EXPERT FENCE INSTALLATION in Austin, TX

Custom cedar fences, privacy fences, and steel-post installations built by people who know the difference between getting it done and getting it done correctly.

Durable Fencing Options for Your Home

A new fence is a serious investment in your property’s privacy, security, and long-term value. That is why our fence installation process starts with the structure behind the finished look. We emphasize proper layout, correct post depth, clean lines, strong bracing, and premium materials that are up for the job.

We install cedar, modern horizontal, board-on-board, steel-post fence systems for Austin-area homes. Whether you want more privacy, better curb appeal, a cleaner property line, or a replacement for a fence that has started to lean or fail, we develop each project around your specific goals and property. Our designs are never “one size fits all.”

Austin yards deal with clay soil, heat, frequent storms, and everyday wear and tear, so the details of a fencing project matter. At Pickets, every post, rail, fastener, gate, and picket is installed with long-term performance in mind. Our goal is to deliver a finished product that provides your family with complete privacy and peace of mind for years to come.

Fence Installation FAQs

Common questions about our fence installations in Austin.

How long does the typical fence installation take from start to finish?

Most standard residential fence installations take 2–4 days once construction begins, depending on factors such as the project size, fence style, site access, weather, and terrain. Before installation starts, we confirm the layout and other details so you know what to expect.

Do I need to obtain a permit or talk to my HOA before installation?

It depends. Many standard residential fence installations do not require a city permit, but requirements can vary based on location, easements, setbacks, and other special restrictions. If your home is part of an HOA, it is best to confirm approval requirements before installation. Pickets can provide the fence style, height, material, and layout details you may need for that approval.

How deep do you set your posts, and how do you handle Austin’s rocky soil?

Details such as fence height, soil conditions, and material type can affect the required depth, but every post is set with stability in mind. Austin yards are often marked by clay soil, limestone, rocks, sloped terrain, and drainage challenges, so we do not treat every fence line the same. Our crew evaluates the site before work begins, adjusts for ground conditions, and sets posts in concrete where needed to create a stronger foundation.

What kind of warranty do you offer on your fence installations?

Pickets backs installation work with a 5-year warranty. If something needs attention after the project is complete, you can call us for support. No disappearing act. No handoff to someone who has never seen your yard. Just top-quality customer service.

How do you handle utility lines and irrigation systems on my property?

Contacting Texas 811 several days before digging helps utility companies mark underground lines and prevent damage. Fence work is specifically listed as a reason to submit a request.

For irrigation, private drainage, lighting, invisible dog fences, or other homeowner-installed systems, please note anything you know about them before work begins. Public utility marking does not always identify every private line on a property, so clear communication helps us protect your yard and avoid potential issues.
