Serving Ridgecrest, CA and surrounding areas. (442) 294-1830
Advanced Ridgecrest Fence is a fence contractor serving Mojave, CA with automatic gate installation, wood and vinyl fencing, chain link, and fence repair. We have been serving Kern County communities since 2019 and respond to every estimate request within one business day.
Mojave homeowners with detached garages, workshop outbuildings, or long driveways get the most out of a gate that opens without requiring them to step out in the summer heat or winter cold every time they come home. Automatic gate installation pairs well with the existing fencing on most Mojave properties and adds a layer of vehicle access control that matters in a community where most residents are homeowners who have invested in their properties long-term.
The ranch-style homes that make up most of Mojave's housing stock are a natural fit for wood fencing in both scale and character. The challenge in this part of the high desert is the combination of extreme UV, low humidity, and strong Tehachapi Pass winds that dry out and crack untreated wood within a few seasons - we use pressure-treated lumber and UV-resistant sealer on every wood fence we install here to give it a fighting chance against those conditions.
Vinyl is one of the most popular choices for Mojave homeowners who want a fence that holds its appearance without regular maintenance. It does not absorb UV the way wood does, does not rust like steel, and does not require painting or staining to stay in good shape - which makes it a sensible long-term choice for a home in a climate that puts continuous stress on exterior surfaces year-round.
Mojave sits at the foot of the Tehachapi Pass, which funnels some of the strongest sustained winds in California directly through town. Chain link is the most wind-tolerant fence option available because the open mesh lets air through rather than acting as a solid sail that loads lateral force onto posts set in the sandy, loose desert soil common throughout the Mojave area.
With most homes in Mojave built between the 1950s and 1980s, a lot of fencing in this town is aging - and the high desert environment has not been easy on it. A leaning post, a dragging gate, or a wind-damaged panel that gets repaired early stays in service for years more, while the same damage left alone typically spreads to adjacent posts and turns a repair job into a replacement project.
Mojave neighborhoods near the Air and Space Port and along the Highway 58 corridor have enough foot and vehicle traffic that a solid privacy fence makes a noticeable difference in how usable the backyard feels. In a high-wind environment, a well-installed privacy fence also cuts down on the blowing dust and sand that gets pushed onto patios and into outdoor living areas during strong desert windstorms.
Mojave sits at nearly 2,800 feet in the high Mojave Desert, where the climate is genuinely demanding in a way that surprises people who only think of it as a hot place. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and the UV intensity at this elevation degrades exterior coatings, fades painted surfaces, and dries out wood faster than at lower elevations. The wind coming through the Tehachapi Pass is strong year-round, and it carries fine desert sand that scours fence surfaces, works into gate hardware, and accelerates corrosion on metal components that were not specified for this environment. The sandy, loose soil common throughout the Mojave area does not grip fence posts as firmly as clay-heavy soils do, so posts need deeper concrete footings than would be standard in a wetter climate.
Winter in Mojave catches some homeowners off guard. Overnight temperatures drop into the 20s Fahrenheit several times each winter, hard enough to freeze uninsulated pipes and shift the sandy desert soil through repeated freeze-thaw cycles. That same cycle gradually heaves fence post footings that were not installed deep enough, causing posts to lean and panels to sag within a few seasons. The mix of aging housing stock - most Mojave homes were built between the 1950s and 1980s - and a climate that puts continuous stress on exterior materials means that fencing in this town gets worn down faster than in most California communities. A fence contractor who knows Mojave builds for those specific conditions rather than applying a standard approach designed for a milder climate.
Our crew works throughout Mojave regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect fence contractor work here. Mojave is an unincorporated community, so fence permits fall under Kern County Building and Safety rather than a city department. Knowing the county permit process and the exemption rules for standard residential heights means we can tell you at the estimate stage whether your project needs county review or can proceed without one.
Mojave sits where Highway 58 and Highway 14 meet in the high desert - that intersection is essentially the center of town for most people who live here. The neighborhoods closest to the Mojave Air and Space Port to the north tend to have a mix of owner-occupied homes and rentals tied to aerospace workers. Streets on the west side of town toward the old Route 66 corridor have some of the oldest housing in the community - these are the properties most likely to have original fencing that has not been touched in decades. The wind turbines visible on the ridgeline to the northwest are part of the Tehachapi Pass Wind Farm, and they are a useful reminder that this community lives with some of the strongest sustained winds in California.
From Mojave we also serve the community of Tehachapi to the northwest and work throughout this part of the Antelope Valley, so we are familiar with the road network and property conditions across the broader region.
Call us directly or fill out the contact form online. We respond to every Mojave estimate request within one business day - no waiting a week to hear back from someone who may or may not show up.
We come to your Mojave property to measure the fence line and look at the soil and site conditions before we price the job. The written estimate reflects what your specific property needs - post depth, material selection for the wind exposure, and any soil or grade factors - not a generic per-foot rate. No charge for the visit.
We set a start date and stick to it. Most residential fence projects in Mojave take one to three days. Gate installations with electrical components run slightly longer. You will know the timeline before we start so you can plan around it.
When the job is finished, we walk the completed fence with you so you can confirm gates operate correctly, posts are plumb, and the fence runs where it was planned. Any items that need adjustment are handled on the spot before we pack up.

(442) 294-1830Mojave is an unincorporated community in Kern County with a population of roughly 4,000 to 4,500 residents, sitting at nearly 2,800 feet in the high Mojave Desert where Highway 58 and Highway 14 converge. The town grew up around the railroad and early aerospace activity, and today it is home to the Mojave Air and Space Port, one of the first FAA-licensed commercial spaceports in the United States. Many residents work in aerospace, aviation, or the energy industry - the wind turbines of the Tehachapi Pass Wind Farm line the ridgeline to the northwest and are visible from most parts of town. The housing stock is primarily single-story ranch-style homes built between the 1950s and 1980s, a mix of owner-occupied properties and rentals, with some manufactured homes scattered throughout the community.
The older residential streets on the west side of town near the original highway corridor are where some of the most established neighborhoods sit, with long-term residents who have owned their homes for decades. Newer development pushed out toward the edges of the community as the workforce at the air and space port grew. The nearby community of Tehachapi is about 20 miles to the northwest along Highway 58 and has a different character - cooler, greener, and more rural - but both communities deal with the same high winds and wide daily temperature swings that define life at this elevation.
