Austin's Fence Installation Experts
Austin’s soil isn’t forgiving. The Blackland Prairie clay that blankets most of the city expands and contracts with every rain cycle, and limestone bedrock sits close to the surface in the Hill Country edges. If you’ve seen a fence leaning after just a couple of years, that’s why. We set our posts deeper, use concrete footing sized for Central Texas conditions, and select materials that handle the heat and the movement.
We’re not a national chain. We work in Austin neighborhoods every week — Zilker, Travis Heights, Crestview, Pflugerville, Round Rock — and we’ve earned a reputation for showing up when we say we will and building fences that last.
Many Austin neighborhoods fall under HOA jurisdiction — communities like Mueller, Circle C Ranch, Steiner Ranch, and Great Hills all have fence guidelines. We’re familiar with the most common requirements and can help you select materials and styles that keep you compliant.
Fence Types We Install in Austin
Board-on-Board Cedar
The classic Austin privacy fence. Cedar is naturally rot-resistant and handles Texas humidity well. Great for yards backing up to greenbelt areas.
Shadowbox Fence
Alternating boards on both sides allow airflow while still providing privacy. Popular in neighborhoods with wind exposure.
Wrought Iron Fence
Strong curb appeal for front yards and driveways. Works well for pool enclosures and commercial entry points.
Chain Link Fence
Durable, cost-effective, and low-maintenance. Common for side and back yards, dog runs, and commercial fencing.
Vinyl Privacy Fence
Never needs painting and resists the fading Texas sun brings. Good option for HOA communities that prefer a consistent look.
Split Rail Fence
Open and rustic. Works well on larger properties, acreage, and homes near the greenbelt where a full privacy fence isn’t needed.

Fence FAQ for Austin, TX
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Austin?
In most cases, yes — Austin requires a permit for new fence construction over 8 feet tall and for fences in certain easements or floodplain areas. For standard 6-foot privacy fences in typical residential lots, a permit is often not required, but rules vary by zone. We recommend checking with the City of Austin Development Services Department before starting. We’re happy to help you figure out what applies to your property.
How do you handle Austin's clay soil when setting fence posts?
Clay soil in Central Texas expands when wet and contracts when dry, which can push or tilt fence posts over time. We dig posts deeper than standard minimum depths, use properly sized concrete footings, and we let the concrete cure fully before attaching boards. On properties where limestone rock is close to the surface, we use a hydraulic breaker if needed to reach proper depth.
What fence styles are allowed in Austin HOA neighborhoods?
It depends on the HOA. Communities like Mueller, Circle C Ranch, and Steiner Ranch each have their own CC&Rs specifying acceptable fence materials, heights, and colors. We work in many Austin HOA communities and are familiar with common requirements. We recommend pulling your CC&Rs before we meet so we can point you toward compliant options and help avoid a costly redo.
How long does a typical fence installation take in Austin?
Most residential fence installations take one to two days. Larger properties, corner lots, or projects that include custom gates may take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we do your estimate, and we commit to finishing on schedule — no half-finished fences sitting over the weekend.
What types of fences work best in Central Austin's climate?
Cedar is the most popular wood choice because it handles humidity and heat without warping as badly as pine. Vinyl holds up well because it doesn’t rot or need painting. Iron and steel last longest structurally but need proper coating to resist rust. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs during your free estimate.
Does Epic Fence Company do fence repairs in Austin?
Yes — repair is a big part of what we do, especially after storms. We fix leaning and fallen sections, replace rotted posts, re-hang gates that won’t latch, and patch storm damage. We can usually match your existing materials so the repair blends in well.
Can you install a fence on a sloped lot in Austin?
Absolutely. We build racked (angled) and stepped fences for sloped yards. If you’re not sure which style is better for your lot, we’ll assess the grade during your estimate and recommend what works best visually and structurally.
What's included in your free fence estimate for Austin properties?
We visit the property, walk the fence line with you, take measurements, note any grade changes or access challenges, and discuss your goals. We then provide a written quote that breaks down materials and labor. There’s no pressure and no obligation to book.
