Fences within 5 feet of a street property line are limited to 4 feet and must be visually open, such as lattice or wrought iron. Farther back, fences can be 6 feet and solid, but they must be screened with landscaping.
Many Orinda lots need concrete steps, landings and leveled patio pads instead of a single flat slab. We grade every surface so water drains away from the house and off the hardscape.
The Moraga-Orinda Fire District is a designated wildland-urban interface community with a defensible-space ordinance. Pavers and concrete near the house add non-combustible surface; check MOFD rules for wood fences near structures.
Narrow, winding streets and steep driveways affect how materials and equipment reach the site. We plan deliveries and staging during the site visit.
