What Crest fence projects actually look like

What do Crest fences need?
For a backcountry property, map long fence runs, driveway access, changes in terrain, and the purpose of each enclosure. Discuss gate power and service access before choosing automation. Confirm property-specific fire and land-use requirements with the responsible authority.
Working specs for Crest fence projects
County of San Diego Planning and Development Services form PDS 070 (rev. 01/01/2023) says a building permit is required for any fence except fences and freestanding masonry walls not exceeding 6 feet in height that comply with County Zoning Ordinance fencing and landscape regulations, and except open fences up to 8 feet where allowed when the uppermost two feet consists only of barbed or razor wire and necessary support elements placed at an angle for security. The form's Zoning Ordinance §6708 excerpts list 42 inches in a front or exterior side yard and 72 inches in a rear or interior side yard, with the main-building area permitted up to the maximum height applicable to the main building. Confirm the parcel is unincorporated County and that the current form still applies. PDS 070 also says any portion of a fence within 5 feet of a building shall be constructed of non-combustible material or approved exterior fire-retardant wood or material that meets the same fire-resistive standards for exterior walls per Section 707A of the County Building Code. That County form does not automatically apply to a City of San Diego parcel. Confirm jurisdiction first.
PDS 070 states that it does not address the design of wood fences and supporting wood posts, and that the listed wood-post and footing notes are recommendations only. Ask the proposal to state footing size, depth, drainage, and post species or treatment for this grade and access, then compare that schedule with the product instructions rather than a community-wide depth. View-preservation metal at a downhill line is a design choice to document, not a mandated 32-inch product.

How much does a new fence cost in Crest?
Ask a contractor for a quote based on your Crest property’s measured fence line, material specification, height, gates, and access. List removal, disposal, finish work, and any required approvals separately. This referral service does not set local contractor prices or promise a standard installed total.
Ask for the full scope and exclusions in writing before agreeing to work. Confirm who handles any permit or HOA submissions and who pays the associated fees.

What do Crest homeowners ask about fences?
Do WUI fire-zone rules apply to my Crest fence?
If the parcel is unincorporated County, PDS 070 also says any portion of a fence within 5 feet of a building shall be constructed of non-combustible material or approved exterior fire-retardant wood or material that meets the same fire-resistive standards for exterior walls per Section 707A of the County Building Code. That County form does not automatically apply to a City of San Diego parcel. Confirm jurisdiction first. Ask PDS whether additional fire documents apply to the address rather than assuming a community-wide map from the ridge name.
My Crest house has a view, how do I keep the fence from blocking it?
Show the downhill line, proposed height and openness, and how it meets privacy or street-facing runs. Confirm County yard limits on PDS 070. Neighbor views are a private coordination issue unless an association document says otherwise.
Does pine fence hold up in Crest?
No honest service life follows from the community name. Compare species, treatment, drainage at posts, finish, and manufacturer maintenance instructions against the observed sun, irrigation, and grade.
Do you do equestrian fence on Crest upper-slope parcels?
A referral is possible. Give the professional animal type, safe openings, rail and mesh orientation, gate widths, vehicle or trailer access, and how new gates meet existing corrals. Do not treat one rail-and-mesh recipe as required.
How much does it cost to do 300 feet of Crest perimeter with view-preservation and WUI buffer?
Ask for measured, itemized proposals covering the actual mix of open and privacy sections, any five-foot building-adjacent run if PDS 070 applies, gates, access, and County review. The referral service does not publish a Crest project total or schedule.
