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.

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.
