Local Trust
Why McKinney Trusts Dallas Fence
We've completed over 120 fence projects in McKinney—everything from traditional cedar privacy fences in Stonebridge Ranch to ornamental iron along the historic district. McKinney homeowners appreciate our attention to detail and our understanding of the city's unique mix of old and new.
"We live in an older McKinney neighborhood without an HOA, so we had flexibility. Dallas Fence helped us design a custom cedar fence that matches our 1920s home. Couldn't be happier."
— David M., Historic McKinney
"Our Stonebridge Ranch HOA is strict, but Dallas Fence handled everything. The fence was approved on the first submission and installed within two weeks."
— Rachel P., Stonebridge Ranch
Our Services
Fence Services in McKinney
Cedar privacy fences dominate in McKinney's newer communities, but we also see a lot of requests for ranch-style fencing on larger lots in the eastern parts of the city. Near downtown, homeowners often want custom designs that complement their historic homes.
Wood Fence Installation
McKinney's diverse neighborhoods call for versatile wood fencing solutions. In master-planned communities like Stonebridge Ranch and Craig Ranch, we install HOA-compliant cedar privacy fences. Near historic downtown McKinney, we create custom designs that honor the area's architectural character.
We use premium Western Red Cedar with galvanized steel posts for maximum longevity. Board-on-board, side-by-side, horizontal slat, and custom lattice-top designs are all available. Every fence includes proper post setting and quality hardware.
- Western Red Cedar construction
- Steel posts with concrete footings
- Custom designs for historic homes
- Staining and sealing services
Ranch & Farm Fencing
McKinney's eastern reaches include larger properties—1 to 5+ acre lots where traditional residential fencing isn't practical. We install pipe and cable fencing, wood ranch rail, and high-tensile wire systems perfect for horses, cattle, and rural properties.
Our ranch fencing uses heavy-gauge steel pipe, properly braced corner posts, and tensioned cable or wire that withstands livestock pressure. We also install deer fencing for properties dealing with wildlife damage to landscaping and gardens.
- Pipe and cable systems
- Traditional wood ranch rail
- Horse and cattle fencing
- Deer fencing for gardens
Iron & Ornamental Fence
Ornamental iron adds elegance to McKinney properties, particularly in upscale neighborhoods and around the historic downtown square. Iron fencing is ideal for front yards where HOAs require visibility while maintaining a distinguished, timeless appearance.
We install both traditional wrought iron and low-maintenance aluminum alternatives. All iron work is powder-coated for rust resistance. Custom designs, decorative finials, and scrollwork are available to match your home's architectural style.
- Wrought iron and aluminum
- Powder-coated finishes
- Custom decorative designs
- Historic-appropriate styles
Pool Fence Installation
Texas law and McKinney city code require proper barriers around residential pools. We install code-compliant pool fencing in ornamental iron, aluminum, and removable mesh—ensuring your family's safety while maintaining your backyard's aesthetics.
All pool fences meet the minimum 48-inch height requirement and feature self-closing, self-latching gates with outward swing direction. We coordinate with McKinney building inspectors to ensure your fence passes inspection on the first visit.
- Code-compliant 48"+ height
- Self-closing, self-latching gates
- Iron, aluminum, mesh options
- Inspection coordination
Automatic Gates & Access
McKinney's larger properties and estate homes often benefit from automatic gate systems. We install driveway gates in wood, iron, and aluminum with multiple access options—keypads, remotes, smartphone apps, and intercom systems.
Our gate operators handle both swing and slide configurations. We manage the entire installation including electrical work, safety sensors, and system programming. Battery backup ensures operation during power outages.
- Swing and slide gates
- Multiple access options
- Safety sensors included
- Battery backup systems
Fence Repair & Restoration
McKinney sees its share of severe weather—spring storms with high winds, hail, and occasional tornado activity. We respond quickly to storm damage, working with homeowners and insurance companies to document and restore damaged fencing.
Beyond storm repair, we fix leaning sections, replace rotted posts and pickets, repair gates, and restore weathered wood with staining and sealing. We'll tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
- Storm damage repair
- Post and picket replacement
- Gate repair and adjustment
- Staining and restoration
Local Knowledge
McKinney Fence Rules, HOAs & What to Know
McKinney is unique in North Texas—it has a genuine mix of HOA-governed master-planned communities and older neighborhoods with no HOA at all. Near downtown McKinney and in established areas like Tucker Hill, you'll often have more flexibility with fence styles. But in communities like Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, and Trinity Falls, HOAs have detailed requirements.
In HOA neighborhoods, expect requirements for board-on-board cedar, 6-foot maximum height, specific stain colors, and "good neighbor" construction. Some communities like Craig Ranch have particularly strict architectural standards and require detailed drawings with your application.
The City of McKinney doesn't require permits for most residential fences under 8 feet. However, if your property backs to a creek, floodplain, or city easement, additional rules may apply. We assess your specific lot during the free estimate.

Local FAQ
Fence Installation FAQ: McKinney
No—McKinney has a genuine mix. Master-planned communities like Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, and Trinity Falls have active HOAs with fence requirements. But many neighborhoods near downtown McKinney, in Tucker Hill, and in older parts of the city have no HOA at all. During your estimate, we'll confirm your neighborhood's status and requirements.
The City of McKinney generally doesn't require permits for residential fences under 8 feet. However, there are exceptions: properties near creeks or floodplains may have additional requirements, and corner lots have visibility triangle rules. Pool fences must meet specific safety codes. We check all of this during your free estimate.
Cedar privacy fences (especially board-on-board) are the most common in McKinney's newer communities. In the historic district and older neighborhoods, we see more variety—picket fences, ornamental iron, and custom wood designs. On larger lots in east McKinney, ranch-style pipe and cable fencing is popular for acreage and horse properties.
Most residential fence installations in McKinney are completed in 1-2 days once we begin. If you're in an HOA community, the approval process typically takes 10-14 days. If you're in a non-HOA neighborhood, we can often schedule installation within a week or two of your estimate.
