Get Your Free Fence Estimate
A fence on your Abilene, TX lot gives your family a yard that feels private, with a front edge that looks finished from the street. Pets stay in, kids play without a second thought, and you decide how much the neighbors see.
At Everock Fencing, an Abilene fence contractor, we build for city lots, shop yards and acreage at the edge of town. You pick the style and the gates. We handle the layout, the city’s rules and the build.
Fence Installation in Abilene
Know where your fence goes before the first post. We walk your Abilene property with you, measure each run and mark each gate, whether it is a tight city yard, a shop yard or a few acres at the edge of town.
City lots are tight, so gate position decides how the yard works. Tell us where the car pulls in and where the mower comes out, and we place each opening with you before a post goes in.
Estimates are always free. We quote in person, because the measurements, the ground and the gate openings are all visible on site.
Have three things ready: where the car pulls in, where the gates go and how tall you want the fence.
Fence Types
A City Built Along the Tracks
Abilene began in 1881 as a cattle shipping point on the Texas and Pacific Railway, and it became the Taylor County seat in 1883. The Union Pacific line still splits the city into a north side and a south side, and the city limits reach north into Jones County. Whichever side you live on, the plan starts with a walk of your lot.
You get the right rules before the first post. Inside Abilene’s limits, the city’s own rules apply, and we check them before we build, so your fence is right the first time. Because part of the city sits in Jones County, we confirm which rules cover your lot. Before we dig, we call Texas811. They want two working days of notice, and marking public lines is free.
Fence Rules in Abilene
The city sets different height limits for the front yard than for the side and rear yards, and it treats open fences and solid fences differently at the front. It also keeps fences back from the curb and out of the public right of way. Easements and utility lines add their own limits, which is why Texas811 gets a call before we dig.
We check the city’s current rules for your lot and lay out the fence to fit them, so you can choose your style and height knowing what applies. Fences in Jones County, on the north edge of the city, follow the same city rules inside Abilene’s limits.
Sun, Heat and Rain on Your Fence
Abilene gets about 25 inches of rain a year and around 3,150 hours of sunshine. The National Weather Service counts 19 days a year at 100°F or higher. Your fence stands in that sun every day, so the material you choose decides how much care it needs later.
Vinyl keeps its color with no finish to renew. Chain link and pipe need no stain at all. Wood gives the most privacy, and a good stain shields the boards from the sun. We talk through the trade-offs with you on the walk.
Lots Near Creeks and Lakes
Lytle Lake, Kirby Lake and Lake Fort Phantom Hill all sit inside the city, and Clear Creek runs just east of downtown on its way to Elm Creek. If your lot backs onto water, we plan the post line around the bank and the lay of the ground, and we place gates where you can reach them without crossing the slope.
Away from the water, most city lots are quick to lay out, which leaves more of your time for choosing the style and the height.
Fence Jobs Across Abilene
Home lots want privacy and a gate that latches, which is what residential fencing is built around. Shop yards and lots along I-20 and Loop 322 need secure access, which is commercial work. Acreage at the edge of the city needs long runs and strong corners, which is agricultural work.
A leaning or worn run does not have to come out. We replace the damaged section and keep the rest, so you pay only for what needs it. See the fence repair page.

What Happens After You Get In Touch
Three steps, in this order. Nothing is hidden, and nothing starts until you approve the plan.
- You get in touch. Send the short form or call. We can call you back and ask a few questions first, so we know what you want to fence on your property. Estimates are always free.
- We visit and quote in person. We walk your property with you, measure each run and mark the gate spots. We confirm which rules apply to your lot, and you see the itemized quote on site.
- We build, you approve. We request the Texas811 locate and set the posts in concrete. Then we build the fence and hang the gates, and we tidy the work area when we finish.
We Stand Behind the Build
You approve the layout, the height and the gate spots before the first post goes in. Once work starts, the build is ours to get right.
After we build your fence, any fix goes to the front of the schedule. You’re booked first. If the problem is the installation, we fix it.
