Fencing Built for Kendall County Rock and Clay

Rock auger drilling a fence post hole into Kendall County limestone

Building a fence around Boerne isn't like building one on flat, soft ground. The uplands are shallow, stony soil sitting on Hill Country limestone, and post holes hit rock often. Down on the creek terraces it's loamy clay that swells and shrinks with the weather. A post set too shallow in either one will lean within a few seasons.

So we drill into the rock and set posts in concrete, deep enough for the fence they carry. We also plan around the local rules: inside city limits, the City of Boerne fence permit needs an application and a site plan, Fair Oaks Ranch runs its own permits, and Boerne's permitting office oversees oak wilt rules when post holes go in near live oaks.

We've been doing this for over 15 years. We're licensed and insured, every estimate is free, and the prices on this site are the same ones you'll see on your estimate.

Eight Kinds of Fence and Gate Work, One Crew

From a single leaning post to a mile of game fence. Every card shows the installed price range.

Posts Set in Limestone, Boards Hung Straight

A cedar privacy fence is only as good as what's holding it up. We drill post holes into the rock when that's what's down there, set every post in concrete, and pull a string line so the fence runs straight. On slopes we step or rack the panels to follow the ground. Then the rails, kickboard and pickets go on with galvanized fasteners, in 6 ft or 8 ft, standard, board-on-board, horizontal or cap-and-trim.

Driveway Gates That Open Every Morning

An automatic driveway gate is a gate, heavy hinge posts or a track, an operator, a keypad and remotes, and safety sensors, all working together. We hang swing gates where there's room and slide gates where a sloped drive won't let a swing clear. Ranch entries with no power at the road get a solar-powered operator with battery backup. Already have a gate you like? We can add an opener to it.

See the service page

Who owns the fence between two houses in Texas? Is there a good-neighbor fence law?

Texas has no statewide good-neighbor fence law that makes neighbors split the cost of a fence between homes. A fence generally belongs to the owner whose land it sits on, unless a written agreement, deed restriction or HOA rule says otherwise. This is general information, not legal advice.

What is the best time of year to install a fence?

Fall through spring is the most comfortable stretch to build in the Hill Country, but we build year-round. Inside Boerne or Fair Oaks Ranch city limits, leave time for the permit before the start date.

Do I need a permit for a fence in Boerne?

Yes, inside Boerne city limits. The City of Boerne requires a permit application with a site plan showing where the fence will go, and contractors must be registered with the city to work inside city limits. Fair Oaks Ranch runs its own permits for new fences and additions.

How deep should fence posts go?

Most 6 ft fence posts go about 2 to 3 feet deep, with gate posts and 8 ft fences going deeper. On the stony uplands the hole often hits limestone, so we drill into the rock and set the post in concrete.
