FAQ
How much does a new fence cost in Texas?
Wood privacy fences run about $25–$45 per linear foot installed; cedar and ornamental iron $40–$60+. A standard quarter-acre backyard often lands between $3,500 and $7,000. Always get a per-linear-foot written quote with post depth and material grade.
Do I need a permit or HOA approval to build a fence in Texas?
Many Texas cities require a permit for fences over a certain height, and most HOAs require color/style approval. A good contractor will know your city's rules and help with the survey/property line — confirm this is included before work starts.
How deep should fence posts be set in Texas soil?
Texas's expansive clay heaves with moisture, so posts should be set in concrete at least 2 feet deep (more for tall or windy sites). Shallow or dirt-set posts are the #1 reason fences lean within a year — ask how they set posts.
