DeSoto's established family neighborhoods south of Dallas are lined with mature post oak, cedar elm, and pecan trees that have shaded the same brick ranch and split-level homes since the 1960s and 70s. When those trees need attention, the clay soil, spring storms, and summer drought cycles that shape North Texas make the work urgent and specialized.
Arlington Fence Company has served DeSoto and the surrounding Mid-Cities since 2015. We install and repair wood privacy fences, vinyl, chain link, ornamental metal, and gates on the same properties where homeowners are re-fencing on a rolling schedule as original cedar and pressure-treated runs reach the end of their life. Our fully insured crews know the neighborhood, the HOA rules, and what it takes to build a fence that lasts in this climate and soil.
Fencing in DeSoto (75115)
DeSoto's residential landscape is defined by 1960s-80s brick veneer ranches and split-levels with composite shingle roofs, many sitting on the gently rolling Blackland Prairie where deep, dark clay swells after spring rain and cracks hard in summer. Mature trees line the fence lines. Many homes carry 6-foot cedar privacy fences installed decades ago, and as those fences age, they lean, rot at the post line where moisture collects, or simply fail after fifty years of North Texas weather. Homeowners here also navigate HOA architectural standards that govern fence height, material, and color in the established master-planned sections, and city setback and corner-visibility rules that vary depending on which jurisdiction your property falls under.
We have been installing and repairing fences in DeSoto and the Arlington area since 2015. We work from your existing survey, coordinate with local building departments and HOA boards, and call for a Texas 811 utility locate before we dig a single post hole. Our team includes an AFA Member Installer, and we are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage.

How a Fence Job Works in DeSoto
Step 1: You call us at (682) 277-0410 or contact us online to describe what you need. We schedule a free on-site assessment at your DeSoto property. We walk the fence line with you, check for utility marks, discuss your goals (repair, replacement, or new installation), and explain what the local building department and your HOA (if applicable) require. We measure, take notes, and give you an honest estimate before we commit to anything.
Step 2: Once you approve the work, we handle the details. Our crews set posts in concrete at proper spacing, install rails and stringers, and hang pickets or boards board-on-board or side-by-side depending on your choice and privacy needs. For wood, we use cedar or pressure-treated pine. For vinyl, we install PVC that holds up to the Texas heat. For chain link, we stretch and tension the mesh and set all hardware. For ornamental metal, we ensure proper gauge and powder-coat finish. We coordinate with your HOA if required and respect your neighbors' property lines.
Step 3: We clean up all debris, haul away old fence material if we are doing a replacement, and walk the finished fence with you. Your property is left clean and ready to enjoy.
