Serving Burlingame, CA and surrounding areas. (650) 582-0659
Your dog deserves a yard they can enjoy. We build pet fences designed around your dog's size, habits, and your Burlingame property - so escape routes stop being a worry.
Pet and dog fencing in Burlingame, CA covers material selection, sizing for your dog's breed, and installation with dig guards and secure gate hardware - most standard residential yards are completed in one to three days, including permit handling.
If your dog has already found a way out - or you're bringing a dog home to an unfenced yard - pet and dog fencing in Burlingame is worth getting right the first time. The right fence height, gate latch, and base treatment all depend on the specific dog. A fence built for a Chihuahua is not built for a German Shepherd, and a generic fence built without a dig guard is not built for a terrier. If you're also thinking about convenience at the gate, take a look at our automatic gate installation options - they pair well with a dedicated dog enclosure.
We've installed dog fences throughout Burlingame and the surrounding Peninsula. Every estimate starts with a walk of your property so we can see the yard, the slope, and any access points before we recommend anything.
If your dog has slipped through a gap, pushed under a sagging panel, or jumped a low section of fence, that is the clearest signal your current setup is not working. One escape is a warning. Given how close Burlingame streets are to El Camino Real and Highway 101, a second one is an emergency.
A fence that wobbles has posts that have shifted or rotted below the surface. In Burlingame's damp, foggy climate, wood posts set without proper concrete footings can begin to rot within five to ten years. If you can rock a post by hand, it is no longer doing its job.
Older decorative fences often have wide picket spacing or gaps at the base that a small or medium dog can push through. If you can fit your fist through any opening, a determined dog probably can too. This is a common issue in Burlingame's older housing stock.
Many Burlingame homeowners have small unfenced yards that worked fine before they got a dog. If you are adopting or buying a dog and your yard has no perimeter, now is the time to plan - before the dog arrives, not after the first escape.
We install all common dog-containment fence types - wood privacy fences, galvanized chain-link fence installation , and welded wire panels - configured specifically for dog containment. Every installation includes proper post depth, concrete footings, and a gate with self-latching hardware. We also address dig prevention at the base of the fence when the dog's habits call for it, using buried wire mesh or concrete aprons along the fence line.
If you want hands-free entry to your dog's yard, our automatic gate installation service can be added to any new fence project or retrofitted to an existing gate opening. We handle the permit for both the fence and the gate in a single application when the work is done together, which keeps the timeline and paperwork as simple as possible.
Suits homeowners who want privacy alongside containment - solid panels with no gaps and a finished look that fits Burlingame's older residential neighborhoods.
Best for owners who want a cost-effective, long-lasting enclosure that is easy to inspect for gaps - popular choice for active dogs and larger yards.
A good fit for medium-sized dogs where a decorative look matters less than a tight, consistent grid that resists both jumping and pushing.
Designed for dogs that dig along fence lines - a buried mesh or L-footer apron is added at the base so escape attempts from below are stopped at the start.
Burlingame's marine fog and salt air are hard on fencing materials that were not chosen or finished with this climate in mind. Wood posts set directly in soil without proper footings can begin to rot in five to ten years here - faster than in drier inland cities. Metal hardware that is not galvanized or powder-coated will show rust within a season or two. We factor the local climate into every material recommendation we make, whether that means pressure-treated posts, cedar panels over pine, or corrosion-resistant hardware throughout. Homeowners in San Mateo and Millbrae face similar coastal conditions and the same permit requirements, so we bring the same approach across the Peninsula.
Burlingame's lot sizes are compact, and homes often sit close together along shared property lines. That matters for dog fencing because a fence that encroaches even a few inches onto a neighbor's property can create a dispute - especially in a tight-knit neighborhood. We verify property lines before any post goes in, and we always call 811 to have utility lines marked before we dig. Many Burlingame homes were built in the 1940s through 1960s, and older properties often have irrigation lines or drainage runs close to the surface that are not on any plan. Catching those early keeps the project on schedule and your landscaping intact.
We reply within one business day. We will ask your address, your yard's approximate size, and your dog's breed and habits - that information helps us show up to the site visit with the right ideas already in mind.
We walk your property, measure the fence line, and look for anything that could complicate the job - slopes, irrigation lines, tight access, or gaps in an existing fence. You get a written price that covers materials, installation, and permit fees - no guessing later.
If a permit is required - which it usually is for a full yard fence in Burlingame - we submit the application on your behalf. City processing typically takes a few business days to two weeks. We schedule your installation date once the permit is in hand.
The crew sets posts in concrete, attaches panels, and installs gate hardware. For most Burlingame yards, structural work wraps in one to two days. Before we leave, we walk the finished fence with you - test every latch and check the base line for gaps, especially at corners.

(650) 582-0659The right fence for a five-pound terrier is different from the right fence for a ninety-pound Labrador. We ask about your dog's size, breed, and escape history before we recommend anything - so the finished fence is built for the actual animal, not a generic dog.
Burlingame requires building permits for most full-yard fences. We handle the application, coordinate with the city, and schedule the inspection - so you never have to navigate city paperwork on your own. Skipping permits can create real problems when you sell your home, and we do not skip them.
Gates are not the only escape route. If your dog is a digger, we incorporate buried wire mesh or concrete aprons at the base of the fence line. The American Kennel Club identifies digging as one of the most common ways dogs escape, and we treat it as a standard part of the design conversation, not an add-on.
Burlingame's coastal fog accelerates rust and wood rot. We use pressure-treated posts, cedar or redwood panels for wood fences, and galvanized or powder-coated hardware throughout - so the fence holds up through Bay Area winters without constant maintenance on your part. Learn more about fence care at the{' '} American Kennel Club's fencing guidance - see{' '} akc.org.
Every dog fence we build starts with a site visit and ends with a walkthrough of the finished job - including testing every gate latch before we leave. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every project, from a small side-yard enclosure to a full perimeter fence.
