The local fence company for the homes and businesses bordering Tualatin Hills Nature Park in Five Oaks — cedar privacy, naturalistic wood, vinyl, and fence repair built for the wooded, wet edge of the preserve.
Tualatin Hills Nature Park is a 222-acre wildlife preserve at 15655 SW Millikan Way, and it is the defining green landmark of the Five Oaks area in the 97006 ZIP. Its forested trails, wetlands, and the Merlo Road MAX station near SW 158th Avenue sit at the heart of a neighborhood full of backyards, subdivisions, and office parks that all share an edge with the woods. When homeowners and business owners near Tualatin Hills Nature Park ask who installs fences along the preserve, the answer is Beaverton Fence Pro — the local crew that works the streets off Millikan Way and 158th Avenue every week.
To be clear, we serve the homes and businesses near the preserve, not the park itself. Single-family houses that back the greenspace, subdivisions off SW 158th and SW 170th, apartments and condos close to the Merlo MAX stop, and the light-industrial and office tenants along Millikan Way all need fencing built for the Pacific Northwest. We bring cedar privacy fencing, naturalistic wood fencing, low-maintenance vinyl, and gates to your property, set them to last against wet and shaded ground, and keep the job inside Beaverton's fence code. Call (855) 598-3288 any time — we answer 24/7.
Five Oaks is one of the more layered corners of the 97006 ZIP. You have older streets that were platted decades ago sitting next to newer infill subdivisions, and the office parks along Millikan Way share the same wooded back line as the houses one block over. That mix means no two fence jobs near the preserve look the same: one neighbor wants tall cedar privacy on a lot that drops toward the wetland, the next wants a low boundary that keeps the trees in view, and the office tenant down the street needs a clean perimeter that holds up with no upkeep. We have walked enough of these lots between Merlo Road and SW 170th Avenue to know which build the ground will actually support before we ever quote a number, and that is the difference between a fence that stands for years and one you call us back about after the first wet winter.
What fence works for a backyard that borders the nature park? The lots that back Tualatin Hills Nature Park want privacy without fighting the view — a fence that gives the family its own space while still feeling like part of the woods behind it. That is where naturalistic wood and cedar earn their keep along the greenspace edge.
A 6-foot cedar privacy fence is the go-to for homes backing the woods — full-height screening whose warm tone and natural grain sit comfortably against a forested backdrop.
Wood fencing in a board-on-board or spaced-picket style keeps a backyard feeling open to the trees while still marking a clear, sturdy boundary near the preserve.
Every post near the nature park goes in a concrete footing with proper drainage, because the damp, shaded soil along the wooded edge is what fails shallow-set fences first.
One thing the lots backing the preserve share is a property line that meets a public trail or wetland buffer rather than another fenced yard. That changes how the back run gets built — you want a finished face that looks right from your side, posts deep enough that nothing leans toward the woods, and a height that screens the yard without towering over the tree line. We also point homeowners toward styles that age well in shade: a board-on-board run, for example, hides the seasonal movement that comes with damp ground far better than a tight side-by-side panel that telegraphs every gap.
Whether you want full backyard privacy or a low boundary that keeps the trees in view, cedar privacy fence installation and wood fence installation are the two builds we install most around Tualatin Hills Nature Park.
From backyard cedar to fence repair along the wooded edge, here is what we install and repair for properties in the Five Oaks area.
Tree, wind, and wet-ground damage repaired fast along the nature park edge.
Can you install vinyl or wood fencing in Five Oaks? Yes — and the right material near the preserve depends on how wet and shaded your lot is. The wooded edge of Tualatin Hills Nature Park keeps ground damp and panels in shade, so material choice and post setting matter more here than almost anywhere else in Beaverton.
Post setting is where most of the difference shows up over time. On a typical Five Oaks lot near the wetland, we dig deeper than the minimum, set posts in concrete, and slope the footing so water drains away from the wood instead of pooling against it. Where the ground stays soft year-round, we will talk through pressure-treated posts under a cedar face, or vinyl posts with internal reinforcement, so the part of the fence in contact with wet soil is the part built to take it. Skip that step and you get the leaning, heaving, rotting fences that are common along this stretch — usually the result of shallow holes and bare posts dropped straight into the dirt.
We serve homeowners and the nearby light-industrial and office tenants along Millikan Way alike, framing every quote around the material that holds up best on your specific lot — not whatever is fastest to install.
Do you repair fences damaged by trees near the preserve? Yes — and quickly, because we are a local crew, not a dispatch from across the metro. The wooded edge of Tualatin Hills Nature Park delivers the two things that break fences most: long stretches of saturated, shaded ground that loosen shallow posts, and winter windstorms that drop limbs and push on panels backing the trees. Homes near the nature park see both. When a section leans after a storm, a falling branch cracks a rail, or a gate stops latching, we come out, assess whether a repair or a replacement run makes more sense, and get your boundary sound again. For leaning posts, broken rails, sagging gates, and tree-struck panels, fence repair is a same-area call away.
After a storm we look at the whole run, not just the section that took the hit. A limb that snaps one panel often loosens the posts on either side, and a gust that pushed a fence out of plumb has usually worked the same stress into the next few bays. We will tell you straight whether a couple of posts and panels will set the fence right or whether the back line has reached the point where a fresh run costs less than chasing repairs season after season. For the office and light-industrial tenants along Millikan Way, we also keep damaged perimeter and gate sections secure on the first visit so the property stays closed off while the full repair is scheduled.
Which streets near the nature park do we serve? The short answer is all of them in this corner of 97006. Our work centers on the residential and commercial streets that ring the preserve: the homes off SW Millikan Way and SW 158th Avenue, the subdivisions along SW Merlo Road near the MAX station, and the blocks reaching west toward SW 170th Avenue. From there we cover the rest of Five Oaks, including the streets near Triple Creek and out along the West Beaverton edge. With Highway 26 and the MAX line both close at hand, reaching any property near the park is fast.
Because Five Oaks grew up around the preserve, many lots here have aging wood fences that are due for replacement rather than another patch — especially the ones that have spent years against the damp, shaded back line. We can match an existing style so a new run blends with what is already there, or rebuild a tired fence in fresh cedar that suits the woods behind it. If you are weighing your options, our broader pages for fencing in Five Oaks and the city-wide overview of fencing in Beaverton lay out what works best by area. You can also browse every neighborhood we serve from the Beaverton service areas directory, or look at the sibling landmark just across Five Oaks at fencing near the HMT Complex.
The streets nearest the trail entrance off Merlo Road and SW 158th Avenue tend to send us the most calls, since those are the lots most likely to back the woods or sit on the wetland-fed low ground. From there our day runs out along SW 170th Avenue and toward the West Beaverton edge near Triple Creek, where the subdivisions are a bit newer but the soil behaves much the same. Being based in the area means we can stage a crew for a morning install on one block and swing back to a storm-damage repair two streets over the same afternoon, without an across-town drive eating the day. That tight coverage is part of why we can keep estimate-to-build timelines short for properties around the preserve.
Anyone can quote a fence. What separates a fence that lasts a decade from one that leans in two winters is whether the installer understands this specific ground. The land along Tualatin Hills Nature Park is the wettest, most shaded soil in the area — the kind that punishes shortcuts like posts set too shallow, footings without drainage, or untreated lumber against wet earth. We build for that reality on every job near the preserve, which is why our fences hold their line through the wettest Beaverton winters. When you are ready to move from research to a real estimate, the next step is the transactional page for fence installation near Tualatin Hills Nature Park, or simply call (855) 598-3288. We will walk your property, talk through code and materials, and give you a clear, no-pressure estimate.
A local crew also reads the small things that a one-size quote misses: which way your lot drains, whether the back line sits inside a wetland buffer, how much shade keeps a panel damp through the day, and what your neighbors on the same wooded run have already built. Those details decide how a fence is set, not just how it looks. We have built enough boundaries between Millikan Way and SW 170th Avenue to fold all of it into the plan before the first post goes in the ground.
An estimate near the nature park starts on site, not over the phone. We walk the boundary with you, find the property corners, and look hard at the conditions that drive cost and longevity here — ground that holds water, shade that never fully dries a panel, slope toward the wetland, and any spot where a fence meets the trail or buffer rather than another yard. We talk through what height your back, side, and street-facing runs are allowed under Beaverton code, and we flag anything on your plat or HOA back line that could shape the build before it becomes a surprise.
From there you get a clear plan: the material that suits your lot, how the posts will be set for the wet, shaded ground, where gates and access runs make sense, and how the new fence will sit against the woods behind it. There is no pressure and no obligation — just a straight read of what your property needs and what it takes to do it right. When you are ready to start, one call to (855) 598-3288 gets a Five Oaks crew on your schedule.
