Why Local Experience Matters

Redlands homeowners and contractors face specific rules and site conditions we handle daily.

Redlands Code Compliance

The City of Redlands enforces strict fence height limits and setback rules. We know every detail: open fences in front yards max 4 feet; side and rear yards max 6 feet. Non-compliant fences face removal orders and fines.

Permit denial and rework are costly. We file applications correctly the first time.

Historic Neighborhood Sensitivity

Smiley Park and downtown Redlands neighborhoods feature 1890s–1920s turn-of-the-century homes and Victorian architecture. Fence design must respect architectural character while meeting code.

  • Wrought iron pairs naturally with period homes
  • Material selection that preserves neighborhood aesthetics
  • Professional finishing meets historic district standards

San Bernardino Mountains & Wind Exposure

North Redlands sits at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains with seasonal wind exposure. We design fence foundations and bracing to withstand local wind loads and prevent damage.

Featured Question

What's the difference between front yard and rear yard fence rules in Redlands?

Redlands zoning distinguishes front and rear yard fencing to protect sight lines and neighborhood appearance. Front yards allow open fences only—those with mesh or gaps that admit at least 90% of light—up to 4 feet tall. Rear and side yards allow solid fences up to 6 feet tall, with no such light requirement. This preserves street visibility and maintains the historic neighborhood feel Redlands is known for.

  • Front yard: open fence design, 4-foot max height
  • Rear/side yard: solid or semi-open fence, 6-foot max height
  • Exceptions require Planning Commission review

We handle all design-to-code review and permit applications so you avoid costly rework.
