Davis fences come in two generations. The neighborhoods built from the 1950s through the 1970s, Old East Davis, Central Davis, the streets around the college, have redwood fences that were replaced once already and are coming due again, on lots where a mature tree has grown into the line and the posts have leaned with the clay. The 1990s and 2000s subdivisions in Mace Ranch, Wildhorse and the north side of Covell Boulevard went up with builder-grade dog-ear fences on the same day as the houses, and those fences are now twenty to thirty years old and failing in whole runs, which is why so many Davis quotes are for a full replacement shared with one or two neighbors.
Davis also has more rentals than any town in the county. A landlord with three or four houses near campus wants a fence that students cannot break and that needs nothing for a decade, which is usually six foot chain link with black vinyl coating on the side yards and a plain redwood fence on the street side where the look matters. Property managers in Davis book repairs between tenants and replacements over the summer turnover, and the contractors in this network are used to working from a key in a lockbox with the manager on the phone.
Two Davis-specific things shape every quote. Many back yards border a city greenbelt or bike path, and the city has rules about fences along those paths, so a contractor who works in Davis checks before quoting a taller fence on a greenbelt line. And Davis protects its trees: a fence line that runs under a large tree or a street tree gets routed around the roots and the posts moved, not the tree cut, and the city’s tree rules apply to removals even on private property.

Davis Fence FAQs
Can I build a taller fence along the greenbelt behind my Davis house?
Sometimes, within the city’s rules for fences that face a greenbelt or bike path, which are not the same as the rules for a side yard. A contractor who works in Davis every week knows the current limits and quotes inside them, and tells you when a permit would be needed.
Do student rentals in Davis need a different fence?
Usually a tougher one. Landlords near campus tend toward vinyl-coated chain link on the side yards and a redwood fence only where it is seen from the street, with lockable gates. The contractor can quote both ways.
How do I split a fence replacement with my Davis neighbors?
Get one quote for the whole shared run with each side priced separately, give the neighbors written notice with the quote attached, and allow 30 days. That follows California’s Good Neighbor Fence law, which presumes an equal split. See the fence law page.
How soon can a contractor get to Davis?
Quote visits are typically within a few days, and Davis is ten minutes from Woodland so it is in the regular rotation. Build dates run one to four weeks depending on the season, with summer the busiest because of rental turnover.
