New fence installation in Ridgefield, WA

Ridgefield is on our Washington service list, north of the Vancouver base we publish. A new fence there follows the same sequence we use everywhere: confirm the line, locate utilities, set posts, then build.

Grade is the part that changes the look. Stepped cedar panels are how we run a fence between homes when the ground is not flat. The stepped townhome photo is not labeled Ridgefield. It is an example of that build, not a claim about a Ridgefield address.

Washington license WOODML*796QR covers the work. Oregon’s CCB number does not. If a Ridgefield permit applies, we deal with Ridgefield’s process, not Portland’s.

Before we dig

Have the survey if the pins are not obvious. We will not guess a property line.

Tell us about gates on day one: a walk gate is simple, a driveway gate with a steel frame is a different structure, and we have built those.

If the fence shares a line with a neighbor, talk to them before we arrive. Washington treats a fence on the line as something neighbors usually share. The wetlands and fence-law post on the blog is the longer version of that, and it is general, not a Ridgefield ordinance.
