Fence removal and replacement clears out the old fence and puts a better one in its place. You get a clean start, a straight line and posts that will stand for years. The old fence comes out, the new one goes in, and you deal with one crew for the whole job.
At Everock Fencing in Abilene, TX, we replace fences across Taylor County, from Merkel to Tye. You decide what comes next, and we handle the tear-out, the layout and the build.
What You Gain From a Fresh Start
A line you can trust.
Get a boundary you can trust. Replacing the old fence lets us recheck the line with you, and the new posts go exactly where you want them.
New posts on solid footings.
Your new fence stands on a base that holds. Old posts often lose their grip over time. New footings give the fence a fresh start.
One crew, one plan.
You deal with one crew from start to finish. The same team takes down the old fence and builds the new one. That leaves no gaps between steps.
A yard that looks finished.
Your whole property looks reset. A new fence is the first thing a visitor sees from the street. New posts, rails and boards run in one clean line.

Replacing With the Fence You Want
Replacement is a chance to choose again. You can match what you had, or change it to suit how you live now.
Same style.
We rebuild the same kind of fence along the same line. The yard looks familiar and the fence is new.
New material.
Move from wood to vinyl, chain link to iron, or open to solid. Each material page has the details.
New layout.
Shift a gate, extend a run or change a height. We plan the changes with you.
Partial removal.
Take out one failed stretch and keep the rest. We tie the new section into the old one.
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 comes out and what goes in. Estimates are always free.
- We visit and quote in person. We walk the fence line with you and mark what comes out and what stays. You see the itemized quote for the removal and the new fence on site.
- We replace, you approve. We request the Texas811 locate and take out the old fence. Then we set the new posts in concrete, build the new fence and tidy the work area when we finish.
What Abilene Counts as a Worn Fence
Abilene’s Code Compliance office judges a fence by its condition. Under Chapter 19, a fence over 4 feet tall is deteriorated when it leans more than 1 foot from vertical at the top, and a fence 4 feet or shorter when it leans more than 6 inches. Broken, loose or missing parts count as well, and so does bracing that is visible from public streets.
That gives you a simple test. A fence propped with braces you can see from the street is already past repair. A fence that leans along its whole length rarely comes back with a patch. In those cases, replacement is the sound choice, and we show you the damage so you see why.
Parts of the Job We Handle
A replacement has two halves, and each one needs care.
Tear-out.
We take down boards, panels or mesh, pull the posts and cut away old footings where we can.
Haul-away.
We clear the old material so your yard is not left with a pile.
Layout.
We recheck the line before the new posts go in. Rules and property markers decide where the new fence stands.
Build.
New posts go in concrete, and the fence goes up as a new project.
Gates.
We hang new gates in the new line and set them level.
Rules That Apply to the New Fence
A replacement fence follows the same rules as a new one. Planning & Development Services answers placement questions, and Code Compliance handles condition.
Heights that fit the line.
Sides and rear can reach 7 feet. At the front property line, the cap is 2½ feet for solid fences and 4 feet for open ones.
A clean setback.
The new line stands 10 feet or more from the curb or pavement edge, off the public right-of-way.
Paperwork that stays small.
A building permit is needed only above 7 feet, and that height also takes a variance.
Lines marked before the first hole.
The Texas811 request goes in two working days ahead of the first post pulled or hole dug, and public lines are marked free.
HOA rules sorted early.
If your neighborhood has an HOA, we review its rules with you before we start.
Care for the New Fence
Finish wood early.
A new wood fence needs time to dry, then stain and sealer. Each material page has the steps.
Look it over after storms.
Early checks catch small problems.
Keep the base clear.
Soil, mulch and sprinklers shorten the life of any fence.
Oil the gates.
A drop on the hinges keeps them moving easily.
Plan for refresh.
A little attention each year keeps the fence ahead of wear.
Fence Removal and Replacement in Abilene and the Towns Around It
You get the same visit whether your fence is in Abilene or out toward Tye, Merkel, Buffalo Gap, Hawley or Clyde. Tell us where the fence sits, and we start with the rules for that address.
What Changes the Price of a Replacement
The size of the old fence sets the first part, since removal takes labor and haul-away. The new fence is the next part, set by its length, height, material and style. The site decides the rest: hard digging, slope, the number of gates and access for equipment.
Estimates are always free. Quoting in person is the preferred way, because the measurements, the ground and the gate openings are all visible on site.
The visit is free. Have three things ready: where the old line runs, what you want the new fence to be and where the gates go.
You Go First After the New Fence Goes Up
You approve the new layout, the height and the gate spots before we dig. Beyond that point, 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.
FAQs
Do you take the old fence down?
Yes. We take down the old fence, pull the posts and clear the material.
Can I reuse any of the old fence?
Sometimes. If posts or panels are sound, we tell you what can stay.
How do I know when to replace instead of repair?
A fence that leans along its length, has many failed parts or sits on braces visible from the street is ready for replacement.
Do I need a permit?
Not for a fence of 7 feet or less that meets the setbacks. Over 7 feet, a permit and a variance are required.
Who calls before digging?
We do. Texas811 wants two working days of notice, and marking public lines is free.
Do you work outside the Abilene city limits?
Yes. We work across Taylor County. The location of your property decides which rules apply, and we check them first.
Do you charge for estimates?
No. Estimates are always free, and quoting in person is preferred.
Walk the Old Line With Us
Walk the old fence with us and decide what stays and what goes. We check the line, measure the runs and talk through the new fence. The estimate costs nothing, and you leave with a plan from tear-out to the last gate.
