Your dog deserves a yard they can run freely in. We build pet fences in Windsor that hold up through Sonoma County winters - and stay standing after the clay soil does its seasonal shifting.

Pet and dog fencing in Windsor, CA means installing a physical barrier around your yard using wood, vinyl, chain link, or aluminum - sized and gated for your specific dog - most jobs take one to three days depending on yard size and material, with posts set in concrete to handle local clay soil movement.
The right fence for your dog depends on more than just budget. Larger or athletic breeds need more height. Dogs that dig need a dig guard along the base. Homeowners in Windsor's planned subdivisions often need a specific style to pass HOA review. Getting these details right before installation day is the difference between a fence that works and one you are patching or replacing within a few years.
If your yard also has a pool, our pool fence installation service can be combined with a pet enclosure so both needs are addressed with one project and one crew visit.
If your dog has gotten out even once, your current setup is not working. In a growing town like Windsor where traffic on residential streets has increased, an escape is a real safety risk. A properly installed fence removes that worry entirely.
Walk your fence line and look for boards that have warped or pulled away from the frame, posts that lean when you push them, or gaps at the base. Windsor's wet winters and clay soil are hard on older wood fences, and what looks like a minor gap looks like an invitation to your dog.
A fence that worked fine for a small, calm dog may not hold a larger, more energetic breed. If you have recently adopted a new dog - especially a young, athletic breed - it is worth having a contractor assess whether your current fence height and construction are up to the job.
If you notice fence posts that have shifted, cracked at the base, or seem to have pushed upward out of the ground after a wet winter, Windsor's expansive clay soil has done its work. This kind of damage tends to get worse each year and can eventually cause whole fence sections to fall.
We install dog fencing in wood, vinyl, chain link, and aluminum - and the right choice depends on your dog, your yard, and what your HOA allows. Wood is the most popular choice in Windsor's residential neighborhoods and can be built to almost any height or style. Vinyl needs no painting or staining and holds up well through wet winters without the maintenance commitment that wood requires. For homeowners who need a secure enclosure at a lower upfront cost, chain link with a vinyl coating is a practical option that blends better into landscaping than bare galvanized wire.
For active diggers, we install dig guards along the base - a section of wire mesh buried underground so there is nothing to excavate through. For homes with both a dog and a driveway entrance, our automatic gate installation service pairs well with a pet fence so the driveway entrance closes on its own and never becomes an accidental escape route.
The most common choice in Windsor - customizable in height and style, and easy to match to your home's exterior.
Best for homeowners who want no maintenance - resists Sonoma County moisture without painting or sealing.
A cost-effective option for large yards or secondary enclosures where appearance is less important than containment.
A low-maintenance option with a finished look - suits HOA neighborhoods where wood or chain link may not be approved.
Added to any fence type for dogs that dig - wire mesh buried along the base so there is no way to get underneath.
Installed on every dog fence gate so the latch engages automatically - no relying on family members to remember.
Windsor's clay-heavy soil is one of the biggest factors in how a dog fence holds up over time. The soil swells when it absorbs winter rain and contracts again in the dry summer - and that movement slowly tilts posts that were not set deep enough or supported with sufficient concrete. A fence that looks solid in October can have noticeable lean by March. We see this regularly on older fences across Windsor and across the broader Sonoma County area, and we set posts accordingly on every job we take.
Windsor's growth since the 1990s also means a large portion of homeowners live in planned subdivisions with active HOAs. Before any material is ordered, we check what your association requires - height limits, approved materials, and any style restrictions. Homeowners in Santa Rosa and Healdsburg face similar permit and HOA considerations, and we work across all of those communities regularly.
We ask a few questions about your yard size, your dog's breed, and what material you are thinking about. We respond within 1 business day and schedule an in-person visit to measure and assess.
We measure the fence line, check the slope of your yard, and note Windsor's clay soil conditions along the post line. You receive a written quote - not a rough number over the phone.
If your fence requires a Town of Windsor permit - which it likely will - we submit the application on your behalf. Permit approval usually takes one to two weeks. Once approved, you get a confirmed installation date.
The crew digs post holes, sets posts in concrete, and attaches the fencing panels. Most standard Windsor backyard projects finish in one to two days. We walk the fence line with you, demonstrate the gate latch, and confirm the concrete curing window before we leave.
No pressure, no obligation. We will measure your yard, check the soil, and give you a written quote. We respond within 1 business day.

We pull your building permit through the Town of Windsor's Community Development Department as part of our standard process. Your fence is legal, documented, and ready to show when you sell your home.
Many of Windsor's planned subdivisions have active HOAs with specific fence rules. We know what local associations typically require and help you choose a style and height that gets approved the first time - not after an expensive change order.
The gate is the most common escape point on any dog fence. We verify that every gate is plumb, self-closing, and latching properly before the crew drives away. If something needs adjustment, it is done on the spot.
The American Kennel Club recommends physical fencing as the most reliable way to keep dogs safely contained in a yard. We combine that standard with the specific soil and permit knowledge that Windsor properties require, so you get a fence your dog cannot defeat and one that will still be standing in a decade.
Pair your dog fence with a driveway gate that closes automatically so a forgotten latch is never the reason your dog gets out.
