Richardson's mid-century brick ranches and established subdivisions west of Central Expressway sit under mature shade trees that have grown for fifty years, and newer HOA-governed communities across West Plano carry strict design rules that affect every fence decision you make.

Plano Fence Company has served Richardson and the surrounding Plano area since 2015. We know the clay-heavy Blackland Prairie soil, the spring storms that snap fence panels and bend gates, and the architectural covenants that govern what you can build in your neighborhood. When a fence fails or needs repair, we show up with the same crew who knows your street, diagnoses the problem honestly, and prices the work fairly.

Fencing in Richardson (75080)

Richardson's residential character splits into two distinct landscapes. The older grid west of Central Expressway holds 1970s and 1980s brick ranch and split-level homes with deep lots, mature post oak and cedar elm, and original or aging wood privacy fencing that has weathered decades of North Texas heat and clay-soil movement. The newer subdivisions across West Plano and into McKinney carry strict HOA design standards: six-foot cedar privacy fencing, board-on-board or side-by-side construction, and rules that govern color, material, and setback to the inch. Both neighborhoods see the same failure modes: posts that shift and lean as clay swells in spring rain and cracks hard in summer drought, rails that sag under the weight of years, pickets that rot at the ground line from standing moisture, and gates that drag or come off their hinges.

Our team has been installing, repairing, and replacing fences across Richardson and the Plano area since 2015. We work from your existing survey, respect HOA architectural standards, call for 811 utility locates before we dig, and leave your property clean.

How a Fence Job Works in Richardson

Step 1: Free on-site assessment. We visit your property, walk the fence line, check for utility marks, and look at what's failing and why. If your fence is repairable, we say so. If replacement makes better sense, we explain the cost difference and the timeline. We answer questions about HOA approval, permit requirements in your jurisdiction, and what the work will look like.

Step 2: The work itself. We set posts in concrete at proper spacing, install stringers and rails square and level, and attach pickets or panels with fasteners that hold. For wood privacy fencing, we use pressure-treated pine or cedar depending on your budget and preference. For vinyl, we work with PVC materials that don't rot or splinter. For chain link, we tension the mesh properly and set terminal and corner posts with anti-sag bracing. Gates we hang on heavy-duty hardware with self-closing self-latching mechanisms where you want them. Tight lot access, mature trees, or steep slopes don't stop us, they just mean we plan the approach carefully.

Step 3: Cleanup and final walkthrough. We haul away all scrap and debris, sweep the work area, and walk the fence line with you to confirm the job is done right. Fully insured crews handle the work from start to finish.

Pricing for fence work in Richardson depends on the material you choose, the condition of the existing fence, and what you want the finished fence to look like. Wood and privacy fence installation starts at $27 per linear foot. Vinyl and PVC runs from $38 per linear foot. Chain link, the most economical choice for large areas, starts at $16 per linear foot. Aluminum and ornamental iron fencing, common at estate entries and premium subdivisions near Willow Bend, starts at $42 per linear foot. Fence repair work typically runs from $450 for straightforward post or hardware fixes. Fence post replacement, when the post has shifted or rotted, starts at $450. Gate installation and repair start at $475. Automatic driveway gates, popular in newer master-planned communities, start at $2,800. Full fence replacement and removal, when the entire run is compromised, starts at $2,400 depending on the length and material. For an honest estimate tailored to your property, call us at (940) 326-4616 and describe what you see. We'll give you a realistic ballpark and schedule a free site visit.

Why do fence posts lean or shift in Richardson?

Richardson sits on the Blackland Prairie, where deep clay soil swells significantly after spring rain and shrinks and cracks hard in summer drought. Posts set without proper concrete footings, or set in soil that shifts seasonally, will lean or settle unevenly over time. Posts tamped into soil alone will move more than posts set in concrete footings below the frost line. If your fence is leaning but the posts and rails are still sound, we can reset the posts in concrete and straighten the fence. If the wood is rotted or the lean is severe, post replacement is the better choice.

What's the difference between board-on-board and side-by-side wood privacy fencing?

Side-by-side fencing, where boards are installed flat against the stringers with no overlap, is the most common style in Richardson's HOA communities and offers a clean, symmetrical appearance from both sides. Board-on-board fencing overlaps the boards slightly, creating a shadow-line effect and a more finished look, and is popular in premium neighborhoods. Both styles use the same materials and post spacing. The choice is mostly aesthetic and budget. Your HOA rules may specify which style is allowed, so check your architectural guidelines before you decide.

Do I need a permit to install or replace a fence in Richardson?

Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction in the Richardson area. Some cities and unincorporated Collin County areas require a permit for fence installation or replacement, while others do not. Fence height, setback from the property line, and corner-visibility rules are set by your local building department and may differ from neighboring jurisdictions. If you live in a master-planned community, your HOA architectural standards will also govern the fence height, material, color, and setback. Before you start, contact the Richardson building department or your HOA to confirm what applies to your property. We can help you navigate the process.

What happens if a spring storm damages my fence?

North Texas spring storms, from March through June, can snap fence panels, bend gates, and uproot posts. If your fence sustains storm damage, call us at (940) 326-4616 for a free damage assessment. We'll document what failed, why, and what it costs to repair or replace. If the damage is covered under your homeowners insurance, we can help you document the damage for your claim. We don't chase storms with fear tactics, we just show up, assess honestly, and give you a fair price to put it right.

My HOA has strict fence rules. Will you help me stay compliant?

Yes. We work with HOA architectural standards every day in Richardson and the surrounding Plano area. Before we start, we confirm the fence height, material, color, and style with your HOA guidelines. If your HOA requires architectural approval before construction, we can help you understand what the rules allow and what the finished fence will look like. We install to code and to your HOA's requirements, so you don't have to worry about a compliance issue after the work is done.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. Fully insured crews handle all fence installation, repair, and replacement work on your Richardson property.

What should I do if my neighbor's tree branches hang over my fence?

Property line disputes and overhanging branches are common in Richardson's older neighborhoods where mature trees have grown large over decades. In Texas, you have the right to trim branches that cross your property line back to the property line, but you cannot enter your neighbor's property to do it and you cannot cut the tree down. If the overhang is severe or the tree is large, a professional arborist can assess the situation and recommend safe trimming. If the tree itself is damaged or poses a hazard, encourage your neighbor to have it inspected. If you and your neighbor disagree about the tree, mediation or a survey by a licensed land surveyor may help clarify the boundary and resolve the issue.
