For a typical 100-linear-foot fence, a professional installation generally takes between 3 to 5 days. While we assign one dedicated crew to your project to ensure single-point accountability and consistent communication, the exact timeline can vary depending on several factors, including weather conditions, property access, and design complexity.
Our proven 10-step installation process is designed for durability in the Central Texas climate:
- Site Preparation and Foundation: We clear the fence line and set posts 12–18 inches deep in concrete to withstand shifting clay soils.
- Structural Build: We secure horizontal rails and then attach your chosen pickets, whether you have selected a board-on-board fence for complete privacy or a modern horizontal cedar fence.
- Custom Features: We hang and adjust custom gates for smooth operation and can integrate automatic gate systems if requested.
- Finishing: After the structure is complete, we recommend allowing new cedar to dry for 4–8 weeks before applying professional staining to protect your investment from the intense Texas sun.
As a family-owned and community-minded team, we manage every detail from permitting through the final walk-through to ensure high-quality workmanship.
