The Belle Ainsworth Jenkins Estate is a 68-acre historic property run by THPRD, with an early-1900s Main House, a stone stable, formal gardens, and roughly two miles of trails — it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. We serve the properties around it, not the estate grounds themselves: the Sexton Mountain subdivision homes, the larger lots and acreage parcels near the trailhead, and the established and semi-rural homes that share these quiet southwest streets. This is some of Beaverton's most spacious residential ground, with longer property lines and more room to work than the tight city blocks, and a local installer who already knows the terrain gets the job set right the first time.
Our work centers on the residential streets ringing the estate: the homes off SW Grabhorn Road, the subdivision blocks along SW 155th Avenue and SW Sexton Mountain Drive, and the lots that reach toward SW Scholls Ferry Road and the Aloha edge. These range from tidy Sexton Mountain subdivision homes on standard suburban lots to larger parcels and bits of acreage that carry the open, semi-rural feel this part of 97007 is known for. The mix matters when planning a fence, because a 90-foot privacy run behind a tract home and a 400-foot perimeter line around an acre lot call for very different layouts, post counts, and gate placement.
Because Sexton Mountain sits on Beaverton's hilly west rim, near Cooper Mountain and the Aloha border, the ground here climbs and dips more than the valley floor. Mature trees, settled landscaping, and property lines that have held for decades all shape where a fence can go. We confirm the boundary first, plan the run around established plantings, and account for the grade before a single post hole gets dug. Whether you need a full new fence line, a long perimeter run, or a quick repair before the next windstorm, our trucks stay close to this corner so response times stay short.
Matched to the larger lots and established homes around Jenkins Estate — chosen for the Pacific Northwest and for long runs before they're chosen for looks.
A 6-foot good-neighbor cedar fence is the most-requested choice for larger Sexton Mountain lots — full screening with rot-resistant heartwood set off the wet soil line. See cedar privacy fence installation.
Post-and-rail ranch fence suits the acreage and semi-rural parcels near the estate, while classic dog-ear wood lines the subdivision yards. Browse wood fence installation options.
Powder-coated aluminum gives an estate-style, decorative boundary with an open sightline that fits character homes near the historic grounds. See aluminum & ornamental fence installation.
Wide driveway and walk gates for long runs, plus repair and full replacement of aging fences common on these older lots. Ask about gate installation.
Homes near Jenkins Estate sit on more land than the average Beaverton lot, and the right fence does double duty — marking a long property line cleanly while adding the character these established and estate-adjacent streets are known for. We can match an existing style so a new run blends with what's already there, soften a tall privacy line with a lattice top, or set a ranch-style or ornamental front section that opens the view while a solid cedar fence handles the back yard. Heavier corner and gate posts go into deeper footings on the long spans that carry the most strain. Ask about aluminum & ornamental fence installation and fence replacement when an older fence is past patching.
From first call to finished fence near Jenkins Estate — straightforward, with no pressure.
Can you fence a long run or a sloped lot near Grabhorn Road? Yes — long perimeter runs and west-edge slope are routine work for us on Sexton Mountain. A 300- or 400-foot line needs careful layout so panels stay square and gates land where you actually use them, and we string the run, mark every post, and account for the grade before anyone digs. On the hills that roll through this corner of 97007 we step or rack panels to follow the slope cleanly rather than leaving awkward gaps at the bottom of each section. Mature trees on these established lots add their own wrinkle: roots can force a post to shift a foot one way or another, and we plan around a trunk's root zone instead of cutting through it.
How deep should posts go in Beaverton's wet soil? Deeper than most homeowners expect, and that depth is what separates a fence that lasts a decade from one that leans in two winters. The southwest edge sits on clay-heavy, water-retaining ground, so every post goes into a concrete footing with drainage at the base — typically a third of the post's length below grade for a 6-foot fence. Saturated soil loosens shallow-set posts first, so on long runs and corner pulls we go deeper still. Untreated lumber that touches wet earth wicks moisture and rots from the bottom, so cedar gets rot-resistant heartwood at the base with a gap above the soil line.
Do you repair or replace aging fences in this area? Yes — and because we're a local crew working this western corner, not a dispatch from across the metro, we get to leaning posts, broken rails, sagging gates, and wind-blown panels fast. Two failures account for most damage here: long stretches of saturated ground that loosen shallow footings, and winter windstorms that push on panels and topple sections set too shallow. When a whole section tips after heavy rain, the footing usually gave way rather than the panel breaking, so we reset that post deeper and the line holds. When wind splits rails but the posts stay plumb, we swap panel material and keep the original posts, which keeps the fence repair quick and the cost down.
Many of the older homes near the estate have fences that are past patching and due for replacement. We can match an existing style so a new run blends with the established look of the street, or modernize a tired wood fence into clean cedar or low-maintenance material — the full fence replacement is often the smarter spend on a fence that is failing in several places at once. If you're weighing your options, the overview of fencing in Sexton Mountain and the city-wide page for fencing in Beaverton lay out what works best by area, and you can see every option on the fencing services page.
Quickly. Call (855) 598-3288 and we'll schedule an on-site visit at your convenience, often within a day or two for properties near Jenkins Estate. Staying close to this pocket of Sexton Mountain means we already know which streets have steep driveways, where mature trees crowd a property line, and how the grade behaves on the lots off Grabhorn Road and 155th Avenue — so the measure goes faster and the quote comes back accurate. A crew already working one Sexton Mountain job can often swing by a neighbor's property the same day rather than booking you a week out. You get a clear, written estimate with no obligation and no pressure.
