What you can hold us to
Maren in Blackhawk had a back fence that leaned on its posts as the clay moved, and patching it section by section kept adding up. We replaced the run post to post with 90 lf of 5 ft ornamental tube steel panels in a black powder coat, with footings set for clay that shrinks and swells. It was an estimated $5,600 to $7,400 job that typically took 2 to 4 days, and the whole 90 ft run now stands plumb on new footings.
The city's fence code counts repairs by the run: they go from support post to support post, and if noncompliant repairs exceed 50% of the fence length or a combined 100 linear feet, the entire fence must be replaced. Confirm current text with the city before you order a patch job.
That limit changes the math on an older fence. A fence patched a section at a time can pass the line quickly, and a 90 ft run like Maren's is estimated at $5,600 to $7,400 to replace whole, so we count the patched footage before we quote either way.
A fence over 4 ft may not lean more than 1 ft from vertical at its top under the city code, so a run that has drifted past that is a replacement question, not a cosmetic one. Confirm current text with the city, and we hold a plumb line against each post top to see where yours stands.
The cause is usually the ground. The USDA rates the clay of the Blackland Prairie high for shrink-swell potential, with cracks that open wide during dry periods, so a shallow footing moves with the season. Our standard is a 36-inch minimum footing for fence posts and 48-inch for gate posts, and new ornamental fence is roughly $52 to $83 per linear foot over 2 to 4 days.
Homes built since 2000 make up 62% of Pflugerville housing (ACS 2024), so most fences and gates here are first generation, with posts reaching about 20 years in the ground. Owner-occupied homes make up 69.9% of housing, which means the person writing the check is usually the person living behind the fence.
Maren's Blackhawk job is a clear example, a back fence leaning on its posts as the clay moved. The fix was 90 lf of 5 ft panels replacing that run, in ornamental tube steel, black powder coat. An older gate on a worn post often needs the same attention, and a single swing drive gate with operator is estimated at $2,700 to $4,900 over 1 to 2 days.
A leaning back fence usually suits wrought iron fencing in ornamental panels, while a pool yard suits a pool barrier with self-closing gate, roughly $32 to $44 per linear foot over 1 to 3 days, as part of pool fencing. A leaf that has dropped on its hinge post is better served by gate replacement.
Replacing a leaning run with prefabricated panels is the usual answer here, and an ornamental tube steel fence line is estimated at $52 to $83 per linear foot over 2 to 4 days. Where the old fence was iron and the posts still stand plumb, an old iron blast and recoat is roughly $31 to $48 per linear foot over 1 to 3 days, which is worth pricing against new panels.
Owners who want scrolls and collars on a solid bar frame can choose a hand-forged iron fence, which is an estimated $88 to $128 per linear foot over 3 to 6 days. Fence posts get a 36-inch minimum depth, which matters on clay that shrinks and swells. Prices here are estimates that can change once the posts are checked and the patched footage is counted, and the written quote after that visit sets the final price and the schedule.
We work Blackhawk and the Heatherwilde Boulevard corridor, and the crew that built Maren's fence also covers Round Rock and Georgetown in the same week. The rest of our route is mapped on the service area page. Garrett's 18 ft slide in Forest Creek in Round Rock came to an estimated $2,900 to $4,400 over 2 to 3 days. Beckett's 14 ft leaf in Great Hills in Austin was an estimated $3,200 to $4,400 over 1 to 2 days. Lorna's 26 ft cantilever on Chisholm Trail Road in Round Rock took an estimated 3 to 4 days around a morning truck rush.
The drive from our Cedar Park shop to Pflugerville is typically 23 minutes, so the crew that checks your posts is the crew that sets the new ones, and the same crew works Round Rock, Georgetown and Leander. A gate on moving clay can also go on a quarterly gate service plan, typically $90 to $110 per gate per visit, so a dropping hinge post is caught early. Our 18-month workmanship warranty on welds, hinge set, footings and gate travel covers every post we set, and operators carry the maker's parts warranty.
Pflugerville owners often pair a new fence with automatic driveway gates, and a worn entry often calls for gate access control. A wide drive beside a new fence pairs a double leaf swing entry with operators, estimated at $4,200 to $7,800 over 2 to 3 days, and a short garage run suits a track slide gate with rack drive, roughly $1,700 to $4,800 over 2 to 3 days. Fence styles and gate types are all laid out on the services page.
The city code says repairs run post to post, and if noncompliant repairs exceed 50% of the fence length or a combined 100 linear feet, the entire fence must be replaced, so confirm current text with the city.
A fence over 4 ft may not lean more than 1 ft from vertical at its top, so confirm current text with the city.
The Blackland Prairie clay shrinks and swells with the seasons, and a shallow footing moves with it.
