Custom Fencing in Greater Houston

Fencing Built by a Marine Contractor Holds Up Where Others Fail

Fences fail from the ground up. Posts set shallow, in poor concrete, or in untreated contact with wet soil rot and lean long before the pickets wear out — and on lakeside and coastal properties, wind exposure and saturated soils accelerate everything. We build fencing the way we build marine structures: posts set deep and true, timber treated to the correct retention for its exposure (.40 for typical land contact, higher near the water), and corrosion-resistant hardware throughout.

Waterfront properties add challenges most fence companies never see: sloped and eroding banks, soils that stay saturated near the bulkhead line, and wind fetch across open water that turns a privacy fence into a sail. We engineer post depth, spacing, and bracing for those real loads, which is why our fences stay plumb through the same storms that flatten builder-grade runs.

Style-wise we build the full range — privacy, picket, ranch rail, and custom decorative designs — matched to the property and, where relevant, HOA requirements. Gates get the same structural attention as the fence itself, because a sagging gate is the first thing everyone notices.

The Details That Decide How Long a Fence Lasts in Texas

Houston-area clay soils swell and shrink dramatically between wet winters and baked summers, heaving shallow posts out of alignment a little more every year. Proper depth and footing design absorb that movement. Fastener choice matters just as much: standard fasteners streak and fail in humid, salt-influenced air, so we use hot-dip galvanized or better on every build.

Timber selection is the other half. Treated pine remains the workhorse for value and paintability; cedar offers natural weather resistance and a premium look. Either way, the wood in ground contact must carry the right treatment retention — a detail invisible on day one and decisive by year ten.
