Best for backyard privacy and value. Cedar looks premium; pine saves money.
Best for front yards, pools, and curb appeal — secure without blocking the view.
Best for budget, pets, and property lines. Vinyl-coated looks far nicer.
Don't forget matching walk and drive gates — and automatic options.
Our expansive clay soil and strong storms are hard on fences. The single biggest factor in whether a fence lasts is post depth and concrete footings. Cheap installs skimp here — and those are the fences leaning within a couple of years.
Cedar naturally resists rot and insects and ages beautifully. Treated pine costs less up front. Ornamental iron and aluminum cost more but last decades with almost no maintenance. We'll help you weigh looks, budget, and longevity.
For privacy and value, cedar board-on-board is the most popular choice in North Texas — it looks great and lasts 15–20+ years when properly built. For front yards and pools, ornamental iron or aluminum is ideal. For budget or pet containment, chain link wins.
In North Texas clay, posts should be set roughly a third of their above-ground height deep and locked in concrete footings. Shallow or un-concreted posts are the #1 reason fences lean and fail early.
A properly built cedar fence lasts 15–20+ years, ornamental iron 30+ years, and chain link decades. Build quality — especially post depth and footings — matters more than the material.
