What should I have ready before your crew shows up?

2026-04-24T06:30:14-05:00

A few things help us hit the ground running: utilities marked (811 does this for free), pets indoors, and gates or side access cleared for wheelbarrows. If your HOA requires a posted approval copy, have that handy. We handle the rest.

Will the fence hold up in the kind of clay soil most Austin yards have?

2026-04-24T06:30:23-05:00

Yes. We set posts deeper, use concrete footings sized for the load, and recommend steel posts where clay movement is severe. These small adjustments are why our fences stay straight through years of Central Texas wet-dry cycles.

How soon can you start once I accept the estimate?

2026-04-24T06:26:52-05:00

Scheduling depends on the time of year. Spring is our busiest season after storms roll through, so lead times can stretch to a few weeks. Fall and winter are often quicker. We'll tell you your start date before you sign.
