Fence planning in Sunnyvale starts with more than choosing a style. The location of the fence, the property’s size, the yard it serves, and the applicable Town requirements can all affect the final design. Rockwall Outdoor Living provides fencing and related gate services for residential, commercial, pool, and larger-property applications in Sunnyvale. From backyard privacy and property boundaries to driveway gates and perimeter fencing, we plan the project around the property rather than treating every installation as the same.

Sunnyvale's fence standards are part of the Town's Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), which establishes different requirements depending on the property and location of the fence. The current UDO includes separate standards for residential and nonresidential properties and addresses fence height, location, design, visibility, and materials. For residential properties, the current standards distinguish between front, side, and rear yards. They also treat lots of less than one acre differently from lots of one acre or more, while front-yard fences are subject to visibility requirements. Material selection matters as well. The current UDO prohibits certain materials and places additional restrictions on fencing such as chain link and barbed or electric fencing depending on the property and use. That means a Sunnyvale fence project should be planned around the actual property. Before installation, it's useful to know where the fence will sit, whether the property has relevant easements or other constraints, which yard the fence will occupy, and what material and height are being considered. Sunnyvale also maintains an interactive zoning map and planning resources for property development.
Whether you’re working on a residential fence, a larger property boundary, or an entry gate, the service should match the way the property is used.
