A residential fence works for your family. It marks your line, keeps kids and pets where you want them and gives you a private place to relax. It also lifts the look of the home from the street. The right fence turns an open lot into a yard you use every day.
At Everock Fencing in Abilene, TX, we plan home fences around the way you live. We build in Abilene and in the towns around it, from Tye to Merkel. You choose the look, and we handle the layout, the rules and the build.
Why Home Fences Get Redone Early
You want a fence that suits the house and passes city rules. The usual trouble is a layout planned after the posts are in, with a gate in the wrong spot or a height over the limit.
We plan the layout, the gates and the height to Abilene’s rules on your lot first, so the posts go in once.
What a Home Fence Does for You
A yard that belongs to you
Get a yard that is yours. A fence sets a clear edge, so you stop sharing the lawn with passing traffic, and the line stays where you put it, day after day.
Safe room for kids and pets
A closed gate and a solid line let children and dogs play without a watch on the street. You can see them from the kitchen window and relax. The gate sits where you walk, so it gets closed out of habit.
A better first look
A fence that suits the house adds structure to the front of the property. It makes the whole lot look planned. Visitors read the edge of your yard before they reach the door.
Privacy when you want it
You decide where the fence closes the view and where it stays open. A patio can be private while the front stays welcoming. Each side of the lot gets the height it needs.
Pick the Fence Type for Your Yard
What the Job Covers From Start to Finish
Layout around you. We draw the layout around your lot, your gates and your daily routine.
Rules and lines. We check the layout against Abilene’s height and setback rules and request the Texas811 locate. That call does not mark private lines such as sprinklers, so you point those out on the visit.
Your fence type. You choose wood, chain link, vinyl or an iron-style fence.
Posts and build. Posts go in concrete, then we build the fence. We plan around pets and kids.
Gates. Gates are sized for people, mowers and vehicles.
Projects Homeowners Ask For Most
Home fences fall into a few jobs. Each one has its own priorities, and we plan the fence around the job and not the other way around.
Backyard enclosure. A full fence around the rear yard for kids, pets and privacy. Gates sit where you carry things in and out.
Front yard line. A low or open fence that marks the edge of the property and frames the house without hiding it.
Side yard and gate. A fence that closes the gap beside the house and gives access for trash bins, a mower and a hose.
Driveway and entrance. A fence with a wide gate that keeps a line along the drive and guides visitors to the door.
Most homes need a mix of these. A rear yard might use a tall solid fence, while the front uses a low open one. We plan the transitions so the whole fence reads as one design.
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 and where. Estimates are always free.
- We visit and quote in person. We walk your yard with you, measure each run and mark the gate spots. You choose the style, the height and the finish, 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, hang the gates and tidy the work area when we finish. We plan around pets and kids.
How Abilene Lots Shape the Plan
Abilene sets one height for the front of a lot and another for the back. The line can climb as it moves away from the street, since the allowed height may taper up to the front building line. Past that point the sides and rear have the full allowance.
That shapes the plan. Privacy goes along the sides and rear, where the full height is allowed. The front stays low or open, and the gates sit where the house needs access. You get a layout that follows the rules and still fits your yard.
Rules That Affect a Home Fence
Planning & Development Services answers placement questions for homes, and Code Compliance covers condition. The city’s published rules for residential areas set the main limits.
A view kept at the front. Solid styles top out at 2½ feet along the front property line, and open styles at 4 feet.
Privacy on the sides and back. The cap is 7 feet.
A clean setback. Keep the fence 10 feet or more from the curb or pavement edge, on your own land.
Paperwork that stays small. A permit and a variance apply only above 7 feet.
A fence that stays compliant. On a fence over 4 feet tall, a lean of more than 1 foot at the top counts as deteriorated. At 4 feet or under, the lean limit is 6 inches.
Lines marked before the first hole. We put in the Texas811 request two working days ahead, and marking public lines is free.
HOA rules sorted early. If your neighborhood has an HOA, its fence rules sit on top of the city’s, and we review them with you before we build.
Quick Habits That Keep a Home Fence Straight
Walk the fence twice a year. Check the gate latch, the bottom edge and any post that moved.
Match the care to the material. Wood needs stain and sealer, vinyl needs a rinse and metal needs touch-up paint. Each material page has the details.
Keep soil and sprinklers off the bottom. Moisture at the base shortens the life of almost any fence.
Fix small problems early. A loose board or a sagging gate costs less to repair the first week than the tenth.
Home Fence Installation in Abilene and the Towns Around It
You get the same visit whether your lot is in Abilene or out toward Tye, Merkel, Buffalo Gap, Hawley or Clyde. Tell us where the lot sits, and we start with the rules for that address.
What Sets the Price of a Home Fence
The total length and the height come first. The material and style come next, since privacy styles use more material than open ones. The site decides the rest: slope, hard digging, the number and width of gates, and any old fence that has to come out first.
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 property line is, where you want gates and how tall the fence should be.
You Go First If Something Needs Fixing
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.
FAQs
What fence is best for a home in Abilene?
It depends on what you need. Wood suits privacy, chain link covers a lot of ground, vinyl needs the least upkeep and iron-style fence suits the front.
How tall can my home fence be?
Along the sides and rear, 7 feet. At the front property line, 2½ feet for solid styles and 4 feet for open ones.
Do I need a permit for a home fence?
Not when the fence is 7 feet or shorter and meets the setbacks. Over 7 feet, a permit and a variance are required.

Yes, within the front limits and at least 10 feet from the curb or pavement edge.
Can you work around my pets and kids?
Yes. We plan around them, and we tidy the work area when we finish.
Does my HOA matter?
