$6,000 – $25,000 typical range.
- $6,000 – $10,000 — 50–70 linear feet of 6-ft cedar privacy fence.
- $10,000 – $15,000 — 150–200 linear feet around a typical Richmond suburban lot.
- $15,000 – $20,000 — Composite or aluminum premium fence.
- + $1,000 – $3,000 — Richmond's clay soil and high water table drive 36-inch+ post depths and concrete bell-bottom footings to prevent the slow lean some Richmond fences develop.

Richmond permits
How we handle the paperwork.
Richmond is the exception on this list, and it matters for how we build. Richmond treats a fence with concrete foundations as a structure, so it needs a building permit — and Richmond's clay soil and high water table are exactly why we pour deep posts on bell-bottom footings here. So on a Naybur fence in Richmond, assume a building permit is required, and we file it as part of the job. A fence set without concrete foundations does not need one. Heights: 1.2 m in the front yard or anywhere between the house and the road, 2.0 m elsewhere, and up to 2.4 m along a lot line abutting a non-residential zone. Nothing may obstruct the 0.9 m to 3.0 m band inside a 7.5 m corner triangle. Barbed and electrified wire are not permitted in residential areas. A wall that retains soil is a separate matter from a fence and is permitted separately — we flag that before we quote.

Material choices
Options that work in Richmond.
Cedar still most popular. Composite is increasingly common for Richmond's humid climate (lasts longer than cedar without annual sealing). Vinyl is the budget option but warps faster than composite in summer sun.

Common questions
FAQ.
What does a fence cost in Richmond?
$6,000 to $20,000. Clay-soil deeper-post adder: $1K–$3K.
Why deeper posts in Richmond?
Clay soil shifts seasonally with the water table. Shallow posts (24 inches deep) develop slow leans within a few years. We pour 36-inch+ posts with bell-bottom footings — adds a small cost upfront, prevents a much bigger problem later.
Permit?
Usually yes in Richmond, because we build on concrete bell-bottom footings to suit the clay soil, and Richmond treats a fence with concrete foundations as a structure. We file the permit. A fence without concrete foundations does not need one.
How long?
One to two weeks. Deeper-post pours need an extra day to cure.
Richmond neighborhoods?
Steveston, Brighouse, West Cambie, Thompson, Hamilton, Seafair, Broadmoor.
