Sagging Ranch Fence Around Comfort? Here Is Why
Ranch corners that will not hold in shallow, stony clay
The problem: A long wire run around the pasture goes slack, the corner posts lean in, and the braces pull loose after a season or two.
Why it happens here: The soil series named for this town is only 10 to 20 inches of very stony clay over hard limestone. A corner dug by hand never reaches solid footing.
What we do: We rebuild the corners and braces first, drilled into the limestone and set in concrete, then restretch the wire or replace it with pipe and ranch fencing sized for your stock.
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 fence repair for what a fix costs.

No City Permit Office, but Still Worth a Check
The town isn't an incorporated city, so the City of Boerne permit and site plan rules don't reach it. That doesn't mean there's nothing to check. We look at what the county and any deed restrictions say before we build, and we'll help you figure out what applies to your land.
The town sits northwest of Boerne up I-10, which keeps it an easy run for our crew and equipment, including the drilling gear we need for rock.
Two Kinds of Ground, Two Ways to Set a Post
Around town you'll find stony uplands with limestone close to the surface, and lower creek terraces with deeper loamy clay. They need different handling. On the rock we drill and set posts in concrete. In the clay, depth and concrete matter even more, because clay swells and shrinks with moisture and will push a shallow post out of line.
On ranch land, the corners and braces carry the whole fence. We set them solid first, then stretch the wire, so a long run stays tight for years instead of sagging after one season.

Fencing Comfort's Historic Lots and Big Ranches
Comfort was founded by German immigrants in 1854 and sits on the north side of Cypress Creek, where it joins the Guadalupe River, at the I-10 and US 87 interchange. It's unincorporated, so Boerne's city permit rules don't apply; we check county rules and any deed restrictions before building.
The old downtown holds more than 100 structures from the 19th century, and in-town lots there call for a fence that suits the street: picket, iron or a low wood fence. Outside town it's large ranches, which means pipe, wire and deer fence over long runs.
The ground even shares the town's name. The Comfort soil series, first described in Kendall County, is 10 to 20 inches of very stony clay over hard limestone. Posts can't go deep in it by digging alone, so we drill the corners and braces into the limestone and set them in concrete.

Comfort Fence Questions
Does Boerne's fence permit apply in Comfort?
No. The town is unincorporated, so City of Boerne permit rules don't apply. We check county rules and any deed restrictions before building.
What does pipe fence cost for a ranch off I-10?
Pipe fence runs $20 to $45 per foot installed, for top rail with wire or pipe and cable. Height, rails, wire type, rock and slope set where a job lands.
Why do my corner posts keep leaning?
The uplands here are mostly 10 to 20 inches of very stony clay over hard limestone. A corner that isn't drilled into the rock has little to hold it, so we drill, set in concrete and brace before restretching the wire.
What does deer fence around an in-town garden or orchard cost?
Deer fence runs $8 to $20 per foot. A garden or orchard run on a town lot usually sits lower in that range than 8 ft fence across acreage.
Can you build a fence on a lot in the historic downtown?
Yes. We build picket-style wood, iron and chain link on in-town lots, and with more than 100 buildings from the 1800s downtown, we help you pick a style that suits the street.
