Fencing in Prune Hill

Prune Hill is the cinder cone of an extinct volcano, planted with prune orchards back in the 1880s and now covered with homes built to face Mount Hood and the Columbia. When you own a view like that, the wrong fence is expensive twice: once to build, and again in what it hides. We design around the sightlines first, then build for what the hilltop throws at a structure, and we back it with straightforward pricing and a Washington contractor's license.

Keep the Fence, Keep the Panorama

On the view side of a property we lean toward open designs: black aluminum that disappears against the treeline, horizontal cedar slat with wide spacing, or a low picket that marks the boundary without blocking the river. On the street side, full-height privacy still makes sense, and we blend the two so the transition looks intentional. Many of the developments up here have design covenants, and we prepare the drawings and finish samples those committees want to see. Near Prune Hill Sports Park and the school loop we also build plenty of dog-height fencing that keeps pets in while keeping Hood in the picture.

Building on Ground That Was Once a Volcano

Elevation earns the views and collects the weather. Winter storms hit this hilltop broadside before they reach the valley floor, so we spec heavier posts, closer spacing, and hardware rated for the load on exposed faces. The ground itself keeps things interesting: volcanic rock turns up in plenty of post holes, and our crews carry the augers and digging bars to reach proper depth instead of settling for shallow. Steep driveways and terraced yards get gates hung to swing true on the slope. If a builder-grade fence up here has started to lean, call the shop at (503) 555-0187. Estimates are free and the advice is honest.

We cover the rest of the city too: see our Camas fence company page for services, permit rules and the neighborhoods around you.
