Modern Metal Fencing in Sonoma County: Why We Install SleekFence
A fence does a lot more than mark a property line. It gives you privacy, keeps pets and kids where they belong, blocks wind and noise, and frames the whole landscape. It’s also one of the first things people notice when they pull up. A tired, leaning wood fence can make even a beautiful yard look neglected, while the right fence makes everything around it look better.
At Scott Anderson Landscaping, we offer and install SleekFence metal fencing for our customers. Here’s what makes it different and why we think it’s such a good fit for properties in Sonoma and Napa.
Who is SleekFence?
SleekFence comes from a family that spent more than 40 years installing fences, including wood, vinyl, and custom systems. Over time, they saw the same problems again and again: materials that failed, inconsistent designs, and custom work that took too long. So they set out to build a better fence from the ground up.
The result is a line of aluminum fence systems for both residential and commercial properties. The panels are assembled at the factory into modular units, which means less guesswork and variation during installation. Their fencing has been used on projects ranging from medical centers to condominiums to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Southern California.
Built from aluminum, made to last
Every SleekFence system is made from 6063-T6 aluminum, a material that holds up well against bending, cracking, and denting, and is finished with a heavy-duty powder coat. Before the finish goes on, the aluminum goes through a pretreatment process that helps protect it from the elements and keeps it looking consistent for years.
That matters for a few reasons.
It won’t rot. Wood fences eventually break down from moisture, sun, and insects. Aluminum doesn’t, and it won’t rust or ignite either.
It holds its look. There’s no annual staining, sealing, or painting, and no warped or split boards to replace.
It’s built as a complete system. Posts, panels, gates, and hardware are all engineered to work together, so everything lines up structurally and visually.
For homeowners who are tired of repairing or replacing wood fencing every few years, that durability is a big deal.
Fire-conscious fencing for wine country
Anyone who lives in Sonoma or Napa knows how seriously we have to take wildfire. Wood fences can carry fire from one part of a property to another, sometimes right up to the house.
Because aluminum doesn’t burn, SleekFence supports fire-conscious landscape design. Their materials meet ASTM E84 Class A surface burning standards and are suitable for wildland-urban interface (WUI) areas, which covers a lot of properties in our hills and canyons.
If you’re thinking about defensible space around your home, replacing wood fencing near the house is worth considering.
Built for wind and weather
Fences take a beating from wind, especially solid privacy fences that act like a sail. SleekFence configurations have been tested for wind loads up to 160 miles per hour. Their finishes are also designed to hold up in coastal and corrosive environments, a good sign for durability here inland, where our fences deal with hot summers, wet winters, and irrigation overspray.
Find your level of privacy
Not every fence needs to do the same job. Sometimes you want complete separation from a neighbor or a busy road. Other times you want to define a space without closing it off.
SleekFence’s Lineara series offers three options:
Full Privacy: Continuous horizontal profiles create a solid fence surface for complete privacy.
Semi Privacy: Spaced horizontal profiles let light and air through while still defining the boundary. This is a great choice around gardens and planting beds, or for screening off trash bins and pool equipment.
Privacy Hybrid: Mostly solid, with a semi-privacy band at the top that lets in light and airflow.
For something with more visual character, the Shadora series uses layered, shadow-box profiles that play with light and shadow while still providing complete privacy. It comes in both horizontal and vertical styles.
A quieter yard
Solid privacy fencing can help cut down on noise too. SleekFence’s privacy panels have a sound transmission class (STC) rating of 25. If you live near a busy road or a neighbor’s noisy pool pump, that’s a nice bonus.
Finishes and sizes
SleekFence is best known for its modern black finish, but it’s also available in white, and the company has projects featuring a wood-grain finish that gives you the warmth of wood without the upkeep.
Panels come standard in heights of 46, 69, and 92 inches, and they can be customized to whatever height your project needs. That flexibility is especially helpful on sloped or uneven properties, which we work on all the time.
Gates that match
A fence is only as good as its gates. SleekFence’s gate systems carry the same design as the fence, so your fence line looks consistent from end to end. Beyond standard pedestrian gates, they build custom gates in-house in three styles: swing, cantilever, and rolling. Swing and cantilever gates float above the ground, while rolling gates glide along a track, which makes them a great option for driveways.
Why fencing belongs in the landscape plan
We think of fencing as part of the landscape, not something separate from it. Where a fence goes, how tall it is, and how much light it lets through all affect the plantings, lighting, and hardscape around it.
When we install SleekFence as part of a larger project, we plan it alongside everything else. Planting beds can soften the fence line. Lighting can highlight it at night. Gates go where you’ll actually use them. That’s the difference between a fence that just sits there and one that makes the whole yard feel finished.
It’s the same approach we take on every project. We start by understanding what you need, whether that’s privacy, a safe space for your dog, better fire protection, or a cleaner look, and build from there.
