Fence installation / Lynnwood, WA

Fence installation
in Lynnwood, WA.

A Lynnwood fence earns its keep twice, once as privacy from the traffic and once as posts that stand up to ground that stays wet half the year. We build cedar and vinyl to handle both, posts set in concrete. The on-site quote is free, and a person answers day or night: (206) 735-1286.

Cedar fence installation in Lynnwood, WAFree quoteCedar privacy fencing

The things that shorten a fence's life here are quiet ones: standing water you never see, headlights off 164th, and cedar as old as the split-level behind it. We plan for all three before we quote.

1
Winter water with nowhere to go

Dig a post hole here in January and it fills from the sides while you watch. A couple feet down, most yards hit hardpan, a packed layer so tight rain can't drain through, and a shallow post sits in that trapped water until the wood goes soft at the dirt line and the panel leans. We dig to solid bearing, set every post in concrete, and slope the top of the pour so water runs away from the wood.

2
Backyards on busy streets

A lot of Lynnwood backyards sit against 99, 164th, 196th, or one of the streets feeding the mall, close enough that the evening commute is part of the view. Six feet of tight-board cedar takes the headlights out of the kitchen window and takes the edge off the road noise, which is most of why people here call us in the first place. We run the boards tight, drop the height where corner sight lines require it, and keep the top line dead level so it reads calm even when the street isn't.

3
Lake lots come with a setback

Around Scriber Lake and Hall Lake, the soggy ground near the water usually carries a wetland buffer, which is a no-build strip the city keeps around its lakes and creeks, and that strip can pull the legal fence line well inside what looks like your yard. Finding that out after the posts are set is the expensive version of finding it out. We confirm the setback with the city before a single hole goes in, then build to the line we verified.

In the current market, cedar privacy runs $35 to $60 a linear foot installed, vinyl $45 to $70, and a walk gate $400 to $900. Those are market ranges, not a bid; slope, gate count, and tear-out are what push a job up or down inside them. The full breakdown with a worked example is in what a fence costs in Snohomish County. The written quote you get after we walk your line is the number we bill against, and only a change order you sign can move it.

Before you ask

What does a fence cost in Lynnwood?

Cedar privacy runs $35 to $60 a linear foot installed in the current market, vinyl $45 to $70, a walk gate $400 to $900, and tear-out of the old fence adds $3 to $5 a foot. Those are county market ranges, useful for budgeting and nothing else. Your real number comes off the written quote after we've walked the line, and it moves only if you sign a change order.

Why do fence posts lean in Lynnwood?

Not frost heave; ground this close to the Sound rarely freezes deep enough to matter. It's water. The soil under most yards here stops draining a couple feet down, the post hole stays wet from October into spring, and a shallow post rots where wood meets dirt until the whole run leans. Set deep in concrete, below the layer that traps the water, a post stays where we put it.

Do I need a fence permit in Lynnwood?

Most back and side fences under six feet don't need one. Corner lots have sight-line rules, and anything taller can need a permit through the city's Development and Business Services counter at City Hall on 44th Ave W. When one applies, we file it as part of the job and the fee shows up on the quote instead of surprising you later.

Can I fence a yard that backs onto Scriber Lake or Hall Lake?

Usually, yes. The protected strip around both lakes can push the buildable line back from where the mowed grass ends, so we check the setback with the city before we write the quote. That way the line we price is a line you're allowed to build, and the checking costs you nothing.

The ground and the permit desk change every few exits up I-5. Pick a town to see what we build for there.

Day or night, we pick up
A builder picks up at any hour and can usually tell from your description whether you've got one rotted post or a fence at the end of its run.

Tell us where the line runs and what you want it to do. A photo from your phone is usually enough to get the quote started, and the person who reads it sets posts for a living.
