Wondering who installs fences near Tualatin Hills Nature Park? Beaverton Fence Pro is the local crew that builds and repairs fences for the homes and businesses bordering the preserve, with its main entrance at 15655 SW Millikan Way in the Five Oaks area. We install cedar privacy fence, wood, chain-link wildlife barriers, and vinyl across the 97006 streets that ring the park, and we answer the phone 24/7. To get started, call (855) 598-3288 for a free on-site estimate.
The park is a 222-acre THPRD wildlife preserve with roughly five miles of trails, wetlands, and creeks, reached from entrances at Millikan Way, SW 170th Avenue, and the Merlo Road/158th MAX station. We serve the properties around it — the nature-adjacent single-family homes, the wooded and greenway-backing lots, the newer subdivisions near 158th and 170th, and the small offices and commercial sites near Millikan and Merlo — not the park itself. There is no affiliation here; the preserve is simply the landmark that orients this green corner of Five Oaks, and fencing a lot that backs onto it calls for a different playbook than a standard suburban yard.
Our work centers on the residential and commercial blocks that ring the preserve: the homes off SW Millikan Way, the lots along SW 158th Avenue and SW 170th Avenue, and the streets near SW Merlo Road and the Merlo Road/158th MAX station. Many of these properties sit right against the park's wooded edge or a connected greenway, which shapes every job — the back of the lot is a no-disturbance buffer, the ground stays damp and shaded under tree cover, and creeks thread through the low spots. Closer to the arterials, newer subdivisions near 158th and 170th and a handful of small offices and commercial sites near Millikan and Merlo fill in the rest.
Backing onto a nature preserve is the draw and the challenge here. Homeowners want privacy and a clean edge between their yard and the trees, but they also want to keep the view, respect the buffer, and keep deer, raccoons, and other critters from treating the garden as part of the park. A well-built fence does all of that at once when it is set right for the conditions. We build the nearby properties — single-family homes, greenway-backing lots, subdivision houses, and small commercial sites — not the preserve. With SW Millikan Way, SW 170th Avenue, and the Sunset Highway corridor close by, our trucks stay near and our scheduling stays tight.
Matched to the damp, shaded, greenway-backing yards around Tualatin Hills Nature Park — rot resistance and critter defense chosen before looks.
Rot-resistant cedar is the smart choice for a damp, shaded lot backing the park — a 6-foot run screens the yard while the heartwood holds up against constant moisture. See cedar privacy fence installation.
Classic dog-ear and flat-top wood styles suit the nature-adjacent homes near 158th and 170th, blending into a wooded setting. Browse wood fence installation options.
Galvanized or vinyl-coated chain-link keeps deer, raccoons, and other critters out of the garden without blocking the greenway view — a practical barrier for park-edge lots. See chain-link fence installation.
Low-maintenance vinyl shrugs off damp, shaded ground with no staining or sealing — a tidy fit for newer subdivision lots near the park. Explore vinyl fence installation.
Fencing a lot that backs onto the Tualatin Hills greenway is its own job. Many park-edge parcels carry a no-disturbance buffer and wetland setbacks that govern how close to the trees you can build, so we site the fence on the buildable line rather than pushing into protected ground. The soil back there stays damp and shaded under tree cover, roots crowd the post holes, and the grade often slopes toward a creek — conditions that punish a shallow, careless install. We set rot-resistant cedar or coated steel in deeper, drained footings, route the run around root zones, and step panels down a slope cleanly so the line holds and the buffer stays intact.

From first call to finished fence near Tualatin Hills Nature Park — straightforward, with no pressure.
Can you fence a wooded or wetland-adjacent yard near the park? Yes, and it is most of what we do on these streets — but the install starts with where the fence is allowed to go, not just where you want it. Lots backing onto Tualatin Hills Nature Park or a connected greenway often sit beside a no-disturbance buffer, and wetland setbacks can keep a fence off the very back of the parcel. Will the city's greenway setback affect your fence? It can, so before we dig we confirm the buildable line, keep posts and footings clear of the protected zone, and site the run where it does its job without disturbing the buffer. When a setback is in play, we lay the fence on the legal line and design the yard around it rather than risk a fence that has to come back out.
The ground itself is the next hurdle. Under the tree canopy the soil stays damp and shaded long after the rest of Beaverton dries out, roots from the preserve reach into the post holes, and the grade frequently tips toward a creek or low wet spot. Each of those punishes a shallow install, so every post goes into a concrete footing with drainage at the base, set deep enough to hold in saturated ground — roughly a third of the post's length below grade for a 6-foot fence. We route the line to clear major roots rather than cut through them, and on a slope we step or rack the panels so the run follows the grade cleanly without leaving gaps a raccoon can slip through. Rot-resistant cedar gets its heartwood at the base with a clean gap above the soil, which matters more here than almost anywhere in the city.
Do you repair fences damaged by roots, moisture, or wildlife? Yes — and park-edge fences take a particular kind of beating. Constant damp loosens shallow footings and rots untreated wood from the bottom up, encroaching roots can heave a post out of plumb, and animals push on weak panels or dig under low gaps. Because we are a local crew rather than a dispatch from across the metro, we get to leaning posts, sagging gates, and breached barriers fast. When a section tips after a wet stretch, the footing usually gave way rather than the panel, so we reset that post in a deeper, drained footing and the line holds. When wood has rotted at the base but the structure is sound, we swap the affected boards and seal the new work; when critters keep getting through, we close the gap at grade and reinforce the bottom rail. If you are weighing your options, the broader overview of fencing in Five Oaks and the city-wide page for fencing in Beaverton lay out what works best by area, and you can see every service on the fencing services page. The contextual hub for Tualatin Hills Nature Park covers the surrounding streets in more detail.
The small offices and commercial sites near SW Millikan Way and SW Merlo Road have their own fencing needs, and we handle commercial work as readily as residential. We build perimeter and screening fence, trash and equipment enclosures sized to satisfy both landlord and hauler, and swing or rolling gates that clear a service area — all set with the same footing discipline the damp ground near the park demands.
