Fence Installation in Edinburg, TX

In the northern subdivisions, young trees give your fence little wind break. A long straight run there takes March gusts with nothing to slow them.

We build and repair fences in Edinburg, about 58 minutes from our Rio Grande City base. Wood, chain link, iron and vinyl. A 150 foot privacy run takes about two days. Posts are set in concrete deep enough to get past the caliche, since that is where an Edinburg fence gives way first.

What houses in Edinburg actually deal with

A fence in Edinburg is priced by the linear foot, then gates, demolition and haul off are added. The 58 minute run out here is not billed to you, since that charge begins in zone 3. Hard caliche and a lot that slopes both add labor to the same footage.

  • The subdivisions north of Edinburg sit on open ground, with young trees and little wind break.
  • A long straight run with no offset takes the full push of a March gust.
  • Blocks near downtown and the county offices still carry chain link from the first owner.
  • Rental houses around the university need a fence a tenant cannot pull apart in a year.
  • Edinburg dirt turns to caliche a foot or two down, and that is what slows the auger.
  • Gates fail first here, because a wide gate on a shifting post stops latching.
Permits and requirements
  • Height, setback and corner sight lines are set by the city, not by the fence company.
  • Those rules change from one Hidalgo County city to the next, so we read the Edinburg ones for your address.
  • Nobody breaks ground on your lot until the gas, water and cable lines are marked.

Questions we get04

What people in Edinburg ask us

Which fence do Edinburg landlords near the university usually choose?

Chain link and six foot wood are the two that come up. Chain link costs less and takes abuse from tenants and mowers. Wood gives privacy, which rents better, but the post has to be set right. We price both on the same estimate so you can compare.

My new Edinburg subdivision came with a builder fence. Can you match it?

Usually yes. Builder fences here are commonly six foot cedar or spruce on thin posts. We match the height and the picket profile, and we set the new posts deeper than the original. Tell us which section you want replaced and the run still reads as one fence.

How do you keep a long fence straight on the open lots north of Edinburg?

String line first, then post spacing that does not stretch to save a hole. Posts go in concrete below the caliche, and corner and gate posts get larger footings. On a run with nothing blocking the wind, we shorten the spacing. A crooked fence is a post problem, not a picket problem.
