Fencing across north Beaverton's tree-lined Cedar Hills — styles that suit mid-century homes and mature lots, post setting around big root systems, and the rules that apply near Cedar Hills Crossing and the Nike corridor.
Cedar Hills is one of north Beaverton's most established neighborhoods — tree-lined streets, mid-century modern homes, and larger lots that sit about ten minutes from downtown Portland. It is a place defined by mature canopy and roomy yards, which makes it one of the most rewarding and most demanding areas in the city to fence. Beaverton Fence Pro works the whole neighborhood, from a privacy rebuild on a 1960s ranch to a clean line for an apartment community or a retail tenant near Cedar Hills Crossing.
We are a service-area company, so we come to your property, set the fence for the Pacific Northwest climate, and stay inside city code. There is no storefront and no published address — just a crew that arrives where the work is. Homeowners on the quiet streets and businesses along the Nike-area corridor both reach us at the same number. When you want to move forward, the fencing in Cedar Hills page handles the transactional details. Otherwise, read on, and call (855) 598-3288 any time.
Cedar Hills sits in ZIP 97005 in the north part of Beaverton, close enough to Portland that the commute is short and far enough out that the streets feel residential and green. The neighborhood took shape mid-century, and it shows: classic mid-century modern single-family homes line the tree-shaded streets, many of them on larger lots than you find in newer parts of the city. Mixed in among the houses are apartment and condo communities, plus the retail and corporate corridors that give the area its anchors.
Two landmarks define the edges. Cedar Hills Crossing is the long-running shopping center anchored by New Seasons, WinCo, Powell's, Century Theaters, and LA Fitness — the everyday hub of the neighborhood. To the north and west runs the corporate corridor around Nike World Headquarters, with the broader Tektronix and Intel employment base nearby. The homes sit within the Beaverton School District. For fencing, the defining feature is the tree canopy: decades-old evergreens and shade trees grow throughout the yards, and their root systems shape where and how a fence line can go. If you are unsure which block falls in Cedar Hills, tell us your cross streets.
The mid-century character of Cedar Hills opens up more style choices than most Beaverton neighborhoods. Tree-lined yards pair naturally with cedar privacy fence and traditional wood fence installation — full-height privacy that disappears into the canopy and ages gracefully under the trees. Cedar is the right wood here because it resists rot in a climate where shaded yards stay damp, and it weathers to a soft gray that suits the established look of the streets.
For homeowners who want to lean into the architecture, horizontal fence installation gives the clean, low-slung lines that complement mid-century homes — a modern look that has become a favorite on these streets. If low maintenance is the priority, vinyl holds a crisp line for decades with little upkeep, and aluminum or ornamental panels offer an open, refined boundary for front yards and shared edges where the 3.5-foot street-facing limit applies.
Plenty of Cedar Hills lots still carry the original mid-century chain-link. Replacing a tired chain-link run with cedar privacy or horizontal slats is one of the most common upgrades we do here, and it transforms a backyard. Whatever the material, the install standard holds: posts set in concrete footings with proper drainage, laid out to work with the trees rather than against them. The style is your choice; the build quality is non-negotiable.

Big evergreens and shade trees send root systems out under the yard, and a fence post hole that runs straight into a major root cannot just be forced through it. Cutting a structural root can hurt the tree and still leave you with a post that will not hold. The fix is layout: we walk the line before we dig, shift post spacing where a root demands it, and adjust the plan so the fence stays straight and the trees stay healthy.
The same trees keep the ground shaded and damp, especially through the long wet winters. That makes proper footings non-negotiable — posts get set in concrete with drainage so water does not pool against them and rot or heave the post over time. Tree-lined drainage also tends to be older and slower here, which is exactly why we set the line deeper and cleaner than a bare, sunny lot would need. Get the footings right under the canopy and a Cedar Hills fence lasts for decades; cut the corner and the trees will find it.
Cedar Hills follows the same Beaverton Development Code that governs the rest of the city, so the height limits are consistent:
Most established Cedar Hills homes are governed by city code alone, but some of the apartment communities and a handful of pockets carry their own CC&Rs through an architectural review process — worth a quick check before you build if your property is in a managed community. Heights are measured from finished grade, which is usually simple on these flat-to-gently-rolling lots. The detail that catches homeowners here is the same one that catches the rest of the city: the lower front-yard limit applies no matter how private you want the front, so privacy planning happens in the back and along the sides. We confirm all of it on site so the approved plan is buildable as drawn.
Cedar Hills carries more commercial weight than most Beaverton neighborhoods because of its two anchors. Around Cedar Hills Crossing, the retail tenants and service businesses fence for visibility control, lot definition, and screening — ornamental aluminum for a storefront edge, or chain-link and screened enclosures for back-of-house service areas. Along the corporate corridor near Nike World Headquarters, the smaller commercial and multi-family properties on the surrounding streets need clean, durable boundaries. We handle that commercial & security fencing work on the same line as the residential jobs.
The landmarks themselves sit on corporate or retail land we do not fence, but the homes, apartment communities, and small businesses around them are squarely in our service area. We work near fencing near Cedar Hills Crossing every week, and across the residential streets by fencing near Nike World Headquarters. If your property sits near either, you are inside our core coverage for Cedar Hills.

There is a rhythm to how Cedar Hills yards get fenced. Backyards want full 6-foot privacy, often in cedar or horizontal slats that suit the mid-century look, while front sections stay low and open to satisfy the streetscape rule. Pet owners frequently pair a privacy back fence with a lower side run for visibility, and households upgrading from original chain-link almost always step up to a solid privacy fence that finally screens the yard. The trees are always part of the plan, not an afterthought.
The Pacific Northwest climate sets the standard everywhere here. Long, wet winters keep the shaded soil saturated, so footings have to be deep and well-drained and the wood has to be rot-resistant cedar to last. The combination of damp ground and heavy root activity is what separates a fence that holds for decades from one that leans in a few seasons — and it is why we set posts the way we do under the canopy.
