Old Fig Garden sits under a heavy canopy of mature valley oak, ash, and sycamore trees that define the neighborhood's character and shade its stucco bungalows. Those same trees, beautiful as they are, create real challenges when it comes to fencing: root flares run deep, slopes vary sharply between lots, and the soil swings between wet and dry with the seasons, working posts loose over time.

Fresno Fence Company has been installing and repairing fences in Old Fig Garden and surrounding Fresno neighborhoods since 2013. We know this terrain. We know that a fence line here usually has to work around old root systems, that stepped versus racked installation is decided lot by lot, and that the dry summers and wet winters mean concrete footing specs matter. When homeowners in 93704 need a fence that will stand, they call us.

Fencing in Old Fig Garden (93704)

Old Fig Garden's single-family lots sit on ground where slope, drainage, and wind exposure change sharply over short distances. Valley oak, ash, and sycamore root flares mean post holes often have to be dug around established root systems, and the heavy canopy keeps soil damp longer in winter and exposed to intense UV in summer. The soil itself works: it shrinks in the dry season and swells when winter rains come, which works a post loose over years if it is not set correctly in the first place.

We have been serving Old Fig Garden and the greater Fresno area since 2013. Our team handles wood and vinyl privacy fence, chain link, ornamental metal, gates, and automatic driveway gates. We work with homeowners and property managers to install fences that fit the lot, meet local code, and last. We are fully insured, with general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and we hold membership in the American Fence Association.

How a Fence Job Works in Old Fig Garden

We start with a free on-site assessment. We walk your property, look at the soil, the slope, the trees, any existing utilities, and what your Old Fig Garden lot actually demands. We talk through your goals, show you options, and give you a clear estimate. Before any digging happens, California law requires a utility locate call to 811, and we handle that.

The installation itself is tailored to your lot. On sloped ground, we decide whether to rack the fence (panels follow the slope) or step it (panels stay level, with a gap at grade). Post spacing, concrete depth, and footing method all depend on soil conditions, wind exposure, and what the fence will carry. If you have an HOA or deed restrictions, we work within those rules. We coordinate with your HOA if approval is required.

When the work is done, we clean up. You get a fence that fits your property and is built to last through Old Fig Garden's wet winters and dry summers.

Pricing depends on what you need. Wood and privacy fence typically runs from $26 per linear foot; vinyl from $36 per foot; chain link from $15 per foot; ornamental metal from $40 per foot. A gate installation starts at $450, and automatic or driveway gates from $2,700. Repairs start at $425 for post work or gate service, and storm damage assessments are free. The real cost drivers are lot conditions: soil type, slope, tree interference, access for equipment, and whether you need stepped or racked installation. Call us at (559) 795-3955 for a free estimate. We will give you honest numbers based on what your property actually requires.

Why do fence posts come loose in Old Fig Garden even when they were set in concrete?

Old Fig Garden's soil swings between wet and dry with the seasons. Winter rains saturate the ground, and summer heat dries it hard. That expansion and contraction works a post loose over years, especially if the original footing was shallow or the concrete did not go deep enough. We set posts below the frost line and use concrete footing specs that account for Old Fig Garden's climate. If a post has already worked loose, we can replace just that post and reset it correctly, which is usually cheaper than replacing the whole fence.

How do we install a fence around the big oak and sycamore trees in Old Fig Garden?

We work around them. Valley oak and sycamore root flares in Old Fig Garden can be massive, and we do not cut them. We dig post holes carefully to avoid major roots, sometimes offset the fence line slightly to clear the flare, or use a shorter post spacing to work around the tree. On steep lots, we often step the fence to fit the slope and the trees together. This takes more time than a straight installation, but it protects the tree and gives you a fence that actually fits your property.

What is the difference between racked and stepped fence installation, and which does Old Fig Garden need?

Racked fence follows the slope: the panels tilt with the ground, and there is no gap at grade. Stepped fence stays level: the panels are horizontal, with a vertical step down to grade as the slope drops. Old Fig Garden lots vary widely in slope. A gentle slope usually racks fine. A steep slope usually steps better, because racking too far looks wrong and stresses the frame. We assess your lot and recommend what works. On board-on-board or privacy fence, the choice affects how water drains and how the fence looks. We will show you both options.

Does Old Fig Garden require a fence permit?

Permit rules vary across Fresno County. Old Fig Garden may fall under city or county jurisdiction, and the rules are different. We check with the local building department for your specific address. Permits usually govern height (typically 6 feet in residential areas), setback from the property line (usually 2 to 5 feet from the front), and materials. If you have an HOA, deed restrictions often add their own rules on height, color, and material. We verify all of that before we start. Call us at (559) 795-3955 and we will confirm what applies to your lot.

What if a neighbor's oak or ash branch hangs over my fence line in Old Fig Garden?

That is a property line issue, not a fence issue. In California, you can trim branches that cross into your property, but you cannot go onto the neighbor's land or remove the tree. If the branch is heavy or threatens your fence, you can trim it back to the property line. If the tree itself is close to your fence, talk to your neighbor first. If there is a dispute, a licensed land surveyor can determine the exact property line. We work from your existing survey and install on the line you identify. The neighbor question is separate.

Are your crews fully insured for fence work in Old Fig Garden?

Yes. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. California requires a C-13 Fencing Contractor license for fence work once a project reaches $1,000 in combined labor and materials or requires a building permit. That licensing requirement is set by California law. We are members of the American Fence Association.

What should I do to prepare my fence for Old Fig Garden's winter storms?

Winter winds in the Fresno area can be strong, and saturated soil from rain weakens post footing. Before storm season, walk your fence line and look for posts that lean, rails that sag, or pickets that are split or rotted. A leaning post or sagging rail should be repaired or braced before the wind hits. If a post is rotted at the ground line (moisture damage from years of wet soil), replacing that post now is cheaper than waiting for the storm to bring the whole section down. We offer free storm damage assessments. Call (559) 795-3955 if you see a problem.
