"We got bids from four contractors and went with Fence 4 U and are happy we did. Guillermo was awesome. He was friendly, reasonably priced, knowledgeable, on time and did great work quickly. Will definitely hire Fence 4 U for the side fence we'll replace next."

"Dreamers is amazing! They helped us with a big backyard update. They built a paver patio with a pergola, a beautiful large wooden planter box with fruit trees, a box to cover our hvac system, vines along our fences. They’re friendly, professional, and responsive. We’re planning on having them do our front yard next year. If you’re look for a good landscaper, go with Dreamers."

"The crew did an outstanding job installing the fence around our one acre lot during bad weather. Not only does it look great but it looks better than we thought it would and our neighbors agree too. The young crew was always on time, very professional, and always plesant and courteous. I was almost sorry to see them go."

"Job started on a Friday and extended into Monday due to difficulty of digging fence posts in rocky terrain. In addition, the gate ordered for the front was the wrong color. Later in the day, a new gate was fabricated and delivered but it was the wrong size. Unfortunately the job was not completed until Monday which meant we had no gate to secure our property over the weekend. Our job supervisor and his entire team were kind and professional. Would recommend even though there were some disappointing issues. No contractor is perfect every day."

"We needed a fence and were prepared to pay what it would cost but wanted to know our options first. When two local fence contractors showed up the same week I called for estimates; they ignored my inquiries after receiving their quotes - it left me extremely frustrated. That is when I found HomeAdvisor. I submitted my request to the first referral "Wild Sage Landscaping" and was given a quote and installation in two days. They were polite and listened to my concerns and appreciated I was upfront with our budget for the project. I now have a wonderful network to go to for more home projects: Screens, window repairs, ceiling repairs. I will recommend them to my neighbors and anyone else looking for kind honest and upfront quality work. I also believe in supporting our community and keeping services local. Which is why I was so disappointed when FF & VF ignored me as a professional women/consumer."

"Gary, the owner of GK Painting, did a fantastic job repainting and staining all of the exterior trim on my home in Hermosa Beach. He was the first Angie’s List contractor to call me back and met with me later that day to take a look at the job. His proposal was fair and fast, he started the work less than a week later and completed it ahead of schedule. The environment is **** ** wood trim by the beach and Gary and his super polite workers did an excellent job prepping the wood, first power washing it and then taking the time to sand it properly. It looks incredible and we are looking forward to it lasting because of the high quality products Gary used. Gary was friendly and easy to work with and his workers cleaned up inside and out when they were finished. Stellar job!"

Fencing questions, answered by experts

Before requesting fencing services in Santa Barbara, document your property boundaries using a recent survey, and note any visible utility markers or irrigation lines. Record soil type and slope, especially if your lot is uneven or near a bluff. Gather HOA rules, neighborhood design guidelines, and any special district restrictions. Take photos of existing landscaping, wind exposure, and any mature or protected trees that may affect fence installation.

Helpful?

Santa Barbara homeowners often prefer horizontal wood slat fences made from redwood or cedar for a contemporary style, while Spanish-inspired wrought iron remains popular in historic neighborhoods. Integrated lighting, custom gates, and living green walls are trending features. Many opt for earth-tone stains and finishes that complement the coastal landscape, and some choose recycled materials for eco-friendly fence installation that blends with local scenery.

Helpful?

Common habits that reduce fence longevity in Santa Barbara include allowing sprinklers to spray directly on wood or metal, leading to moisture damage. Letting climbing plants grow unchecked can trap moisture and cause decay. Failing to rinse off salt residue on coastal fences accelerates corrosion. Ignoring seasonal cleaning or skipping quick repairs after windstorms can also lead to premature wear and costly fence repairs.

Helpful?

For fencing projects in Santa Barbara, knowing your property’s slope, drainage patterns, and soil stability is essential, especially near hillsides. Document sun and wind exposure, proximity to salt air, and the presence of mature landscaping. Understanding neighborhood character and any special zoning or historic district rules will help guide design choices. Mapping underground utilities and irrigation lines ensures safe, efficient fence installation tailored to your property’s unique features.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Santa Barbara often balance the desire for privacy with local height limits, which can restrict taller fence designs. Choosing low-maintenance composite materials may mean sacrificing the natural look of wood. Opting for fire-resistant or wind-durable fencing can limit style options. Some materials weather beautifully but require more upkeep, so decisions often weigh long-term maintenance against initial curb appeal and neighborhood fit.
