Fences and gates in Elyson

Elyson is a newer community on the Katy Prairie developed by Brookfield Residential, which opened in fall 2016. Newer communities tend to have defined standards and many owners who upgrade the builder fence.

Who governs fences here

The Elyson Residential Association governs the community (reported by a third-party listing to be managed by Cohere). Public sources describe lakes, trails and a water-retention design meant to handle rainfall on the prairie. Two Harris County MUDs are reported. County details come from third-party sources, so verify before relying on them.

We did not find published fence guidelines. Ask the association for them before you plan a fence.

What to plan for in Elyson

• Confirm approval steps and timelines with the association.
• Prairie soil and drainage design matter for post depth. See clay soil.
• For a builder fence upgrade, ask about board-on-board, cap and trim, and steel posts.

About this area

Elyson is a Newland Communities development on the Katy Prairie near the Grand Parkway and FM 529, with more than 750 acres of parks, trails and open space. Lots range from narrower paired-home sites to larger custom lots, so fence footage and layout vary a lot from street to street. Because the community is newer, many owners are replacing or upgrading a builder-grade fence.
