Fence permits and local planning in Lake Highlands

We build cedar privacy fences, pool barriers and chain link, and repair or restain older fences, across Lake Highlands. It is a Dallas neighborhood, so a fence here follows City of Dallas rules rather than those of Richardson or Garland next door.

City of Dallas rules for Lake Highlands fences

Dallas Fence is registered as a fence contractor with the City of Dallas and pulls the permit for you when the job needs one. The limits that matter on most lots:

Project City of Dallas rule
Front-yard fence No taller than 4 ft; going taller takes a Board of Adjustment special exception
Backyard fence 6 ft or shorter No permit
Backyard fence over 6 ft Permit required; 9 ft maximum
Fence in a creek, drainage or alley easement Written approval first from the agencies holding the easement

A historic, conservation or planned development district can add requirements, and an HOA can be stricter than the City. We check both for your address at the estimate; our Dallas fence permit guide explains the process.

Building around trees, creeks and old fence lines

  • Cedar rebuilds. We replace old lines with Western Red Cedar pickets on galvanized steel posts set in concrete, for both wood fences and taller privacy fences.
  • Trees on the line. A trunk or major root where a post should go means changing post spacing or moving the line, not sawing through the root.
  • Weathered cedar. Fence staining changes the color and helps the wood handle weather. Fence repair is the better first step when a few posts or pickets have failed and the rest is solid.
  • Dogs and pools. Chain link suits a dog run or a rear line where screening is not the goal. For a pool fence, we confirm the City's barrier requirements for the address before quoting.

Fence questions from Lake Highlands property owners

Practical answers about fence installation, repairs, approvals, and estimates in Lake Highlands.

01

Do I need a permit to replace my backyard fence in Lake Highlands, and who pulls it?

Not at 6 feet or shorter, unless your lot sits in a district with extra requirements. Taller than that, up to the 9-foot cap, the City of Dallas wants a permit. We are a registered fence contractor there and handle the filing.

02

My yard backs onto a creek or alley. Where can the new fence go?

Outside the easement, unless the agencies with an interest in it approve in writing first. Creek, drainage and alley easements are shown on your plat or survey, so we read it before setting the new line instead of reusing the old fence position.

03

How much does a fence cost in Lake Highlands?

A wood fence runs $30 to $80 per linear foot installed; iron and steel run $20 to $90. Your written estimate itemizes materials, posts, labor and haul-off, so the final number is clear before work begins.

04

How soon can you start, and how many days does a fence take?

Most installs start within days of the approved estimate. Most jobs then take 1 to 5 days to install, depending on size. If your fence needs a permit or HOA approval, that happens before we build.
