01

Hardwood is the spec.

Cumaru, Ipe, and Garapa outlast cedar three-to-one in LA's climate. We build with the woods that survive salt air, summer UV, and irrigation overspray for two decades, not five years.

HOA submission is included.

We've handled architectural review for hundreds of LA neighborhoods. Your committee gets submission-grade drawings, material samples, and elevations as part of the proposal — at no extra cost.

03

Lifetime warranty in writing.

If a board cups, a post leans, or a hinge fails, we fix it on our dime. No diagnostic fee, no fine print, for as long as you own the home.

What's specific about fences in Topanga.

Most LA fence contractors install pressure-treated SPF that fails in five years.

Every fence ships with submission-grade HOA documentation and a lifetime craftsmanship warranty in writing. In Topanga specifically, the build context is different from a generic LA project. Canyon community with strong creative-bohemian roots. Fire-history dictates a rebuild-rich market and an unusual emphasis on fire-hardened outdoor builds. That changes what a fences project looks like — both in spec and in process.
