Fencing in Salem
Fencing in Salem is selective work for us — typically only as part of a larger hardscape or yard transformation rather than standalone fence-only jobs.
About working in Salem
What we've learned installing fencing in Salem.
Salem is the southern anchor of our service area. We take selective work in Salem — primarily larger-scope hardscape and drainage projects where the trip makes sense logistically. The market is less crowded than Portland, which means our pricing and warranty terms read differently here.
Terrain & soil
Salem sits in the southern Willamette Valley with deep silt and clay soils. The east side toward Lancaster runs heavier clay; the west toward Polk County is more loam. Drainage planning is essential — winter saturation is the norm here.
Properties we work on
Mix of 1960s-1990s established neighborhoods on 0.2-0.4 acre lots, plus newer subdivisions on the south side. Less new construction than the Portland metro, and lot sizes tend to be slightly larger on average.
Neighborhoods we serve
- South Salem
- Lancaster
- West Salem
- Croisan Creek
- Sunnyslope
Permits in Salem

Common questions
What Salem homeowners ask about fencing.
What materials do you install?
Wood (cedar, pressure-treated, custom), chain link (galvanized and vinyl-coated), and iron or ornamental fencing. We propose what fits the home, not a generic catalog.
How much does fencing cost per linear foot?
Wood privacy fencing runs $35–$65 per linear foot installed in our area. Chain link is $20–$35/LF. Iron and ornamental runs higher. We give you a locked quote at the site visit.
Do you handle gates?
Yes — single, double, and walk-through gates, plus latching hardware. We can match the gate to the fence or use it as a design accent.
How long does fence installation take?
Most residential fences are done in 1–3 days. Post-setting in concrete needs cure time, so longer runs may span a few days for that reason.
Do you require an upfront payment?
No. We never require upfront payment. The free site visit gives you a locked quote, and you're not invoiced until the work is complete.
What areas do you serve?
We work the I-5 corridor from Canby (our HQ) through Aurora, Hubbard, Oregon City, West Linn, Wilsonville, Tualatin, Sherwood, Lake Oswego, Portland, and Salem.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. GI Landscape is CCB # 224884, fully licensed, bonded, and insured in the state of Oregon.
