Dallas homeowners know the drill: brick ranch and split-level homes from the 1960s and 70s line shaded streets where mature post oak, cedar elm, and live oak tower overhead. When a storm hits or a tree leans too far, you need a crew that understands North Texas clay soil, spring severe weather, and the tight lot lines of established neighborhoods around White Rock Lake and the central business district.

Arlington Fence Company has served Dallas and the surrounding Mid-Cities since 2015. We install and repair wood privacy fencing, vinyl, chain link, ornamental metal, and gates on properties just like yours. We work from your survey, pull permits where required, and call 811 before we dig. Our team is fully insured, and we show up to do the work ourselves, not send a subcontractor.

Fencing in Dallas (75201)

Dallas property owners face real constraints that Arlington crews know well. Your brick veneer home sits on the Blackland Prairie's deep, dark, highly expansive clay soil that swells after spring rain and cracks hard in summer drought. Fence posts set in concrete handle that movement better than tamped earth alone. Your neighborhood may have HOA covenants that mandate 6-foot cedar privacy fencing or restrict vinyl and metal. Corner visibility rules, setback lines, and height limits vary by block. We coordinate with your HOA architectural committee and pull permits through the Dallas Building Department before we start.

We've installed hundreds of linear feet of wood and vinyl privacy fence, chain link, aluminum ornamental iron, and automatic driveway gates across Dallas and Arlington. We know which fence lines need anti-sag bracing in clay, how to set posts on slopes, and when a repair to the stringers and pickets makes more sense than full replacement.

How a Fence Job Works in Dallas

Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment. Call us at (682) 277-0410 or request a quote online. We visit your property, walk the fence line, check for utility locates required by law, and discuss your budget, material preference, and any HOA rules. We measure, note site conditions like slope and soil, and give you an honest estimate with no pressure.

Step 2: Permits and Utility Locates. We file permits where Dallas or your HOA requires them. We call 811 to mark underground utilities before any post hole is dug. We order materials and schedule the crew. On install day, we set posts in concrete at proper spacing, install rails and pickets or panels, hang gates with self-closing self-latching hardware if you choose it, and brace for anti-sag where clay soil demands it.

Step 3: Cleanup and Walkthrough. We haul debris, sweep up, and walk the fence line with you to confirm the job is done right. We leave your property clean. Repairs typically take one to two days. Full fence installation or replacement takes longer depending on linear footage and site access.

Fence pricing in Dallas depends on material, linear footage, site conditions, and whether the job includes removal or repair. Wood privacy fence starts at $27 per linear foot. Vinyl runs $38 per foot. Chain link is $16 per foot. Ornamental aluminum and iron start at $42 per foot. Fence repair begins at $450. Post replacement or repair runs from $450. Gate installation and repair start at $475. Automatic driveway gates begin at $2,800. Fence replacement and removal, including concrete cutting and hauling, starts at $2,400. Pool barrier fencing is $34 per foot and is installed to meet local pool barrier codes. Every estimate is free and includes a walk of your property, a discussion of your site constraints, and an honest recommendation on whether repair or replacement makes sense for your budget. Call us at (682) 277-0410 to schedule.

Why does my fence lean or sag in Dallas clay soil?

The Blackland Prairie clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, shifting post footings over time. Posts set in concrete handle this better than tamped earth, and anti-sag bracing on the rails keeps the fence square longer. If your fence is already leaning, we can often straighten it by resetting posts deeper or adding bracing. If the posts are rotted at the ground line from moisture, replacement is the better spend.

Do I need a permit to install a new fence in Dallas?

Permit requirements vary by neighborhood and HOA. Dallas Building Department rules apply to the city proper. Some subdivisions and master-planned communities require HOA approval before any fence work begins. We check your property's rules, file permits if required, and coordinate with your HOA architectural committee. Call us at (682) 277-0410 and we'll walk you through what applies to your address.

What happens if a storm damages my fence?

Spring severe weather, high wind, or hail can flatten a fence or knock a gate off its hinges. We offer a free damage assessment and can often repair the damaged section rather than replace the whole run. If repair isn't practical, we document the damage so you can file an insurance claim. We do honest work at fair prices, never pressure you into replacement, and can help you with photos and notes for your adjuster.

How do I know if my fence post needs repair or replacement?

A post rotted at the ground line from moisture should be replaced. Posts that are cracked or split but still sound can sometimes be reinforced with sister posts or additional bracing. Leaning posts in clay soil often respond to resetting and bracing. We inspect your fence in person and tell you which posts are savable and which need to come out. Replacement starts at $450 per post, including concrete.

What's the difference between vinyl and wood privacy fence?

Wood privacy fence (cedar or pressure-treated pine) costs less upfront (starting at $27 per foot) and looks classic on Dallas brick homes. It needs staining every few years and can rot if moisture sits at the ground line. Vinyl PVC fence starts at $38 per foot, never needs staining, and lasts longer in our climate. Vinyl doesn't sag as easily in clay soil and requires less maintenance. Both are popular in Dallas. We install both and can discuss pros and cons for your property.

Do you install automatic driveway gates?

Yes. We install cantilever and V-track automatic gates with linear operators and self-closing self-latching hardware. Automatic gates start at $2,800 and require a level pad, adequate clearance, and utility power. We handle the installation, operator setup, and testing. Call (682) 277-0410 with photos of your driveway and we'll quote the job.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. We are also AFA Member Installers with the American Fence Association. Your property and our crew are protected on every job.
