Board on Board Redwood
A privacy-focused fence with overlapping boards and a finished appearance from both sides — especially useful for shared property lines.
Union City sits between flatter East Bay neighborhoods and the rising foothills to the east. That mix creates different fence conditions across the city — from level shared property lines to sloped lots closer to Mission Boulevard and the hills.
Union City is part of the East Bay Plain and Niles Cone area, but the eastern edge rises toward the East Bay Hills. Dry Creek Pioneer Regional Park, reached from Union City, transitions into narrow valleys, ridges and rolling hills.
For fences, that means one Union City property may have a nearly level backyard while another has a noticeable change in grade. Flatter lots can put more emphasis on drainage, existing concrete and shared property lines, while foothill properties may require stepped or carefully transitioned fence sections and more attention to gate clearance.
Union City grew around communities including Alvarado and Decoto, and today stretches from major residential and commercial corridors toward Dry Creek and the foothills. That combination of established neighborhoods, newer development and open-space edges gives local fence projects a wide range of site conditions.
We focus on redwood fence styles that solve the most common Union City needs: privacy, shared property lines, aging fence replacement and reliable gate access.

A privacy-focused fence with overlapping boards and a finished appearance from both sides — especially useful for shared property lines.

A classic redwood style for long backyard runs, straightforward replacements and homeowners who want the traditional appearance of a wood fence.

Walk-through and side-yard gates built to match the fence, with attention to access, ground clearance and the way the yard is used.

We help determine whether damaged posts or sections can reasonably be repaired or whether broader deterioration makes replacement the better long-term choice.
On level properties, shared property lines, drainage, old concrete and gate alignment often matter more than dramatic grade changes.
Closer to the hills, grade changes can affect stepped sections, gate clearance and how privacy works between yards at different elevations.
Established neighborhoods may have years of repairs, replaced posts and old concrete that should be understood before a complete rebuild.
The Hayward Fault passes through Union City, and USGS research in Union City has documented the fault and nearby alluvial fan deposits in detail. A residential fence is not a geotechnical structure, but known fault-zone or site constraints should still be identified before construction and handled according to applicable requirements.
Send the Union City address, photos, approximate footage and number of gates.
We look at access, grade, drainage, existing posts, gate locations and the fence style you want.
We explain the recommended build and what the project will involve before work begins.
Yes. Union City includes relatively flat East Bay neighborhoods and properties closer to the East Bay Hills. Some lots are straightforward while others have noticeable grade changes, so fence transitions and gate placement should be planned around the actual property.
Yes. We install Board on Board redwood privacy fences, Traditional Dog Ear fences, redwood gates, repairs and complete fence replacements in Union City.
Yes. Send clear photos, the Union City property address, approximate linear feet, preferred fence style and number of gates. That gives us a strong starting point before an on-site visit.
We serve homeowners throughout Union City, including Alvarado, Decoto, Seven Hills, Union Landing, Dyer Street, Mission Boulevard and nearby neighborhoods, subject to project availability.
Tell us what is happening with your current fence and what you want to change.
Send photos if you have them, approximate footage and the number of gates, and we can help you figure out the next step.
