Fence Installation Near Friendswood, TX
Most fence installation problems we get called out to in Friendswood trace back to preparation rather than product. Expansive clay soils in this region move posts that were not set deep enough. That is where our time goes on a Galveston County job, and it is why the finish is still holding up years later.

What fence installation costs in Friendswood
We do not publish flat prices for fence installation, because two Friendswood homes can need very different amounts of work behind the same-looking job. What we can tell you is exactly what moves the number, and then put yours in writing after a free walkthrough.
- Cedar versus treated pine, and picket style: side-by-side or board-on-board
- Linear feet, height and gate count
- Post spec: depth, diameter and concrete, sized for clay soil movement
- Steel posts versus wood posts: the upgrade that outlasts the pickets
