What changes in La Crescenta.
County, not city
La Crescenta is unincorporated. Permits go through Los Angeles County Public Works, not the City of Los Angeles.
Every line changes height
On these grades, stepped and raked panels are compared up front, before posts are set.
Wall-to-fence transitions
Where a block wall meets a fence on the slope, the change in height is designed from the start, not patched on site.
