also coordinate with utility companies for underground line marking before digging, preventing costly damage to buried utilities. This professional approach ensures your fence is fully compliant and properly installed from day one.
Quality Materials and Craftsmanship
We use premium fence materials engineered for durability—rot-resistant cedar and redwood for wood fences, commercial-grade vinyl that won’t crack or fade, and powder-coated ornamental iron that resists rust. All fasteners are galvanized or stainless steel. Gates are properly braced and hung with quality hinges that won’t sag. Wood fences receive professional staining or sealing. This materials-first approach combined with expert installation ensures your fence looks beautiful and performs reliably for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fence installation costs vary by material and height. Wood privacy fences average $25-40 per linear foot installed. Vinyl fencing runs $30-50 per linear foot. Chain link costs $15-25 per linear foot. Ornamental iron ranges $40-80 per linear foot. A typical 150-foot backyard privacy fence averages $4,000-$7,000 installed. Gates add $500-$1,500 depending on size and automation.
Cedar and redwood are excellent wood choices for Bay Area—naturally rot-resistant and beautiful, though they require staining every 2-3 years. Vinyl offers maintenance-free performance but limited style options. Ornamental aluminum provides durability and elegance with minimal maintenance. Chain link is most economical for pet containment. We help you choose based on your priorities for appearance, maintenance, budget, and longevity.
Most residential fences require permits in San Jose, especially those over 6 feet tall or within front yard setbacks. Pool fences have specific code requirements for safety. We handle all permit applications and ensure compliance with local height restrictions, setback requirements, and pool fence regulations. Proper permitting protects your investment and prevents issues when selling your home.
Most residential fence installations take 2-5 days depending on linear footage and complexity. A typical 150-foot backyard fence with one gate takes 3-4 days including post setting, panel installation, and gate hanging. Concrete needs 24-48 hours to cure before attaching fence panels. Larger properties or complex terrain take longer. We provide accurate timelines during the estimate phase.
Six-foot fences provide standard privacy for most applications. Eight-foot fences offer maximum privacy but may require special permits and are typically only allowed in rear and side yards. Front yards usually have 3-4 foot height restrictions. We help you navigate local height limits while achieving your privacy goals through material choice and placement.
