New Composite Fence with Aluminum Frame – A Complete Privacy Upgrade in Los Angeles

The new fence runs along the property line, includes multiple elevation transitions, and features custom-built swing gates constructed from the same composite material for a seamless look. This project highlights the advantages of composite fencing for homeowners seeking a long-term investment with zero yearly maintenance.

Scope of Work

1. Removal & Site Preparation

Before installation began, the team removed the old fencing, cleared vegetation, leveled the soil along the sloped areas, and prepared all post locations according to the layout.

Special attention was required in sections with retaining walls, elevation drops, and tight property boundaries — ensuring proper alignment and structural stability.

2. Installation of Aluminum Structural Posts

The entire fence is built on a powder-coated aluminum framework, which offers several benefits:

• No rust or corrosion

• Greater rigidity compared to wood

• Precise geometry for long fence runs

• Perfect compatibility with composite panels

• Longer lifespan in California’s climate

Every post was installed to exact height and spacing tolerances, including stepped sections where the ground level changes.

3. Composite Panels: High-Durability, Zero Maintenance

We used horizontal composite fence boards with a deep wood-grain texture in a modern brown tone. These panels do not fade, do not require staining, and are fully weather-resistant.

Advantages of composite panels for LA homeowners:

• Fade-resistant in strong sun

• No warping or cracking

• Excellent sound reduction

• Easy to clean

• Sleek, modern design

The result is a fence that maintains its appearance for years without the yearly upkeep required for wooden fences.

4. Clean Transitions on Sloped Terrain

One of the key challenges of this project was the long sloped backyard boundary.

We created a stepped installation pattern with precise leveling of each section to ensure:

• consistent panel alignment

• safe connection points

• a polished and uniform appearance across the entire length

This type of installation requires advanced experience, especially with composite materials that cannot be trimmed or adjusted the same way as wood.

5. Custom Gates Built Using the Same System

The driveway received a set of custom aluminum swing gates filled with matching composite panels.

Features include:

• Heavy-duty aluminum frame

• Stainless hinges

• Modern lock hardware

• Perfect color and texture match with the fence

These gates provide secure access while maintaining a unified aesthetic across the property.

6. Final Result

The completed fence significantly upgraded the look and functionality of the entire yard:

• Full privacy around the perimeter

• Modern, clean appearance

• Increased property value

• Noise reduction and improved sense of comfort

• Zero yearly maintenance

This type of composite-and-aluminum fence is one of the best long-term investments for Los Angeles homes — especially those with large yards, sloped terrain, or high sun exposure.
