New Wood Fence Gate on an Existing Fence
The old gate wasn't closing properly, so we built a brand-new wood gate on heavy strap hinges and hung it in the existing fence. Small job, very happy customer.

Fence permits and local planning in Garland
In Garland we install, replace and repair fences. Blackland Prairie clay and older lots explain a lot of what fails here: wood posts rotted at ground level, runs pushed out of line and gates that sag and stop latching.
Garland permit and height rules
Dallas Fence is a registered fence contractor with the City of Garland, so we pull the permit for you whenever the job calls for one. The figures below come from the city's fence permit page, its development code and its Fence Requirements handout:
| Item | Garland rule |
|---|---|
| Permit required | A fence where none existed; a change in height, location or material; any fence on a corner lot; any lot with a pool in the back yard |
| Like-for-like replacement | Same spot, height and material on an interior lot with no pool may not need a permit |
| Residential height | 8 ft maximum, measured from grade on the owner's side |
| Front yard | Wood or wrought iron under 3½ ft, with open spacing built in |
| Solid fence on a corner lot | Visibility clip required; specs come with the permit |
HOA covenants, where a neighborhood has them, are a separate approval and can be tighter, so we look at what applies to your address during the estimate visit.
Building for Garland's clay, alleys and older lots
- Aging wood fences: our standard wood fence installation pairs Western Red Cedar pickets with galvanized steel posts set in concrete, which hold up better in shifting clay than wood posts. Inside a utility or maintenance easement along the alley, the city calls for metal posts and removable panels.
- Side yards and dog runs: chain link is a practical fit where you want airflow and visibility; a separate pen stays 5 feet from the neighbor's line.
- Pools and front yards: a pool needs a 48-inch barrier with self-closing, self-latching gates that open away from the pool, which our pool fence installation and ornamental iron fencing are built for. Out front, the low, open-spaced limit also points to iron.
- Wind and storm damage: fence repair starts with checking whether posts loosened in their footings, not just replacing the panels that blew out.

Fence questions from Garland property owners
Practical answers about fence installation, repairs, approvals, and estimates in Garland.
01 Do I need a fence permit in Garland, and who pulls it?
Often: for a fence where none existed, a change in height, location or material, any corner-lot fence, or a yard with a pool. Dallas Fence is a registered fence contractor with the city, and we pull it whenever your job needs one.
02 My Garland house is on a corner lot. What changes?
Any fence replaced or installed on a corner lot needs a permit, and a solid fence must have its corner cut back in a visibility clip so drivers can see. Building Inspection supplies the dimensions with the permit.
03 How much does a fence cost in Garland?
Our wood fences cost $30 to $80 a linear foot installed; iron and steel cost $20 to $90. Post type, gates and removal of the old fence are itemized in your written quote, which sets the final number.
04 How fast can you start, and how long will my Garland fence take?
We usually start within days of your approved estimate, and most fences are up in 1 to 5 days depending on size. When a permit or HOA approval is required, it comes first.
