San Leandro lots range from tight East 14th Street parcels to wider yards near the Marina, each fitted with a vinyl or aluminum fence racked to grade.
Licensed since 2018 and building both material lines in house, we answer every San Leandro inquiry the same business day.


San Leandro homeowners choose from vinyl privacy, picket and ranch rail styles, plus a modern aluminum line, all fabricated locally.
Front yards here carry the tightest cap of any nearby city at 3 ft, so what fits a Hayward or Oakland lot next door often needs a different plan on a San Leandro corner. We size each design to the actual parcel and its zone.
For San Leandro yards we build vinyl privacy, semi-privacy, picket and ranch rail fencing, along with pool enclosures sized to the state’s barrier code. The aluminum line offers a modern privacy or picket option with matching walk and driveway gates; the coating comes in black, white, or a wood-grain tone.
Every style leaves the shop ready for an automation kit later, though the motor itself is not ours to supply. Two-tone vinyl combinations and lattice-top accents are on the table too.
San Leandro caps front yard fences at 3 ft, the lowest limit of any nearby city, under Zoning Code Article 16, Section 4-1682. Side and rear fences can run up to 7 ft, and most fences kept within that 7 ft rear yard setback do not need a building permit at all.
Fences that step above 7 ft anywhere on the lot, or sit outside that rear setback, may need separate permits or design review. Sight distance rules tighten on corner lots and vary by zone, so a fence near an intersection on Bancroft Avenue or East 14th Street should confirm its exact allowance with the Planning Division first.
San Leandro sits on the East Bay shoreline near the Marina and Oyster Bay Regional Preserve, and that proximity brings salt air to yards closest to the water. Vinyl resists it without any extra upkeep beyond a seasonal rinse. Our aluminum line holds up as well, though its coating warranty excludes direct saltwater exposure, so we lean vinyl for the properties nearest the shoreline and keep aluminum for streets further inland.
Footage, height, material, gate count and any grading or slope work make up most of a San Leandro quote, along with whether an old fence needs removal first. A short Fairview side yard runs differently than a wide driveway gate near Ashland. A free, on-site visit measures the actual run and hands over one firm number, no pressure attached.

San Leandro incorporated back in 1872, one of the older East Bay cities, and its lot patterns still show it: tighter parcels around Downtown San Leandro and Fairview, wider yards toward San Leandro Heights and Ashland. Streets off Davis Street and San Leandro Boulevard see more East Bay wind than yards tucked further from the water, which factors into whether we recommend metal inserts inside a vinyl run.
The gates take the same color as the run they hang in, so that part is settled the moment you choose. What is left is which material carries the boundary, and that is what decides how much choosing you actually end up doing.
A picket shows you edges and air; a solid privacy panel shows one uninterrupted face. The same fourteen colors cover both, grouped three ways by surface: plain solids, smooth grains, textured blends. What changes is how much color you see.
Pro Vinyl and Aluminum Fencing partners with Catalyst, one of the leading vinyl fence manufacturers in the United States. Their US-made vinyl, our custom fabrication and installation, backed by a transferable limited lifetime material warranty.
Whatever the run wears, the walk gate and the driveway gate wear it too. Black, a wood grain and white are the options on privacy and picket profiles; contoured slats stay matte black. Four in all, powder coat, heat treated onto the metal.
Pro Vinyl and Aluminum Fencing is a trained and authorized SLEEKFENCE™ contractor. SLEEKFENCE™ is a premium-class aluminum fencing brand registered in the USA – their engineered material, our custom fabrication and welded install, with a 20-year material warranty behind it.
A ranch rail line and a full privacy screen are doing opposite jobs, and the height follows the job. Add a pool and code joins the conversation. Grade does too, wherever the ground drops away. Style ranges are the outer edge of all of it.
| Fence style | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl privacy | 4 ft | 8 ft |
| Vinyl privacy w/Accent top | 5 ft | 8 ft |
| Vinyl picket | 3.5 ft | 6 ft |
| Vinyl wall topper | 2 ft | 3 ft |
| Aluminum privacy | 4 ft | 12 ft |
| Aluminum semi-privacy | 4 ft | 12 ft |
| Aluminum privacy hybrid | 4 ft | 12 ft |
| Aluminum wall topper | 2 ft | 4 ft |
East 14th Street storefronts, Marina view lots and Fairview backyards all appear in this set: vinyl picket runs, ranch rail along wider parcels and aluminum gates finished in black or wood grain, each built to the height that lot actually allows.
San Leandro became a city in 1872, making it one of the older incorporated cities in the East Bay, and now holds about 90,700 residents, roughly 30 miles south of San Francisco. Hayward, Oakland, Alameda, Piedmont and Fremont all border the city, and its own neighborhoods, Downtown San Leandro, the Marina area, Ashland, Fairview and San Leandro Heights, each carry a distinct lot pattern.
The San Leandro Marina and the nearby Oyster Bay Regional Preserve sit right on the bay, and homes closest to that shoreline take on more salt air and wind than lots further inland toward Garretson Ridge. Vinyl fencing shrugs off the salt without extra maintenance beyond a twice yearly rinse, and metal inserts inside the rails add wind strength where the exposure runs highest.
Corridors like East 14th Street, Davis Street, Bancroft Avenue and San Leandro Boulevard cut through neighborhoods with noticeably different lot widths, tighter near downtown and wider out toward the Marina and Ashland. [NEEDS-DATA: fire zone and hillside specifics for San Leandro not in facts pack] That range is part of why a template fence plan rarely fits every San Leandro address the same way.
Front yard fences top out at 3 ft under Zoning Code Article 16, Section 4-1682, the tightest cap of any city nearby, while side and rear fences can reach 7 ft. Most fences that stay within that 7 ft rear yard setback skip the building permit step entirely, though sight distance rules on corner lots vary by zone.
A quick check with San Leandro’s Planning and Building divisions settles the exact number for any specific address, and any HOA on the block may run its own cap tighter still.
Four confirmed stages carry a San Leandro fence from first visit to finished job: the walkthrough, the written scope, the build itself, and the warranty handoff once the crew clears out. Each stage waits on your sign off first.
A short phone call or a quick message gets a crew out to your San Leandro property within the week.
A crew walks your San Leandro lot, checks the grade and confirms gate widths before any number gets set down.
Materials, colors, heights and the timeline all go into one signed document before the crew ever shows up to build.
Posts get set, panels racked true, gates hung, and the old fence hauled off the same day the crew arrives.
Vinyl’s lifetime coverage and aluminum’s 20 year terms both pair with our own 5 year labor guarantee at handoff.

San Leandro caps front yard fences at 3 ft under Zoning Code Article 16, Section 4-1682, the lowest limit of any nearby city.
Side and rear fences can reach 7 ft. Confirm your exact zone and setback with the Planning Division before finalizing a design.
Fences that stay within the 7 ft rear yard setback generally do not require a building permit.
Fences above 7 ft, or placed elsewhere on the lot, may need permits or approvals. Confirm current requirements with the Building and Safety Division before work is scheduled.
Our aluminum line’s coating warranty excludes direct saltwater exposure, which matters for lots close to the Marina or Oyster Bay Regional Preserve.
Vinyl handles that exposure without extra upkeep beyond a seasonal rinse, so we typically recommend it closest to the shoreline.
Side and rear fences can reach 7 ft under the city’s zoning code.
Sight distance rules on corner lots vary by zone and may reduce that allowance near an intersection, so a corner property is worth confirming locally before a final design.
City code sets the baseline, not the ceiling. A San Leandro property inside a homeowners association may face a lower height cap or added design rules under its CC&Rs than the municipal code alone requires.
Check both sets of rules before finalizing a plan.
We build in Downtown San Leandro, the Marina area, Ashland, Fairview and San Leandro Heights, along with nearby streets toward Hayward, Oakland, Alameda and Fremont.
Wind and salt exposure vary enough across these areas that material choice is set per lot.
