What Are Fence Installation Costs and Pricing In Los Angeles?
This is the question everyone is dying to know. The real answer is, it all depends. Depending on the kind of material you use, the height and length of your fence or gate project, the terrain and who you hire. Building a fence can cost more than you think. Geoff Williams, a contributor to U.S. News suggests fencing project on average can cost as high as $20,000. But before you have a heart attack let’s remember that pricing varies nationwide.

In Los Angeles, costs tend to be higher per linear footage due to cost of living. However lot sizes are typically smaller than in most rural areas and have less linear footage to cover. So it’s safe to say pricing pricing can fluctuate.

*Pricing may vary based on project specifics such as material, project scope, and terrain. 
$20.00 - $35.00 (PER LINEAR FOOT)
Chain link is an affordable and durable fence material often used for parking lots, dog kennels, and commercial facilities. Chain link offers a high level of security and is often times used for security fencing. Keep in mind, chain link fencing in Los Angeles comes in different forms. Galvanized and Vinyl Coated are the two most common. There are other add ons, such as barbed wire, privacy slats and windscreens that can increase the overall price.
$40.00 - $65.00 (PER LINEAR FOOT)
Wood fences also come in many styles, patterns and designs that can determine the price of your project. Horizontal fencing is very popular and comes with a higher price tag due to the extra time and labor it takes to install, while vertical wood fencing may take less time to install and have a lower overall price.
$40.00 - $65.00 (PER LINEAR FOOT)
Not all vinyl fencing is created equal. Be sure to ask for the manufacture of the Vinyl prior to installation. Also see if your installer has any warrantee for your vinyl fence installation. Vinyl has a way of looking all the same so be sure to do your homework prior to having it installed.
$45.00 - $60.00 (PER LINEAR FOOT)

What Are Fence Installation Costs and Pricing In Los Angeles?
Are you considering installing a fence around your home or business in Los Angeles? There are a number of reasons why property owners choose to invest in a fence. From added curb appeal and increased property value to safety, there are several purposes residential and commercial fencing can fulfill. So, is investing in a fence a wise financial decision?

Robert Frost, the renowned New England poet, was way ahead of his time when wrote one of the most famous lines in American Literature, "Good fences make good neighbors." It is true that installing a fence around your home or business can certainly help, especially if you have neighbors on one or more sides of your property. The following are some of the reasons that can help prove the case for investing in fencing around your property.

FENCES SETS CLEAR BOUNDARIES
As soon as a fence is installed, there is no longer a question of where the property line exists. This is extremely important because as time goes by, neighboring properties may change hands. However, having a fence that is already installed will only help to make any communication you have with your neighbors friendlier and less contentious. For example, it will be clear to neighbors on either side of the fence who is responsible for pruning the shrubs and who is responsible for mowing the grass. By not leaving any vegetation in the 'gray' area, you will be able to maintain your landscape and your neighbor will be able to do the same.
FENCES ADD CHILD AND PET SAFETY
Perhaps one of the most important reasons property owners should factor when considering whether or not to invest in a fence is the safety of the children and pets on the property. Although parents want their children to enjoy and explore the outdoors, this activity can become very dangerous if a fence is not installed. Having this additional security feature can place a parent's mind at ease. Fencing will help keep them confined to your yard, and prevent them from wandering the neighborhood and possibly being involved in an unfortunate incident. In fact, fencing is almost a necessity if your children and pets enjoy spending time outside and your home is located close to a road. Unfortunately, they can easily wander into the road and get hit by a vehicle or worse. If you have an aggressive breed of dog, a fence will ensure it can play outside without potentially attacking a passerby. You can place signs around your fence to warn others about your dog.

FENCES ADD BEAUTY AND AESTHETICS
Depending on the style and type of fence you install, it can also become a decorative piece for your landscape. Some fencing types can add a stately formality to a property, or they can help to define the theme of the landscape. For example, a white picket fence would add a touch of rustic charm to a traditional country style home. Or, you can install a bamboo fence to complement an Oriental rock garden or a Japanese tea garden. Also, wrought iron, stone and wood can add a beautiful dimension to any kind of landscape.

FENCES ADD PRIVACY TO YOUR HOME
Of course keeping your children and pets safe and defining property lines are not the only reasons why installing a fence is a good investment. You not only want to clearly define the property line, you also want to prevent your neighbors from taking a peek of what you are doing in your yard. For example, if you enjoy sunbathing or you want to host a summer barbecue or birthday party, a solid board fence will keep prying eyes from knowing what you are doing if that is important to you. So, if your neighbor begins to make comments about the flowers in your garden, or how you have allowed weeds to take over your vegetable garden, you may want to consider installing a privacy fence.
FENCING FOR POOL AND POND SAFETY
If you have a water feature on your property like a pool or garden pond, fencing is a must to increase your safety. During the summer, it is common for children to roam their neighborhoods looking for something to do. You would not want your pool or koi pond to appear inviting to young children who are looking for a way to keep cool from the heat. Los Angeles jurisdiction require homeowners to fence in their swimming pools, and most homeowner's insurance policies offer discounts to pool owners who are proactive and install a fence.

Safety will also be a concern if your garden contains poisonous plants such as:

• Oleander
• Foxglove
• Castor bean plant

If you do have these types of plants in your garden, keeping children and stray pets out must be a top priority.
INCREASE YOUR PROPERTY'S VALUE BY INSTALLING A FENCE
As previously stated, making an investment by installing a fence can potentially yield you a high return whenever you decide to sell your home. Homebuyers will appreciate a property that already has a durable safety and privacy fence installed. However, you will need to be aware that the type of fence you choose will be instrumental in determining not only the resell value of the home, but also the number of homebuyers that are interested in it. For example, a chain-link fence does not offer much in the way of privacy or security, and they are considered outdated by many new homebuyers. They are not the best option for securing a property. On the other hand, bamboo fencing should not be used in cooler climates because they are more susceptible to rot. With that being said, before you begin the process of installing a fence, you will need to carefully think about why you need to install the fence. You should also be aware of the type of property you want to fence. If you want to install fencing on farm land, you would need to use farm fence and not chain-link or wooden fence. A chain-link fence will not offer any protection, and a wooden fence will be expensive to maintain over time.

If you are looking to protect your home while adding privacy, installing a fence is very good investment. Even if you do not have a particular reason, installing a fence will simply make your property look good. The right type of fencing can frame your yard the same way a frame surrounds a painting. The fence will help accentuate the best features of your lawn and home.
