Get a fence built for a Valley lot near open recreation land, private enough to close off sightlines yet styled to suit the neighborhood.
Our crew fabricates vinyl and aluminum panels in house and installs them across the Valley, with a free, no-pressure estimate.


Lake Balboa sits beside the Sepulveda Basin, so yards backing onto open recreation land often want more privacy, not less.
A backyard bordering the Basin needs a different plan than an interior lot set between two houses nearby. Height, gate width, and whether to run privacy or semi-privacy panels get settled on a walk-through, not over the phone.
Lake Balboa borders the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area, home to the lake itself, several golf courses, and sports centers that draw crowds on weekends. Yards that back onto that open land or a busy shared street tend to want full-height, tongue-and-groove vinyl privacy panels rather than an open picket style, since there is no neighboring house on the other side to soften the view.
Where the goal is airflow instead of full screening, semi-privacy vinyl or our aluminum picket line covers that instead, and every style ships with a matching gate.
The color is mixed into the vinyl itself, not applied as a surface coat, so a scrape from a mower or a stray golf ball headed the wrong way never exposes a different shade underneath, and the panels never need repainting, just a rinse twice a year.
Aluminum finishes come in powder-coated black, white, and wood-grain tones, with an ASTM E84 Class A flame and smoke rating, backed by 20-year material, 10-year coating, and 2-year steel-component warranty terms.
No price figures here, since a real number takes a visit rather than a guess. What actually sets the scope: total footage, the height you want, vinyl versus aluminum, how many gates and how wide, whether the old fence has to come out first, and how the ground slopes along the property line. A crew member walks the lot and leaves a written number the same day.
On the vinyl side, our lineup covers privacy, semi-privacy, and picket styles, ranch-style rail for open side yards, and pool-code enclosures for backyard pools near the Basin. In aluminum, we build privacy, semi-privacy, and picket panels, plus driveway and walk gates finished to match.
Wall toppers extend an existing perimeter wall upward for extra screening and height, sparing a lot that already carries a block wall facing shared recreation land from a full rebuild.

The governing rule here is Los Angeles Municipal Code 12.22 C.20(f), which sets front yard fencing at 3.5 ft and side and rear runs at 6 ft, with an allowance up to 8 ft on residential lots at least 40 ft wide on non-hillside ground once Planning signs off above the standard cap.
Vinyl stays permit-free up to 10 ft; masonry or concrete construction crosses into permit territory far sooner, at 3.5 ft. Confirm your lot’s eligibility for the taller allowance with the Los Angeles Department of City Planning before finalizing a design.
Yards that back onto the Basin get read from both sides, so the fence is on show twice. Vinyl brings the deep end of the palette. Metal holds four powder coat finishes. Settle the material and the shade follows.
From the park side a plain solid reads as one clean band, white or gray doing the work. Closer in, the wood grain family shows its milled texture, Weathered Aspen for one. Textured blends carry the deepest relief.
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.
Backlit half the day, metal shows finish before color. Flat and slatted profiles get black, white or the grain look; contoured slats stop at matte black. Dry powder and heat make that finish, which is why sun leaves it alone.

Screening open ground is a different job from screening a neighbor, which is why the spans below are grouped the way they are. Style sets a ceiling, the yard trims it, and whatever limit applies here has the last word.
| 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 |
These finished jobs sit in and near Lake Balboa: full privacy runs backing onto open land by the Basin, picket lines along quieter interior streets, both materials represented across different lots, and gates hung true and level on every single one shown here.
Lake Balboa is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley, roughly 15 miles northwest of downtown, home to about 26,889 residents.
It was carved out of the larger Van Nuys neighborhood and takes its name from the lake at the center of the Sepulveda Basin Recreation Area, which also holds several golf courses and sports centers. Neighboring communities include Van Nuys, Encino, Reseda, and Northridge, all within the same stretch of the Valley floor.
A neighborhood built around a large public recreation area has a different fencing pattern than a dense grid of houses packed tight against each other. Lots that face the Basin, a golf course, or a heavily used sports field often want a full privacy line rather than an open style, simply because there’s no house across the property line to make an open picket fence feel private.
That shapes which style gets requested most: tongue-and-groove vinyl privacy panels for a solid sightline, with semi-privacy or picket reserved for interior lots between two homes.
Fencing in Lake Balboa is governed by Los Angeles Municipal Code 12.22 C.20(f): 3.5 ft in the front yard, 6 ft at the side and rear, with an 8 ft allowance on qualifying lots at least 40 ft wide on non-hillside ground once Planning approves the increase.
A non-masonry fence, vinyl included, stays permit-free until 10 ft; masonry or concrete construction reaches that requirement far sooner, at 3.5 ft. An HOA, where one applies, can require tighter numbers than the general zoning allows, and that tighter figure governs. Verify lot eligibility for the taller allowance with the Los Angeles Department of City Planning before ordering materials.
A Lake Balboa job runs through the same four stages every time, whether it’s a full privacy line facing the Basin or a shorter interior run set between two houses closer together on a quieter street nearby in the neighborhood.
Gate count, height, color, and finish are all locked into writing before a crew ever arrives on site.
A crew member measures the lot, checks whether the 8 ft allowance applies, and leaves a real figure that same visit.
Scope, materials, colors, height, and gate placement go into writing before any ground gets broken.
Posts go in plumb, panels and gates come together true, and whatever fence stood there before leaves the same trip.
Vinyl’s coverage transfers with the home; aluminum runs its own 20/10/2 terms, both under our 5-year labor warranty.

Fencing Questions From Lake Balboa Homeowners
Homeowners near the Sepulveda Basin ask us about privacy for lots facing open recreation land, the taller 8 ft side-yard allowance, permit thresholds, and how an HOA in the neighborhood might layer stricter rules on top of the general city zoning code.
Got another question?
Message us or call, and we'll set up a walk-through on your schedule.
Yes, on qualifying lots. LAMC 12.22 C.20(f) allows up to 8 ft on side and rear runs for residential lots at least 40 ft wide on non-hillside ground, once Planning approves the increase above the standard 6 ft cap.
We can check your lot’s width against that threshold during the site visit.
A vinyl fence in Lake Balboa needs a building permit only once it passes 10 ft, per LAMC 12.22 C.20(f).
A masonry or concrete wall reaches that requirement much sooner, at 3.5 ft, so the material matters as much as the height.
No.
The same LAMC 12.22 C.20(f) standard governs the whole property, whether a yard faces a street or the Sepulveda Basin: 3.5 ft up front, 6 ft at the side and rear, with the 8 ft allowance available on qualifying wider lots facing either direction.
Many Lake Balboa lots that face the Sepulveda Basin, a golf course, or a sports field choose full tongue-and-groove vinyl privacy rather than an open style, since there’s no neighboring yard on the other side to soften an open sightline.
If your property sits within an HOA, its CC&Rs can require a stricter limit than Los Angeles Municipal Code allows, and the stricter rule applies.
Check your association’s paperwork alongside the city code before settling on a design.
A stray ball can scuff the surface, but vinyl holds its color straight through rather than as a surface coat, so a mark never shows a different shade underneath.
A twice-yearly rinse is the only upkeep it needs, no repainting required.
