Our 5-Step Turnkey Installation Process

From Texas 811 utility marking to post-concrete curing, we handle every phase with pinpoint precision.

1

On-Site Survey & Utility Line Locate

We measure linear footage, establish property corners, and coordinate Texas811 utility locates for underground gas, electric, and water lines.

2

Tear-Off & Clean Removal

We safely remove and haul away your old fence, pulling up rotted wooden posts and cleaning the fenceline down to the grade.

3

36-Inch Steel Post Setting

We auger 36-inch deep holes to reach solid ground beneath shifting surface clay, setting heavy galvanized steel posts in commercial concrete.

4

Framework, Rot Board & Pickets

We frame 2x4 cedar horizontal rails, install heavy 2x6 pressure-treated rot boards against the soil, and nail cedar pickets with stainless fasteners.

5

Custom Gates & Clean-Up

We build steel-framed sag-proof gates, install commercial hardware, run magnetic sweeps for stray fasteners, and perform a final walk-through.

DFW Fence Installation FAQs

Everything you need to know about post depth, wood grades, permits, and gate automation.

Western Red Cedar has natural oils that protect against rotting, insect damage, and extreme North Texas sun exposure. While pressure-treated pine shrinks, cups, and splits under 100°F+ Texas summers, cedar remains straight and true for decades.

Dallas-Fort Worth is notorious for expansive black clay soils that swell in winter rains and shrink drastically in summer droughts. Shallow posts (18–24 inches) quickly lean or heave. Our 36-inch deep augered holes anchor into stable substrate below the soil moisture shift line.

Most standard residential backyard fences (150 to 300 linear feet) are fully completed in 2 days. Day 1 consists of tear-off, post hole drilling, and setting steel posts in concrete. Day 2 involves framing horizontal 2x4 rails, rot boards, pickets, custom gates, and magnetic nail sweeps.

Yes, absolutely. Prior to drilling any post holes, we submit utility locate tickets to Texas811 to have public gas lines, power conduits, and telecommunication cables professionally marked with paint and flags.
