Ranch, horse and split rail fences near Katy

Acreage fences have different priorities than yard fences: length, livestock, gates and access.

West of Katy, fences change. Lots get bigger, and the fence has a different job: keep livestock in, mark a boundary or dress up an entry. That changes the materials, the posts and the price.

What we build

Split rail and three-rail wood fences, wire mesh added for small animals and pets, and farm gates and entry gates. Our projects include painted rail fences in Fulshear and pasture-style rail in the area.

Livestock and animals

Horses, goats, dogs and cattle need different heights, spacing and mesh. Tell us what animals you have. We will discuss what suits them, but we are not a veterinarian or livestock expert.

Posts and gates

Long runs and heavy gates need strong corner and gate posts. See clay soil and driveway gates.

Larger jobs and travel

Acreage jobs are quoted by length and access. We have a $1,900 minimum for all jobs, with no additional minimum for outer-ring areas.

How an estimate works

  1. 1
    Tell us about the job

    Call, text, use the form or book online. Include your street or community.

  2. 2
    We look at the site

    We check the fence line, grade, gates, access and any HOA or city needs.

  3. 3
    You get an itemized estimate

    Material, height, gates and scope in writing.

  4. 4
    Approval and scheduling

    We install, clean up and walk it with you.
