Fence Installation in Weslaco, TX

Your clay ground swells after rain and walks a shallow post out of line. Along an open field, a long run shows every post that sits out of plumb.

In Weslaco we install wood, chain link, vinyl and ranch fence, 72 minutes out from Rio Grande City. A city lot runs two days, posts the first day and panels the second. If your line runs along a field or a drainage ditch, we establish where it actually falls before anything gets augered.

Local conditions02

What houses in Weslaco actually deal with

Weslaco is zone 3, so the estimate carries a travel line and you see it at the measure rather than after the posts are in. A back yard that ends at a field changes the math more than the zone does. The line is longer than a city lot, corners along an open run need bracing, and clay ground takes more concrete per post than the caliche we auger in Starr County.

  • Weslaco grew out of farmland, so many back yards end where a field or a farm road begins.
  • Those lines are long and open, and a long line shows every post that sits out of plumb.
  • Subdivisions from the sixties and seventies still carry their original chain link, rusted through at the bottom.
  • The ground here is heavy clay, not the caliche we auger through in Starr County.
  • Clay holds water after a rain and swells, which walks a shallow post out of line.
  • Lots that back onto a canal bank or a drainage ditch usually carry an easement across the rear.
Permits and requirements
  • Height limits and what may stand in a front yard are set city by city, and there is no single number that holds across the Valley. We confirm yours at the measure and pull the permit in your name before the auger starts.
  • A canal bank, a ditch or a drainage easement belongs to the district that holds it. We confirm what may sit there before we quote.
  • If your lot sits past the Weslaco city limits, county rules apply instead of the city ones. On a long farm edge line the easement usually decides more than either, but we still tell you which set covers you at the measure.

Questions we get04

What people in Weslaco ask us

Our Weslaco back yard ends at a plowed field. What fence holds up to that?

Wind and dust are the two things working on it. A solid privacy fence takes the full push of an open field. Posts go deeper at the corners and the long runs get bracing. Chain link lets the wind through and collects less dirt. We price both against your exposure.

The chain link around our house has been there since the seventies. Is any of it worth keeping?

Sometimes the posts are, and the fabric almost never is. Old galvanized pipe set in concrete often reads solid once we push on it. The mesh is what rusts out along the bottom rail first. We test the line post by post and tell you which ones stay.

Our ground holds water for days after a rain. Will that push the fence out of line?

It will, if the posts are shallow or packed back with loose dirt. Weslaco ground is heavy clay, not the caliche we auger in Starr County. Clay swells wet and shrinks dry, and it walks a post a little each season. Every post we set goes in concrete, and the concrete cures overnight before panels hang.
