The fence styles we build, and when each one fits.

A six-foot cedar privacy fence is the workhorse of San Antonio backyards: full screening, a clean look, and a price most HOAs and budgets accept without a fight. Horizontal board fencing is the modern upgrade, with wider planks and tight reveals that read as a design feature rather than a boundary. Wrought iron and steel fencing keep sightlines open, which is the right call for view lots, pool enclosures, and front yards.

Most homes are not a single style. We often run cedar privacy along the side and back lines, then switch to iron across a front or view-facing section. At the consult we walk the whole property line and map the fence to how each part of the yard is actually used.

Cedar, steel, and the honest tradeoffs.

Western red cedar is our default privacy material because it resists warping, cupping, and insects far better than pressure-treated pine in the Texas climate. Left untreated it silvers gracefully. Sealed and stained, it holds a warm tone for years. Either way, cedar earns its place.

For fencing that should outlive the house, wrought iron and welded steel are the answer. We fabricate iron fencing in-house, finish it for long Texas UV life, and design it to carry the same picket spacing and top detail as your gates and railings. We will tell you plainly which material fits your budget and your maintenance tolerance.

03 / 06

Built for Texas heat, wind, and limestone ground.

A fence fails at the posts. We core-drill through limestone to the depth the soil and wind load actually require, then set posts in concrete sized for your lot, not a generic minimum. On exposed and acreage lots we add post depth and bracing where wind uplift is worst.

Picket gaps, rail count, and hardware are all specced for the Texas climate so the fence does not sag, lean, or rattle through the first round of spring storms. We build it once, and we build it to stay straight.

04 / 06

Gates and access designed in from the start.

A fence is only as good as the gate you use every day. We build walk gates and double drive gates with sag-proof bracing, smooth-swing hinges, and hardware rated for daily Texas use. Where you want a custom steel or iron driveway gate, our metalwork shop fabricates it to match the fence.

If automation is on the horizon, we frame the opening and set the posts so an operator can be added later without rebuilding the entrance. You tell us how you move through the property, and we design the access around it.

05 / 06

HOA submissions handled for you.

Most San Antonio HOAs require an Architectural Control Committee review before a fence goes up, with a defined style, height, material, and sometimes a stain color. We prepare the submission package in the language your HOA expects and handle the back-and-forth so you are not chasing paperwork.

We also confirm city and county rules for corner lots, easements, and pool-enclosure code, and we call 811 for utility locates before any post hole is dug. Approvals and locates are part of the job, not your homework.

06 / 06

A clear scope, a fixed price, and a clean site.

Every fence project starts with a written, fixed-price scope: material, height, post spacing, gate count, and removal of the old fence if there is one. The number you sign is the number you pay.

A tight crew builds on a written schedule, hauls away old material, and leaves the yard clean. We register the applicable cedar, steel, and hardware warranties in your name and hand you the paperwork at the final walkthrough.
