Fence Installation in Richardson, TX
Richardson is one of North Texas's most established cities—home to the Telecom Corridor, UTD, and neighborhoods that range from 1960s ranches to modern builds in Canyon Creek. We've been installing and replacing fences here for years, and we understand that Richardson homeowners value quality work at fair prices. Many original fences in Richardson are 30-40 years old and ready for a proper upgrade.

Our Services
Fence Services in Richardson
In Richardson, we do a lot of full fence replacements—many original fences here are decades old. Cedar privacy fences are the most popular choice, but we also install chain link for utility purposes and iron for front yards.
Wood Fence Installation
Richardson's established neighborhoods—Canyon Creek, Northrich, Prairie Creek—often have fences original to the 1970s and 1980s. We specialize in removing these aging fences and replacing them with premium Western Red Cedar that will last another 25+ years.
Our wood fences feature galvanized steel posts set in concrete, board-on-board or side-by-side construction, and quality hardware. We match existing stain colors when replacing sections and can coordinate neighbor matching for a cohesive look.
- Full removal and replacement service
- Western Red Cedar construction
- Steel posts, not wood
- Staining and sealing services
Chain Link Fencing
Richardson's mix of older neighborhoods and commercial areas makes chain link a practical option for many properties. It's economical, durable, and often allowed in areas where wood isn't practical—like alleyways, utility easements, and commercial sites.
We install galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link in residential and commercial grades. Black vinyl coating offers a more attractive appearance while providing the same durability. Heights from 4 to 8 feet available.
- Galvanized or vinyl-coated
- Residential and commercial grades
- 4 to 8 foot heights
- Dog runs and utility applications
Iron & Ornamental Fence
Ornamental iron adds security and curb appeal to Richardson homes—particularly popular for front yards and around pools. Iron fencing provides visibility while maintaining a secure perimeter, meeting both HOA requirements and homeowner preferences.
We install wrought iron and powder-coated tubular steel in various styles. All iron work includes concrete-set posts and rust-resistant finishes. Custom heights, picket styles, and decorative elements available.
- Wrought iron and tubular steel
- Powder-coated finishes
- Custom styles available
- Pool and front yard applications
Pool Fence Installation
Texas law requires pool barriers, and Richardson enforces these requirements during home sales and inspections. We install code-compliant pool fencing that keeps families safe while maintaining your backyard's appearance.
Options include ornamental iron, aluminum, and removable mesh barriers. All pool fences meet 48-inch minimum height requirements with self-closing, self-latching gates. We coordinate with city inspectors to ensure approval.
- Code-compliant design
- Self-closing, self-latching gates
- Multiple material options
- Inspection coordination
Automatic Gates & Access
Upgrade your Richardson property with an automatic gate. We install driveway and pedestrian gates with keypad, remote, and smartphone access options. Perfect for added security and convenience on busy streets.
Our gate systems work with wood, iron, and chain link fencing. We handle fabrication, electrical work, and operator installation. All systems include safety sensors and battery backup options.

Fence Repair & Restoration
Richardson's older fences take a beating from Texas weather. We repair storm damage, replace rotted posts and pickets, fix leaning sections, and restore weathered wood. If your fence is beyond repair, we'll give you an honest assessment.
Many Richardson fences are 30-40 years old. At some point, repeated repairs cost more than a quality replacement. We'll help you decide what makes sense for your situation and budget.

Local Knowledge
Richardson Fence Rules, HOAs & What to Know
Richardson has a different character than newer suburbs—it's more established, with a mix of HOA and non-HOA neighborhoods. Many areas like Northrich, Heights Park, and older sections of Richardson don't have HOAs, giving homeowners more flexibility in fence choices. However, newer communities like Canyon Creek and parts of West Richardson do have active HOAs.
The City of Richardson requires permits for fences over 8 feet tall. Standard residential fences (6 feet for backyards, 4 feet for front yards) generally don't need permits, but there are setback requirements—especially on corner lots where visibility triangles apply. Richardson also has specific rules for fences near alleys and utility easements.
Many Richardson properties have established trees and landscaping that affect fence placement. Our team is experienced in working around mature trees and ensuring proper drainage isn't blocked by new fencing.

Mature Tree Experience

Older Fence? Time to Replace.
Many Richardson homes still have their original fences from the 1970s-80s. If your fence is leaning, rotting, or held together with patches, a full replacement with modern materials will last decades longer than continued repairs.

Local FAQ
Fence Installation FAQ: Richardson
It's mixed. Newer communities like Canyon Creek have active HOAs with fence requirements. But many established Richardson neighborhoods—including Northrich, Heights Park, and areas near downtown—don't have HOAs at all. This gives homeowners more flexibility in fence style and materials. We'll confirm your neighborhood's status during your estimate.
For standard residential fences (6 feet for backyards, 4 feet for front yards), the City of Richardson generally doesn't require permits. However, fences over 8 feet do require permits. Corner lots have visibility triangle requirements, and there are rules for fences near alleys and easements. We review your specific property and handle any required permitting.
Cedar privacy fences are the most common choice in Richardson, especially board-on-board and side-by-side styles. Chain link is still popular for utility purposes—side yards, dog runs, and commercial properties. In upscale areas like Canyon Creek, we also install ornamental iron for front yards. Many Richardson homeowners are replacing original fences with modern cedar and steel post construction.
Many Richardson fences are 30-40 years old. If your fence has multiple leaning sections, rotted posts, or has been patched repeatedly, a full replacement usually makes more financial sense than continued repairs. Modern fence construction with steel posts and quality cedar will outlast repairs to an aging fence. We'll give you an honest assessment during your free estimate.
