Fence Installation in San Benito, TX

Water standing along your line rots wood pickets from the ground up. Steel posts do not wick that water, and a rot board at grade takes the wear.

We build fences in San Benito, about 100 minutes from our base in Rio Grande City. Lots near the resacas hold water, so post holes here go deeper and take more concrete. We measure your line on the ground and count gates separately. The written estimate arrives within 48 hours.

Local conditions02

What houses in San Benito actually deal with

San Benito sits in zone 4, about 100 minutes out, so the travel rule for zones 3 and 4 applies, and you hear that number before you commit. What separates one quote in this town from another is the ground. A hole that fills while it is being dug takes a wider dig, more concrete and more time, so a lot by the resaca and a lot on higher ground never come out the same.

Fence work in San Benito splits between town lots near Harlingen and bigger lots out toward the fields.
On the resaca side the water table is close enough that a post hole can fill while the crew is still digging it.
Water sits at the bottom of the line after a heavy rain, so wood pickets rot from the ground up.
Outside the city limits the runs get long, and a quarter mile of line changes how the job is staged.
Brush and huisache grow into the old line, so clearing comes before the auger.
Gates on the rural lots here take a trailer or a tractor, not just people, so they get framed wider and cross braced.

Permits and requirements

Fence height rules and front yard rules change by city. We check what San Benito allows at your address before we quote, and we pull what is required.
Lots outside the city limits answer to the county, and the requirements there are different. We read your address against both.
Resacas, canals and drainage ditches usually carry an easement held by a district. We find out who holds it before we set a line near it.

Questions we get04

What people in San Benito ask us

My last fence rotted out at the bottom where the water stands. What stops that?

Three things, and none of them are the picket. Steel posts set in concrete instead of wood, because steel does not wick water. A rot board at grade that takes the wear and can be swapped later. And a gap under the pickets so the wood is not sitting in mud. Those show as visible lines on the estimate.

My lot outside San Benito runs deep. Does a long fence cost less per foot?

The per foot number usually eases on a long straight run, because the crew sets more posts per day. Corners, gates and turns are what push it back up, and a deep lot has fewer of those per foot. We measure the whole line and write the gates as their own items. You see which part of the fence drives the total.

The ground is still wet from last week. Do we have to wait to set posts?

Sometimes, and we would rather wait than set a post in a hole full of water. A flooded hole waters down the concrete and the post moves later. On soft San Benito lots we pump or bail the hole, widen it and set the post dry. If the whole line is under water, we move your date and tell you the same day.
