Frequently asked
How much does a fence cost in DFW?
Installed fence in DFW: cedar privacy 6-foot $28–$45 per linear foot, board-on-board cedar $38–$60 per linear foot, ornamental metal $35–$65 per linear foot, chain link 6-foot $18–$30 per linear foot. A typical 150-foot residential perimeter lands $4,200–$9,000 for standard cedar privacy.
Do you set posts in concrete?
Yes. Every fence post is set in concrete with proper depth (24–36 inches depending on post height) and crown-poured to shed water away from the post. Concrete-set posts last 2–3x longer than tamped-soil posts in DFW clay.
What wood holds up best in North Texas?
Cedar handles DFW heat and humidity better than pressure-treated pine and resists rot and insects naturally. Board-on-board cedar gives you privacy with no gaps and an upgraded look. Pressure-treated pine is the budget option and lasts 8–12 years before needing replacement.
Do I need a permit for a new fence in Dallas or Plano?
Most DFW municipalities require a permit for new fence installation, particularly fences over 6 feet, fences in front yards, or any fence within view of a corner-lot setback. Dallas, Plano, Frisco, and Southlake all have specific setback and height rules. We confirm permit and HOA requirements before scheduling.
Can you repair sections of an existing fence?
Yes. Section replacement, post resetting, gate rebuilds, and storm-damage repair are routine work. Repairs are typically priced at $90–$180 per section or $200–$450 per replaced post.
Why TrueForm for DFW fencing
A residential fence either holds up for 12–15 years or starts leaning in three. The difference is post depth, post material, and how the post meets the concrete. We set every post in concrete at proper depth (24–36 inches depending on height), crown-pour the concrete to shed water away from the post, and use galvanized hardware throughout. Cedar pickets and pressure-treated rails handle North Texas heat and humidity without the warping vinyl gets and without the rot pressure-treated pickets get when set against soil. HOA and municipal review is part of the scope — Dallas, Plano, Frisco, and Southlake all have setback and height rules we'll confirm before scheduling.
