Fence Installation & Repair services in Turlock
What sets Turlock apart for a fence builder is the ground. Much of the city sits on sandy loam, looser than the clay and hardpan found around Modesto. Sand drains well, which is kind to wood posts, but it grips a footing less tightly, so tall privacy fences and gate posts need more depth and more concrete here. Turlock is the second largest city in Stanislaus County and has a bit of everything: older homes near downtown with low front fences, a university district around Stanislaus State with many rentals, and large newer subdivisions to the north and east with long shared fence lines. Dairies, poultry farms and orchards ring the town, so we also get calls for chain link, farm gates and fencing around shops and yards. Summer afternoons are hot and dry, and unsealed boards crack quickly.

Permits and local rules
Turlock's fence page gives 7 feet as the maximum height of a fence or wall on residential property and says no building permit is needed for one that is not over 6 feet. In setback areas the limit is 3 feet, or in some cases 4 feet if you can see through the fence. Corner lots have their own rule, so the Planning Division should confirm the setback for your lot.
