Fence Installation and Repair in Leander, TX
Leander has grown fast, and so has the number of fences that need work. After a few Texas summers, a wood fence can start to lean, warp, and turn gray. GardenGOAT builds new fences and fixes worn ones across Leander, from established homes in Crystal Falls to brand-new streets across the city.
Leander's zoning code sets clear fence rules, and we build to them from day one. A fence along a shared property line can be up to 8 feet tall. A front-yard fence at a single-family home tops out at 3 feet. Every post must sit in a concrete footing. Any fence next to a public street must show its finished side to the street.
Corner lots have one more rule. Within 25 feet of where two streets meet, nothing can be taller than 3 feet or more than 20% solid. That keeps sight lines clear for drivers. We lay out corner fences so they stay safe and legal.
Much of Leander sits on rolling Hill Country ground, so many yards have rocky soil and grade changes. We plan post depth and panel layout for your ground, then remove and haul off the old fence. Call (512) 240-2287 for a free fence estimate in Leander.
Why Leander Homeowners Choose GardenGOAT for Fencing
Built to Leander Code
Posts in concrete footings, the finished side facing the street, and heights that match the zoning code. We check corner sight lines and your HOA rules before we dig, so there is no rework later.
Honest Repair or Replace Advice
Leander code says fences cannot lean, sag, or fall into disrepair, and broken or rotted pieces must be replaced. We tell you if a few new posts and pickets will do the job or if a full replacement makes more sense.
Fire-Smart Tie-Ins
Leander's code encourages a masonry column where a wood fence meets the house. The column separates your home from the fence's flammable wood. We can build that stone or brick column as part of your fence project.

Nicolas is extremely talented in how he approaches landscape design and installation. I recently built a new house, and he worked in partnership with me and my developer to ensure every detail was worked out. He has a wonderful eye for design, choosing plants and flowers that resonated with me personally while also ensuring we installed what would thrive in our native Austin climate and soil. His lighting design and choices literally make the house glow at night, and he's been faithfully following up to ensure watering schedules are working as planned, replacing plants as needed, and generally making sure I'm happy. He's also a delight to work with! He has a great sense of humor, is extremely fair in his pricing, and is kind in how he shows up every day. I've gotten so many compliments on my landscaping, and I couldn't recommend him more! Nicolas - the true Garden GOAT!
Nicolas and GardenGOAT are the best at what they do! I had a rather unusual project this time around, and I felt like Nicolas genuinely cared about finding the right, outside-the-box solution - and making it work within my crazy timeline. He is friendly, reliable, and truly loves what he does. Highly recommend!
I'm very happy with the result! Pleasing aesthetic look just like how I wanted. Garden Goat has impressed me from the beginning with their presentation and communication till the end. Nicolas, the landscaper and also the owner of the company, has been very helpful and patient not just with our HOA and irrigation permit application process (over a year), but also the after-project care. I used about 5 to 7 vendors in the past for different projects, and I will say Garden Goat has most reasonable price and the best service. Totally recommended!
Working with Nicolas at Garden Goat was a great experience! He is very detail oriented and communicative. He has great suggestions on how to improve existing designs and works hard to make sure the work is done right for the client. Highly recommended for all your landscaping needs!
Garden Goat built a limestone sidewalk and entry for my project and the craftsmanship was excellent.
10/10, Nic was amazing, very patient with us from start to finish (this was our first big landscaping project), responsive, transparent on costs and process. He really helped bring our design to life, gave great advice on adjusting our plans to maximize success given the weird micro climate we are in (Hyde Park) his crew was amazing too, great attention to detail. They were just all around great to work with and our yard looks amazing. Highly recommend!
I've hired Nicholas and the Garden Goat team two times for projects and would happily recommend to others. Two years ago, we had irrigation and sod installed which went very smoothly and the sod and sprinklers have held up great over that time. The couple of small adjustments to the irrigation system that were needed have been no problem for Nicholas and team to take care of quickly. At the end of 2025 after getting a handful of quotes, we hired Garden Goat again for irrigation expansion in the back yard, a new path, and a new deck. After a bunch of back and forth on the design for the deck, I'm very happy with the outcome and can't recommend Jose and his carpentry work enough. The whole process was pretty easy and I was rarely if ever waiting on the Garden Goat team for anything.
Top notch experience from beginning to end. I was in touch with the owner/operator and he was both knowledgeable and humble in his expertise. He asked good questions and made suggestions which helped me clarify my answers. I was actually gone the day they came to do the work, but everything was done exactly how it was planned and we loved how it all looked!
We had a fantastic experience with Garden GOAT! Nicolas, the owner, was incredibly professional, attentive, and detail-oriented throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and made sure every part of the job was done thoroughly. The team worked quickly and efficiently, laying new sod and planting additional greenery in our beds—all with excellent attention to detail. Our yard looks amazing now, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend Garden GOAT for anyone looking to improve their outdoor space!

I had my fence replaced by GardenGOAT and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the process was smooth and stress-free. Nicholas was professional, friendly, and easy to work with and his crew were great. The pricing was very reasonable compared to other quotes I received. The new fence looks fantastic and really transforms my yard. Will use GardenGOAT again in the future!
GardenGoat was incredible to work with. Super thorough and extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He was able to help us fix out landscaping and irrigation issues quickly and his pricing is fantastic. I highly recommend them!
We are so happy with our experience with Garden Goat. This is our second project with them and they have succeeded all expectations! They fixed several landscaping and drainage issues. They were always easy to get a hold of and gave fair pricing. We will definitely use them again in the future!
We had a great experience working with Nicholas and the Garden Goat team! Despite being a smaller project for them, we felt like we were treated with as much priority and care as any big project. Nicholas was very communicative throughout the entire process, offering honest and thoughtful advice, as well as fair prices. We never felt pressure to do more than what we needed and appreciated his and his team’s patience with our questions and modifications. They brought our vision to life, the end result is great. We’d be happy to recommend Garden Goat to others!
I had a fantastic experience working with Garden Goat! Nicholas was extremely communicative from the start, taking the time to really understand my goals for my backyard renovation. He stayed on schedule and within budget, and was available and responsive every step of the way—right up until every detail was complete. I was so impressed with the quality of work and professionalism that I referred two friends during the project! Before & after photos provided - 5 days for project. Thank you Garden Goat !
Nicolas and his team leads, Jose and Ezekiel, from Garden Goat Landscaping did a great job on my yard. We compared three landscaping companies before deciding, and Garden Goat offered a fair price with quality work. The project took about two months, with phase 1 in winter 2024 and phase 2 in spring 2025. They were very easy to work with, listened to my ideas, and provided helpful suggestions on grass, patio stones, boulders, and even a pergola and deck. At one point, Nicolas even redid the pergola because the original version wasn’t secure, which really showed their commitment to quality. They also fixed my old irrigation system and made sure everything was working well. I’m very happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend Garden Goat Landscaping to anyone looking for a reliable and easy-to-work-with landscaping team.
We had an excellent experience working with Nicolas and his team to rebuild our elevated pool deck. The team was punctual, hard working and reliable. They were very honest and professional through the process and we are delighted with the results. Thank you Garden Goat!
I've worked with Garden Goat twice now and have been delighted both times. Really easy to work with, communicative and punctual, no hassles and really great work. Will definitely have them back any time we need landscaping or irrigation work in the future!
Nicholas did an amazing job! I love the outcome of my front and backyard. He exceeded my expectations. I got a new driveway, irrigation, sod, plants, firepit, and pathways. I would highly recommend him to everyone!
Nicholas and his team were a pleasure to work with on our side and in our backyard. They removed a huge slab of exposed aggregate and installed lueders and pea gravel. We also had some drainage problems when it rained that they were able to address/fix the issues. We have had several heavy rains since the French drain was installed, and it works beautifully.
The Garden Goat crew have been a GREAT FIND! Nicolas and his super hard working crew are fantastic! Great communication. Show up when they say they’re going to. The guys truly get that each job will change a little as you start and help you tweak things as needed on the fly. They pivot really well. If anything goes wrong, because that’s the reality of projects, they are so quick to fix it! We will be working with Garden Goat on a lot of future projects!! I recommend that you absolutely give them a call and a chance to show you what they can do! Oh! And let’s make sure this is noted… THEY ARE SO NICE! The crew is absolutely delightful to have around.
I hired Garden Goat to install turf and irrigation in my backyard. In the beginning Matt was great with getting us an accurate estimate and was super helpful with the design. He answered any and all questions and has the experience with these types of projects. Once we agreed to the job Nicolas contacted me and set up the install date. Nicolas was personable and also answered any questions with the process. All the workers were great and respectful. If you're looking for turf install or any kind of landscaping these guys were great from start to finish. Thanks Matt, Nicolas and Ezekiel!
Leander Fence Questions
Usually not for a typical backyard fence. Leander uses the 2021 International Residential Code, which exempts fences 7 feet tall or less from a building permit. The city's zoning code also exempts fence building from a site development permit, unless the fence could block or change the flow of water. Your HOA is often the bigger step. We check your HOA guidelines and confirm city rules before we build.
Up to 8 feet along a shared property line. In the front yard of a single-family or duplex home, the limit is 3 feet. Near street corners, anything within 25 feet of the intersection must stay at 3 feet or less and no more than 20% solid. Many HOAs also set their own height rules, so we check both.
Yes. Leander's zoning code says all fence posts must have concrete footings. It also says fences must be built to hold up against wind, rain, and temperature swings. We set every post in concrete at the right depth for your soil, which is how we build every fence.
If only a few posts or pickets are bad, a fence repair often makes sense. If many posts lean, boards are rotting at the bottom, or the fence has been patched many times, a new fence is usually the better value. Leander code requires fences to stay in good shape, with no leaning, sagging, or broken pieces. We walk the whole fence line and show you what we find.
Any fence next to a public street must have its finished, smooth side facing the street. A fence built to screen something must have its finished side facing away from what it screens. Between neighbors, your HOA may set the rule. We confirm this before the first board goes up.
Most fence builds take 2 to 5 days, depending on length, material, and ground. Removing an old fence adds a little time. If your HOA needs to approve the design, we plan the build around that review. We also request a utility locate before we dig.
We build with cedar, treated pine, composite, ornamental metal, hog panel, and horizontal slat designs. Cedar is a common choice for backyard privacy. Metal works well for pools and front yards. Note that Leander's zoning code restricts barbed wire in residential zones.
