San Ramon’s summer heat and rolling Valley terrain call for a fence that holds its color and its post line for years, not just one season.
PVAF fabricates vinyl and aluminum fencing racked to your slope, backed by a free on-site estimate and same-day response.


San Ramon homeowners get custom vinyl and aluminum fencing, fabricated to fit Valley lots and hillside slopes.
From Dougherty Valley cul-de-sacs to older Crow Canyon lots, panel heights, gate widths and post spacing all get measured on site, block by block, before a single number ever goes down on paper for you.
San Ramon sits in the San Ramon Valley, about 35 miles east of San Francisco, where inland summers regularly reach 90 to 105 degrees and much of the terrain rolls into hills.
Vinyl handles both without complaint: the color runs all the way through the material rather than sitting on top of it, so sustained heat does not chalk or fade a panel, and posts get racked to follow a sloped lot instead of stair-stepping down it awkwardly. Rinse it twice a year and it stays clean, no repainting required, ever, on any style.
For San Ramon we build privacy panels for lots backing onto Bishop Ranch or the Iron Horse Regional Trail, semi-privacy and picket styles for front yards along Camino Ramon and Westside Drive, ranch rail on larger Dougherty Valley parcels, pool enclosures, wall toppers for existing block walls, and gates matched to driveways of any width.
Vinyl runs in 10+ colors and styles; the aluminum line adds a powder-coated modern look in black, white and wood-grain finishes for a cleaner edge on newer builds.

Vinyl is the workhorse: it does not rot, does not need paint, and in exposed spots we build it with metal inserts hidden inside the rails, so it still looks like vinyl but takes any realistic wind this area gets, gusty afternoons included.
Aluminum is the modern tier, slats closed for privacy or open for airflow, carrying a 20-year material and 10-year coating warranty plus our own 5-year workmanship warranty layered on top of either material choice you land on.
Every quote comes down to the same factors: total footage, fence height, material choice, number of gates, whether the old fence has to come out first, and how much the lot slopes. A ballpark over the phone is fine for early planning, but a firm number takes a site visit, since Valley lots vary meaningfully from one block to the next around here, sometimes within the same street.
Every style ships with a matching gate, walk-through or driveway-wide, framed with extra support so it stays true and stays ready for an automation kit if you add one later down the road. Vinyl is an approved barrier material under California’s pool safety code, worth knowing before a backyard remodel. Small repairs and odd-shaped yards are welcome work here, not an inconvenience to route around or turn away from the schedule.
One yard needs two answers: a screen at the back that should disappear, a front line meant to sit with the house. Both materials can do either. The size of the list behind each one is not the same, and that matters more than it sounds.
Run your hand across these and the vinyl range sorts itself out: flat solids that stay quiet, wood grains with a milled face, textured blends that break up a long panel. The tone is in the material, so a scratch stays the same color.
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.
Against a newer stucco elevation black reads as trim, a grain look warms the line, and white keeps the whole run light. Those three cover the panel and slatted styles. The contoured profile carries no choice, matte black, nothing custom.
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.
The back of the lot and the front of it are two separate decisions. Behind the house you are mostly building to what the style will carry. Out front something else binds first, and it is not the fence. Settle that before you pick a number.

Sloped Valley lots and tight Bishop Ranch corners each pose their own layout puzzle. These photos show how vinyl and aluminum panels get racked, gated and finished to handle both, plus the odd-shaped yard here and there along the way, start to finish.
Incorporated on July 1, 1983, San Ramon sits within Contra Costa, in the San Ramon Valley, about 35 miles east of San Francisco. The 2020 census counted 84,605 residents across a mix of planned subdivisions and older Valley lots, giving the city a wide range of yard shapes, setbacks and fence needs from one neighborhood to the next.
Work runs from Downtown San Ramon and Bishop Ranch through Crow Canyon, Iron Horse and Dougherty Valley, along corridors like Dougherty Road, San Ramon Valley Boulevard, Camino Ramon and Westside Drive, with San Ramon Community Park, Blackhawk Regional Preserve and the Iron Horse Regional Trail nearby. Neighboring Danville, Walnut Creek, Livermore and Pleasanton all sit just beyond the city line, a short drive from most jobs.
Inland Valley summers run 90 to 105 degrees, hard on paint and stain but not on PVC, and the rolling hillside terrain across parts of San Ramon means posts and panels often have to rack to a grade rather than sit level, especially on the older lots nearer Crow Canyon and the western hills above the Valley floor.
San Ramon’s Zoning Ordinance, Division D-3, Table 3-1, caps front yard fences at 3 ft and side or rear fences at 7 ft, with a building permit required above 7 ft. Confirm current limits and any site-specific conditions directly with the City of San Ramon’s Planning Division before finalizing a design for your property.
A hillside lot in Crow Canyon and a flat cul-de-sac in Dougherty Valley call for different footings and different racking, so the estimate visit does real measuring on your ground, never a phone guess pulled from an address.
Materials, colors, heights and gate count go on paper before any post ever touches the ground on your property.
A salesman walks the slope, checks gate widths and old-fence teardown, then hands over a real number, no phone guess.
Scope, materials, colors, heights and gate count get written down before work starts, so the agreed price holds.
Posts get set, panels racked to the Valley slope, gates hung true, and the old fence hauled off site.
Vinyl carries a transferable lifetime warranty, aluminum a 20/10/2-year term, both under our 5-year workmanship.

San Ramon Fence Questions, Answered Here
San Ramon homeowners tend to ask about height limits on sloped lots, the permit threshold under the local zoning ordinance, HOA rules in newer subdivisions, and how a fence holds up through Valley summer heat and hillside grading season after season.
Still Have a Question?
Send details on your yard and a real person answers directly.
San Ramon’s Zoning Ordinance sets a building permit requirement above 7 ft, the same figure as the maximum side and rear yard height.
Front yard fences top out at 3 ft. Confirm current thresholds and any lot-specific conditions with the City of San Ramon’s Planning Division.
Front yard fences are capped at 3 ft under Division D-3, Table 3-1 of San Ramon’s Zoning Ordinance. Side and rear yard fences can go up to 7 ft. Verify the current limit for your specific lot with the Planning Division.
Many San Ramon subdivisions, including newer Dougherty Valley developments, carry HOA rules that can set stricter height and material limits than the city code.
Check your community’s CC&Rs before choosing a style or height.
Yes. Vinyl’s pigment is mixed into the PVC itself, not applied as a surface coat, so sustained 90 to 105 degree summer heat does not fade or chalk it the way it can wear paint or stain.
Twice-yearly rinsing keeps it clean.
Panels get racked to follow the grade rather than stair-stepped, which keeps the fence line looking intentional on sloped Valley lots common around Crow Canyon and the surrounding hillside areas.
Yes, from Downtown San Ramon and Bishop Ranch through Crow Canyon, Iron Horse and Dougherty Valley, and out to neighboring Danville, Walnut Creek, Livermore and Pleasanton.
