## New Lot, Wobbly Fence? Bulverde Fence Problems We Fix

### First fences on new subdivision lots over stony clay

**The problem:** The builder left a bare backyard, or a thin fence with posts that already wobble after the first windy season.

**Why it happens here:** The city has grown more than 95 percent since 2000, and many of those new lots sit on stony clay over fractured limestone. A crew without rock gear sets posts short.

**What we do:** We check HOA and city rules, drill post holes into the rock, set each post in concrete, and build a cedar or pine privacy fence that stays straight.

### Posts that lean or wobble

Usually a post set too shallow, stopped short by rock or loosened by clay that swells and shrinks.

### Gates that sag or drag

A hinge post that has moved, or a gate hung without enough bracing for its width.

### Gray, split or loose boards

Sun and weather on bare wood. Repairs plus a fresh stain coat buy the fence years.

### Deer in the garden

A fence too short or a gate that leaves a gap at the ground. Deer find both.

Most of these are fixable without a full rebuild. See

## Its Own City, Its Own Rules. We Check Them First.

This is its own city in Comal County, east of Boerne along Hwy 46. Boerne's permit and site plan rules don't apply here. Construction permits and contractor registration go through the city's Office of Building Review and Inspection, so we check what applies to your fence before it goes up.

HOA rules matter a lot on subdivision lots. They can set the fence height, the material, the style of the top, and which side of the boards faces the street. We'd rather find that out before the estimate than after the posts are set.

On acreage outside the subdivisions, the rules are usually lighter, but it's still worth a quick check. We'll help you find out what applies to your property.

![Wood privacy fence along the back line of a Bulverde subdivision lot](https://placehold.co/800x500/F5F2EB/18221D?text=Wood+privacy+fence+along+the+back+line+of+a+Bulverde+subdivision+lot+with+rocky+ground+and+oaks)

## Rocky Lots Up Front, Long Drives Out Back

The ground here is rocky, plain and simple. Post holes hit limestone often, so we drill and set every post in concrete. On a sloped lot we either step the panels down the hill or rack them to follow the grade, depending on the style and what looks right from the house.

The work splits two ways. On subdivision lots it's mostly cedar or pine privacy fence along the back and sides, with iron across the front or around a pool. On acreage it's longer runs, pipe or wire fence, and a driveway gate at the road.

Long, sloped drives come up a lot on those bigger tracts. That slope decides whether a swing gate will clear the ground or whether a slide gate is the better fit, and it's one of the first things we look at when we walk the entry with you.

## Building Fences in Bulverde's Growing Subdivisions

Bulverde is a Comal County city east of Boerne, where **Hwy 46** meets **US 281**, with **Cibolo Creek** running just south of town. It has grown fast, from 3,761 people in 2000 to 5,692 in 2020, and a lot of that growth landed on new subdivision lots that still need a first fence.

Construction permits and contractor registration run through the city's **Office of Building Review and Inspection**, and HOAs in the newer subdivisions often set height, material and which side faces the street. We check both before the estimate is final.

Under the lots sits the stony clay and fractured limestone that the Comal County soil survey describes for these uplands. An auger stops short in it, so we drill post holes into the rock and set every post in concrete. On acreage outside the subdivisions, the work shifts to longer runs and a driveway gate at the road.

## What Bulverde Homeowners Ask Us

### Do you work inside Bulverde city limits?

Yes. The city's Office of Building Review and Inspection handles construction permits and contractor registration, and many subdivisions add HOA rules, so we check both before building.

### My HOA has fence rules. Can you build to them?

Yes. Send us the HOA guidelines or tell us what they require, and we'll build the height, style and finish they ask for.

### What does a privacy fence cost on a new subdivision lot?

A 6 ft pine or cedar privacy fence runs $25 to $45 per foot installed. For 150 ft that's $3,750 to $6,750; for 200 ft it's $5,000 to $9,000.

### Does the city require a fence between homes and a commercial lot?

Yes. Where commercial or industrial property abuts residential property, the city code calls for a solid wall or fence at least 6 ft tall, held to 30 inches in visibility triangles. We build 6 ft and 8 ft wood privacy fence to that height.

### Can you fix a fence that was built too shallow?

Yes. We reset leaning posts, drilled into the limestone where needed and set in concrete. Most repair jobs run $300 to $900; one post runs $250 to $500.

### What does an automatic driveway gate cost for acreage off Hwy 46?

An automatic driveway gate runs $3,000 to $12,000 installed complete; adding an opener to an existing gate runs $1,000 to $5,000. The slope of the drive decides swing or slide.

### Do you build pool fences?

Yes. Wrought iron or ornamental steel is a common choice around pools, at $40 to $75 per foot installed, with self-closing, self-latching gates.
