Fencing across the Greenway neighborhood that wraps around Greenway Park and the Fanno Creek Trail — the styles that suit park-edge lots, plus the creek-adjacent footings and height rules that hold a fence here.
Greenway is the neighborhood built around its namesake park — single-family streets that wrap Greenway Park and the Fanno Creek Trail, with a commercial strip along SW Cascade Avenue paralleling Highway 217. It is a recognized Beaverton Neighborhood Association Committee in ZIP 97008, close to Washington Square and the Cascade Plaza retail. Beaverton Fence Pro covers this whole area, from a privacy run on a trail-side backyard to a security or screening fence for a business along the Cascade Ave corridor.
We are a service-area company. We come to your property, build for the wet Pacific Northwest climate, and keep your fence within Beaverton's code. There is no showroom and no published address — just a crew that shows up where the work is. Homeowners on the park-edge streets and commercial tenants along Highway 217 both call the same number. When you are ready for numbers, the fencing in Greenway page covers the transactional side. Otherwise, read on, and call (855) 598-3288 any time, day or night.
Greenway sits in ZIP 97008, bounded roughly by Scholls Ferry Road to the south, Highway 217 to the east, Hall Boulevard to the north, and SW 125th to the west. At its heart is Greenway Park, an 87-acre THPRD park threaded by the Fanno Creek Trail, with disc golf, playgrounds, and open meadows. The residential streets fan out around the park, so a large share of the neighborhood's homes sit a short walk from the trail and a meaningful number back directly onto the park or the creek corridor.
The area is anchored by neighborhood schools — Greenway Elementary, Conestoga Middle, and Southridge High — and its eastern edge runs commercial along SW Cascade Avenue, parallel to Highway 217 and near the Cascade Plaza and Washington Square retail. That gives Greenway a dual character: quiet park-wrapped residential streets on one side and a busy commercial corridor on the other. The terrain reflects the park: mature trees shade many lots, and the Fanno Creek drainage keeps the park-edge ground damp. For fencing, the defining facts are the creek-adjacent moisture on residential lots and the security needs of the commercial strip. That split is exactly why a fence overview matters here. If you are not sure how your lot sits relative to the park, give us your cross streets and we will sort it out.
The fence that fits depends on where your lot sits. For the trail-side and park-edge backyards that define much of Greenway, cedar privacy fence is the steady choice — full 6-foot privacy that screens a yard from the trail while blending into the green backdrop. Cedar earns its place because it is naturally rot-resistant, which matters where the Fanno Creek drainage keeps the ground damp and shaded. Traditional wood fence installation suits the established residential streets and matches the existing runs.
For homeowners who want minimal upkeep, vinyl / PVC fence installation holds a clean white or tan line for decades with no staining or sealing — a sensible pick on the damp lots near the creek. Chain-link stays the budget choice for back lots and dog runs, and where it borders the park it can be screened with slats or plantings to soften the view. Aluminum and ornamental panels give an open, refined edge for front sections and corners where the lower height limit applies, and they pair well with the parklike setting. Whatever the style, the install quality matters more than the label: on creek-adjacent, shaded ground, posts set deep in concrete with drainage are what keep a fence plumb. A cedar fence set right in concrete will outlast a "premium" fence dropped shallow in wet dirt, every time. We plan that build during the on-site estimate.
Greenway's park and creek give it character, and they give its fences a challenge. The Fanno Creek drainage keeps park-edge and trail-side ground damp and shaded, and mature trees crowd many property lines — both of which decide whether a fence holds plumb for decades or starts leaning in a few years.
Creek-fed, tree-shaded ground stays wet. Posts get set in concrete footings with proper drainage so the moisture does not rot or heave them.
Big tree roots crowd post holes near the park. We lay the run out to dodge major roots rather than cut through them.
Where a lot meets the trail or creek buffer, we confirm the boundary and any setback at the estimate before placing the line.
Fence rules here come from the Beaverton Development Code, so they read the same across Greenway as they do citywide. The basics every homeowner should know:
Lots that back onto Greenway Park, the Fanno Creek Trail, or the creek buffer can carry an additional setback from the protected edge, so the fence may not run all the way to the line. Heights are measured from finished grade. Most Greenway streets are not in an HOA, so city code is usually the only layer for residential lots, though a handful of pockets carry CC&Rs. We confirm the city code and any trail or creek setback for your specific lot during the estimate so the approved plan is the one that goes in the ground.
Greenway is not all park-edge yards. Its eastern flank runs commercial along SW Cascade Avenue, parallel to Highway 217 and near the Cascade Plaza and Washington Square retail — and those businesses fence for different reasons than homeowners do. A retail or service tenant along the corridor may need a security-minded boundary, a screened enclosure for a dumpster or equipment yard, or a controlled gate that defines the lot. We handle that commercial & security fencing work alongside the residential jobs, on the same 24/7 line.
Commercial fencing near a busy arterial like Highway 217 puts a premium on durability and clean sightlines. Chain-link with privacy slats screens a service area without looking neglected; ornamental aluminum defines a customer-facing lot edge with curb appeal; and a properly hung commercial gate handles daily traffic without sagging. We build to the use the property needs, whether that is keeping a yard secure overnight or simply giving a storefront a tidy, defined boundary. For Cascade Ave businesses that need work fast, the 24/7 line means a leaning or damaged commercial fence does not have to wait.

There is a practical pattern to how Greenway yards get fenced, and it follows the park. Trail-side and park-edge lots want full 6-foot privacy in a rot-resistant material, placed to respect any creek or trail setback and set on footings built for damp ground. Interior residential streets fence much like the rest of the city — privacy in the back, low and open in front for the 3.5-foot limit, and a lower side run where a pet owner wants visibility. Along Cascade Avenue, the work shifts to security and screening fence for the businesses by Highway 217.
The Pacific Northwest climate sets the build standard, and the Fanno Creek drainage raises it on the lots near the park. Wet winters and creek-fed, tree-shaded ground keep the soil saturated, so footings have to be deep and well-drained, and rot-resistant cedar or vinyl is the material of choice for anyone who wants a fence to last on damp ground. We have built and rebuilt fences around this park and along its commercial edge long enough to know how the water moves and how to set a line that holds.
