A Property That
Feels Like Yours.

Cedar privacy fencing is the foundation of our work. Most residential privacy fences in Central Texas are cedar — it performs well in this climate, holds stain well, and suits the majority of residential applications. We also build in composite and powder-coated steel for projects where material requirements or longevity goals call for something different. We'll recommend the right specification based on your site, your priorities, and how much ongoing maintenance you want to account for.

Standard privacy fencing in Austin is typically 6 feet. Eight-foot fences are available for specific applications and are increasingly common in areas where additional privacy or sound reduction matters. City ordinances, HOA guidelines, and where the fence sits on your lot all affect what's permitted. We review all of these before anything is finalized — height is part of the scope conversation from the start, not an afterthought.

In most cases within Austin and the surrounding municipalities, fences above a certain height require a permit. Requirements vary by jurisdiction — what applies in Austin proper may differ in West Lake Hills, Lakeway, or Bee Cave. We handle the research and permitting process for every project. You won't need to navigate city portals or figure out which rules apply to your address.

We work within HOA requirements on a regular basis. Before we finalize any design, we review your HOA's architectural guidelines so that what we specify meets their requirements from the beginning. If your HOA requires approval drawings, material specifications, or a formal submission package, we provide the documentation. HOA review periods are factored into the project timeline from the start — not a delay that catches you off guard.

A properly constructed cedar fence — correct post depth, appropriately sized posts, quality lumber — can last 15 to 20 years in Central Texas. Staining or sealing every three to five years extends that lifespan and preserves the appearance. The most common reason cedar fences fail early isn't the wood. It's underbuilt framing, insufficient post depth, or posts set in conditions that trap moisture. We don't cut those corners.

Cedar is naturally rot-resistant and requires considerably less maintenance than most materials. Left untreated, it weathers to a silver-grey tone — which many homeowners prefer. If you want to preserve the warm wood color or add moisture protection, a stain or sealant every three to five years handles that. We'll walk you through both approaches so you can decide what fits how you want the fence to look and perform over time.

Yes — and we build them as part of the fence, not as add-ons. Every gate is custom-built to match the material, proportions, and hardware finish of the fence. Pedestrian gates, double drive gates, pool access gates, and side yard entries are all within our standard scope. Hardware is specified for the actual application, not selected from a catalog of generic options.

We work from a current survey or from a survey you provide. We don't begin installation until the boundary is confirmed — placing a fence on the wrong side of a property line creates problems that are expensive and disruptive to correct. If you don't have a current survey, we can discuss your options before the project moves forward.

Most residential fence installations complete in one to two days. The timeline we give you accounts for any permitting or HOA review period — those aren't surprises that delay your start date, they're part of the schedule from the beginning. From signed proposal to installation, a typical project moves to the field within two to four weeks, depending on scope and permit timing.

We begin with a site consultation to understand the scope, the goals, and any constraints. From there we provide a detailed proposal with material specifications and exact pricing. Once approved, we handle permitting and any HOA submissions and schedule the installation. We clean up completely after ourselves and walk the finished work with you before we consider the job closed.
