Fences and gates in Valley Village
Valley Village streets are lined with mature parkway trees whose roots run under the front fence line. Posts go between root zones, not through them. Front fences usually stay low and open so the street keeps its green, and the full-height privacy runs go in back, where the yard needs them.

What changes in Valley Village.
Posts between the roots
Big parkway roots often run under the front line. We find them before digging and set posts in the gaps, so the tree and the footing both stay sound.
Low and open in front
Front runs usually stay short, with spaced boards or slats, so the street keeps its green and the house still reads from the sidewalk.
Full privacy in back
The tall, tight run goes along the rear and side lines, where neighbors are close and the yard is actually used.
