Step 1 of 2

Takes about two minutes.

A wood privacy fence is still the most common backyard fence in Houston: it closes off the yard, keeps the dog in and costs less up front than iron or vinyl. Cedar holds up better against rot and insects and turns silver gray if you leave it unstained. Pressure-treated pine costs less and takes stain well.

What makes a wood fence last here is what you don't see. Houston clay swells after rain and shrinks in a drought, and a shallow post works its way out of line within a few summers. That is why we set posts in concrete and pay attention to depth, spacing and the rails, not only to the boards on the outside.

Inside the City of Houston, a fence 8 feet tall or less does not need a city permit. HOAs and deed restrictions often set their own height, style and color rules, so if you are in an HOA, get their approval first and we build to what they approved.

Open the instant estimate

This is not a quote. It is an approximate range so you know what to expect. The exact price is set only after a free visit to see your property, because the ground, slope, access and the old fence all change the cost. You never pay anything you have not approved first.

What's included

Side-by-side privacy

Boards set edge to edge. The classic backyard fence and the lowest cost per foot.

Board-on-board

Overlapping boards, so no gaps open up when the wood shrinks.

Cap and trim

A top cap and trim board give a finished look and shed water off the top of the boards.

Gates to match

Walk gates and double drive gates built on a frame that won't sag.

Free estimate
Cedar or pine for a fence in Houston?

Cedar costs more but resists rot and insects better. Pressure-treated pine is the budget choice and lasts longer if it is sealed or stained. Both work; it comes down to budget and how much upkeep you want.

Can you replace my old fence?

Yes. We take the old fence down, haul it away and build the new one. Removal usually adds a few dollars per foot to the price.

Do I need a permit for an 8 ft wood fence in Houston?

Not inside the City of Houston: fences 8 feet or less don't need a city permit. Taller fences do. Other cities around Houston and HOAs have their own rules.
