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.

My 50-year-old cedar privacy fence is leaning badly on the south side of my DeSoto property. Do I need to replace the whole fence, or can you repair it?

If the posts are rotted at the ground line (the most common failure in our clay soil and North Texas weather), replacement of those posts is often the right answer. If the fence is just leaning because of settling or soil movement, we can sometimes brace it or reset the posts in fresh concrete. We assess the damage on site, show you what is holding and what is not, and propose repair before replacement whenever the fence justifies it. Call us at (682) 277-0410 to schedule a free inspection.

I want to replace my fence before summer. How quickly can Arlington Fence Company schedule work in DeSoto?

Spring is our busiest season because homeowners are re-fencing after winter weather and before the summer heat. Call us early at (682) 277-0410 to discuss your timeline. We will give you an honest estimate of when we can start and finish. If you have storm damage or an unsafe fence, we prioritize emergency work.

My HOA says my fence has to be cedar and 6 feet tall. What does that cost in DeSoto?

A 6-foot cedar privacy fence in DeSoto runs approximately $27 per linear foot installed, with posts set in concrete at standard spacing. A 100-foot run would be roughly $2,700 before any site-specific costs like difficult access or poor soil. Call us at (682) 277-0410 with your HOA requirements and the linear footage you need. We will give you a firm quote after we see the property.

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

Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction within the DeSoto area. Some municipalities require a permit for any fence installation, others do not. Height, setback, and corner-visibility rules are set by the city or county and vary. Before we start work, we check with the local building department serving your property and confirm what is required. If a permit is needed, we coordinate the application and inspection. Always verify your specific requirements with the DeSoto city building department or the jurisdiction that covers your address.

My neighbor's tree branch is hanging over my fence line in DeSoto. What can I do?

In Texas, a property owner may trim branches that cross the property line back to the line itself, but only on your side. You cannot enter the neighbor's property or remove the tree. If the branch is damaging your fence or creating a safety issue, document it and try a friendly conversation first. If that does not work, check your HOA rules (if you have one) and consider a formal letter. If the branch damages your fence, we can repair or replace the damaged section and help you document the damage for your insurance claim. Call us at (682) 277-0410 to discuss the situation.

Is Arlington Fence Company fully insured to work on my DeSoto property?

Yes. We are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. Our crews carry the protection your property and your peace of mind require.

I had a spring storm that damaged my fence in DeSoto. What should I do?

If your fence is unsafe or has collapsed, call us right away at (682) 277-0410. We offer a free damage assessment. We will document what happened, explain what repair or replacement will cost, and help you understand what your insurance may cover. Take photos of the damage before we arrive if you can. We do not make promises about insurance approval, but we work honestly with you and your adjuster to get the job done right.
