What pushes Walnut Creek-area quotes up
- Slopes: stepped panels, longer posts and more cutting.
- Access: no truck access to the backyard means hand-carrying posts, concrete and old boards.
- Rock and roots: slow post holes; protected trees may need hand digging.
- Haul-off: old fences, especially with concrete footings, take time and dump fees.
- Steel posts, lattice tops, board-on-board: more material, more labor.
- Gates: each one adds hardware, a heavier post and framing.
- HOA approval and neighbor notice: time, not money, but they move schedules.
