Fences in Yelm, WA
Some Yelm lots are inside city limits and some are out in the county. The rules that apply to your fence depend on which side of that line you're on, and on your HOA.
What's different about Yelm fences
- City or county. Inside city limits, Yelm's code applies. Outside, Thurston County's does. We check the current height and permit rules for your parcel before we build.
- Community rules. Clearwood, Nisqually Pines and planned neighborhoods like Tahoma Terra can set their own fence styles. We'll plan around them.
- Longer runs. Rural lots in the Nisqually Valley can mean long property lines and more than one gate.
What we build
- Cedar fences and gates
- Picket gates and arbors
