Frequently Asked Questions
For most residential lots in the City of Austin and Travis County, side and rear fences can run up to 6 feet, while front-yard fences are typically limited to 4 feet. Corner lots, special districts, and HOA overlays can change those numbers, so we always verify your specific zoning and deed restrictions before we build.
Standard residential fences at or below code height usually do not require a building permit through Austin Development Services, but taller fences, fences in floodplains, and fences inside historic districts can. If your property is in an HOA community like Lakeway, Westlake, Bee Cave, Steiner Ranch, or Round Rock, you almost always need architectural review approval. We handle the paperwork on every job we install.
Properly built cedar fences in Austin typically last 15 to 25 years, while powder-coated steel or aluminum can run 30 plus years before serious refurbishment. Cedar gives you warmth, smell, and easy repairs, but the Texas sun is brutal on pickets. Metal costs more up front and stands up to UV and wildfire risk better. We help you pick based on your property, your view, and your budget.
On west Travis County jobs where we hit caliche or solid limestone, we core down to a minimum of 24 inches and often 30 to 36 inches on taller and gate posts. We use rock-rated augers, set with high-strength concrete, and crown the top of every footing so water sheds away from the post. Skipping this step is the number one reason cheap fences lean within a couple of years.
Yes. We have submitted fence packages to architectural review committees across Lakeway, Westlake, Steiner Ranch, Bee Cave, Round Rock, and many smaller Hill Country communities. We provide the drawings, materials list, stain samples, and neighbor notification forms most HOAs require, then track the approval through to a green light.
A well-built Western Red Cedar or rough-cut Texas cedar fence in Austin typically lasts 15 to 25 years. Pine and untreated spruce fences usually fail in 7 to 10 years thanks to UV breakdown, summer heat, and shifting clay soils. Staining or sealing every 2 to 3 years adds significant life, especially on south and west-facing runs.
We do. For true exclusion of white-tailed deer in Dripping Springs, Driftwood, and the rest of the Hill Country, we install 8-foot perimeter fencing per Texas Parks and Wildlife guidance, typically using high-tensile woven wire or a layered cedar plus wire combination. We can also do shorter angled or double-fence designs where an 8-foot wall would block a view.
Call us at (512) 503-1935 or fill out the contact form on this site. We come out, walk the property line, check for caliche and existing utilities, talk through HOA and code constraints, and put together an itemized quote within a couple of business days. On-site estimates are always free.
