2026 Price Guide
How much does a fence cost in Valencia?
Prices by the linear foot, written the way they land on a quote. Below is what each fence material costs in Valencia, and what separates a flat lot in an older village from a graded hillside pad.
Cost by fence type
| Fence type | Installed per linear ft | 100 ft run | 150 ft run |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chain link | $18 - $40 | $1,800 - $4,000 | $2,700 - $6,000 |
| Wood privacy | $30 - $60 | $3,000 - $6,000 | $4,500 - $9,000 |
| Vinyl / PVC | $40 - $70 | $4,000 - $7,000 | $6,000 - $10,500 |
| Wrought iron | $50 - $120 | $5,000 - $12,000 | $7,500 - $18,000 |
The lowest row carries a rule with it. Valencia sits under the City of Santa Clarita, whose code at UDC 17.57.070 will not permit chain link in a required front yard or in view of a public right of way, and your village guidelines tighten that further. Read that number as a screened side line or a rear boundary, then price the visible run in a material the village approves.
Each range includes posts set in concrete, panels or pickets, any gates and hardware inside the run, and the labor to install it. The written quote narrows to your property line, your material, your slope, and whatever standard your village sets.
A flat back line in Old Orchard and a stepped run on a graded hillside pad do not land in the same part of that range. We measure yours and put it in writing.

| Add-on | Installed range |
|---|---|
| Walk gate, each | $350 to $1,200 |
| Manual driveway gate | $2,000 to $8,000 and up |
| Operator for an automatic gate | $1,500 to $5,000 added |
| Pool barrier, removable mesh | $15 to $30 per ft |
| Pool barrier, permanent metal | $40 to $90 per ft |
| Tear-out and haul-off of an old fence | $3 to $10 per ft |
Gate work inside Woodlands, Northbridge, or the Tesoro tracts starts with gate clearance and architectural review. We handle both, then price the run.

- Flat central village versus graded pad. Posts go in fast on a flat lot in an older village like Old Orchard. Up in the hillside villages the cut-and-fill pads stair down a slope, which means deeper footings and panels either racked or stepped to hold the grade. More labor, more concrete.
- Expansive clay footings. Much of the valley sits on clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons, so footings are set deep enough to hold a fence plumb through the wet-and-dry cycle, which uses more concrete than a shallow set.
- HOA review lead time and material. Every village signs off on style, color, and height first. Some insist on a particular look, which narrows you to one product line and adds review time to the calendar.
- Paseo and greenbelt standards. A lot backing onto the paseo network usually has to match a standardized community fence set by the master association, which fixes the material for that edge.
- Fire-zone material. Out on the foothill lots by the wildland edge, non-combustible tubular steel, iron, or block near the house prices above wood, and it is what defensible space asks for.
- Removing an old fence. Demolition and haul-off get their own line on the quote. We would rather show that cost than bury it inside a per-foot rate.
- Gates and access control. On plenty of Valencia estate and gated-tract lots, a powered driveway gate is the single largest add-on.
Wood versus vinyl in Valencia
The first invoice favors wood: roughly $30 to $60 per linear foot against $40 to $70 for vinyl, plus the warm cedar or redwood look the mature village backyards were built around. What wood asks back is maintenance. A stain or seal every few years holds it against the dry Valencia sun, and pickets will cup or check in time. Vinyl asks nothing after install, keeps its white through the heat, and reads as the uniform boundary some villages want, which is why a long privacy run nobody intends to maintain usually ends up in vinyl. Close to the house on a foothill fire-zone lot neither belongs, and that stretch wants iron or block.

Cost questions
How much does a fence cost per linear foot in Valencia?
Chain link installs at roughly $18 to $40 per linear foot, wood at $30 to $60, vinyl at $40 to $70, and wrought iron at $50 to $120. Short back-yard chain link sits at the bottom of that spread. Ornamental iron and graded-pad footings sit at the top.
How much does 150 feet of wood fence cost in Valencia?
Figure $4,500 to $9,000 installed for 150 linear feet of six foot wood privacy fence, posts, panels, hardware, and labor included. Three things push it toward the upper end: tearing out the old fence, deeper footings on a graded hillside pad or in the expansive valley clay, and a premium cap and trim.
Why does a Valencia hillside lot cost more to fence?
The cut-and-fill pads up in the hillside villages stair down a slope, so footings go deeper and panels get racked or stepped to hold the grade. That labor and concrete, plus footings driven below the expansive clay so the run stays plumb through the wet-and-dry cycle, lift the per foot figure above a flat lot in an older central village.
Does the village HOA affect the price?
The fence price itself, no. The timeline yes, and sometimes the material. Each Valencia village reviews fence style, color, and height before work, and a lot backing onto a paseo or greenbelt often has to match a standardized community fence, so the review window goes into the schedule and we quote the material the association will actually pass.
