Fencing in Hidden Hills, California
The white three-rail fence that defines Hidden Hills, and crews cleared to build it.
Ranch rail, wood, vinyl, iron, and automatic gates, set by licensed, insured crews. Every design goes to the HCA Architectural Committee first, and every number is quoted by the linear foot before a post goes in the ground.
Someone picks up, and the visit costs nothing.

Hidden Hills fencing, up close
We build for the one look this city keeps.
Hidden Hills was laid out in the 1950s as a rustic ranch retreat, and it has held that character on purpose. There are no sidewalks and no streetlights, the lots run an acre and more, and one detail ties the whole city together: the white three-rail ranch fence. It lines the frontages, turns the corners with matching white gates, and often carries no-climb horse wire on the back face so a paddock stays a paddock. When we quote a frontage here, we are matching a citywide standard, not inventing one, and the paint line, the rail spacing, and the post caps all have to read as part of it.
The second thing that shapes every job is the review. The Hidden Hills Community Association runs an Architectural Committee that looks at every fence before the City issues a permit, weighing material, height, massing, and how the line sits against the horse-trail easements that thread between properties. It is among the strictest reviews in California, and it is not a formality: timelines commonly run eight to sixteen weeks, longer for a design that steps outside the norm. We draw the submittal to what the Committee approves and put that time on the calendar, so the fence is not waiting on paper after the posts arrive.
Then there is getting in. Hidden Hills is guard-gated around the clock, so every crew and every load is cleared at a manned gate against your guest list before it reaches the lot. Equestrian zoning is citywide, which means corrals, arenas, and no-climb wire behind the rail are routine rather than special requests. Out at the back of an acre, on paddock perimeters and rear property lines, chain link does that working job for less. It stays behind the house, well away from the white rail the street sees. And because the hills carry Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, we keep non-combustible material, iron or masonry, close to the house even where the rustic rail rules the frontage.
And the height rule here is unlike anywhere nearby: the city code sets no perimeter fence height at all, leaving it to the Architectural Committee.
Pricing
What an estate perimeter runs.
Installed ranges by the linear foot, as they actually come out. The written estimate is cut to your frontage, your grade, and your material.
| Fence type | Installed / linear ft | Typical 300 ft frontage |
|---|---|---|
| Ranch rail (3-rail) | $18 to $38 | $5,400 to $11,400 |
| Chain link | $18 to $40 | $5,400 to $12,000 |
| Wood privacy | $30 to $60 | $9,000 to $18,000 |
| Vinyl / PVC | $40 to $70 | $12,000 to $21,000 |
| Wrought iron | $50 to $120 | $15,000 to $36,000 |
Posts, rail or panels, hardware, and labor sit inside those ranges. No-climb horse wire behind the rail, hillside footings, HCA-approved detailing, and estate gates push toward the upper figure. Financing is available.
Where a run lands inside those bands comes down to the frontage, the grade, and the trail easement, which is what the walk is for.
Questions
What the Committee gets asked about fences.
How much does a fence cost per linear foot in Hidden Hills?
White three-rail ranch fence comes to about $18 to $38 per linear foot installed. Wood is $30 to $60, vinyl $40 to $70, wrought iron $50 to $120. Across a 300 foot frontage on a Long Valley lot, the rail generally lands between $5,400 and $11,400, before you add HCA lead time, no-climb wire, or estate gates.
Does every fence in Hidden Hills need HCA approval?
Yes. The Hidden Hills Community Association Architectural Committee reviews every fence, its material, height, massing, and setback from the trail easements, before the City of Hidden Hills issues a permit. It is among the strictest reviews in California and commonly runs eight to sixteen weeks, so we build that time into the schedule.
Are your fencing crews licensed and insured?
Yes. Licensed, insured crews install every fence, and each crew and vehicle clears the manned gate against your guest list before the first day on site. That standing is confirmed in our files before work begins.

We walk the frontage, read the grade and the trail easement, note what the Committee will ask for, and leave a written price behind. Nothing follows unless you want it to.
