The Reality

Why Fences Lean and Rot

In Houston, fences face two enemies: soft, wet soil and hurricane-force winds. A standard fence usually fails because the posts are set too shallow, causing them to lean when the ground gets saturated. Furthermore, when pickets touch the dirt, they wick up moisture and rot from the bottom up. We engineer our fences to stand straight and stay dry, regardless of the weather.

The Protocol

The Wind-Lock Standard

We don't just dig holes; we anchor your fence. Every component is selected to maximize lifespan and privacy.

The Anchor

Deep-Set Concrete Posts

The strength of a fence is in the footing. We dig deep post holes and set every post in solid concrete. This lowers the center of gravity, ensuring your fence remains upright even during heavy wind loads and saturated soil conditions.

The Rot Defense

We never let your pickets touch the dirt. We install a 2x6 Treated Rot Board at the base. This sacrificial layer lifts the expensive privacy pickets off the ground, protecting them from moisture and weed eaters.

Premium Lumber

We select high-quality cedar or treated pine pickets that resist warping. Unlike budget fences that gap and twist within months, our materials are chosen for stability and consistent appearance.

Keep Your Cash Reserves Intact

Preserving your cash flow is just as important as protecting your home. We offer plans with 0% interest and terms up to 15 years, allowing you to get forensic-quality work today without the heavy upfront cost.

$0 Down to Start

While 90% of contractors demand 50% cash upfront, we start your project for free. You don't pay a dime until the work begins.

0% Interest for 24 Months

Treat your project like a cash purchase but pay over time. Spread the cost over two full years with absolutely zero interest charged.

Terms Up to 180 Months

Keep your monthly overhead low. We offer extended terms up to 15 years, often resulting in payments lower than a standard utility bill.

Step by Step

How a Fence Installation Works With TGR

No pressure. No surprises. Every fence starts below ground: we set the posts deep in concrete first, then build a straight, rot-resistant fence on top.

One

Fence assessment & measurements

We measure your property, check the fence line and mark where posts and gates will go. You get a plan for a sturdy, beautiful perimeter before any work begins.

Two

Style, wood and gate plan

Choose the style that fits your yard, like board-on-board privacy, and pick cedar or treated pine pickets. We plan where each gate goes and which way it swings.

Three

Utility check & site prep

Underground utilities are marked before any digging begins. The fence line is cleared of rocks, roots and old fencing materials so every post can go in at the right depth.

Four

Deep-set posts in concrete

We dig deep post holes and set every post in solid concrete, so the fence stays upright through heavy wind and saturated soil. Gate posts get extra reinforcement, and the concrete cures before any rails go on.

Five

Rails, rot board & pickets

Level rails connect the posts, a 2x6 treated rot board lifts the pickets off the dirt, and the pickets go on with consistent spacing for a clean, even look.

Six

Walk-through, then you pay

You inspect the finished fence and gates with us. You don't pay until the fence is complete and you've verified the quality.

Straight Answers

Houston Fence Installation FAQs

The questions Houston homeowners ask us most before a new fence goes in.

Do you give free estimates?

Yes. We measure your property first, then you get a clear plan for a sturdy, beautiful perimeter: what it takes and what it costs. Nothing hidden. Nothing inflated.

Why do wood fences lean and rot in Houston?

Most fences fail at the posts and at ground level. Posts set too shallow lean when the soil gets saturated, and pickets that touch the dirt wick up moisture and rot from the bottom up. We set every post deep in solid concrete and lift the pickets off the ground with a treated rot board.

Cedar or pressure-treated pine: which is better?

Cedar is the premium choice: its natural oils and tannins repel insects, resist moisture and prevent decay, and it weathers to a silvery-gray patina. Pressure-treated pine is the budget-friendly option, treated against rot, moisture and termites, but it needs routine sealing or staining and some boards may warp or twist as they dry. We install both and help you choose based on your budget and how much upkeep you want.

Which fence styles do you build?

Board-on-board and side-by-side privacy fences, classic picket fences, modern horizontal slat fences and post-and-rail fences, with matching gates. A custom wood fence is built on site from individual posts, rails and pickets, so it can follow slopes, corners and irregular lot lines.

Do I need a permit or HOA approval for a new fence?

It depends on where you live. Fence height and style rules vary by neighborhood and property type, and HOA approval runs on its own timeline, separate from any city permit. Check your HOA’s fence rules before you settle on a height or style. We handle any permits your project needs and follow local building codes.

Can you build a matching gate?

Yes. When we install a gate as part of a new fence project, we use the same wood species and staining process on both, so they weather evenly. Gate posts get extra reinforcement because they carry the gate’s weight every time it swings, and we set wood gates a few inches above grade so the bottom rail stays out of standing water after storms.

How do I take care of a wood fence?

Clean it at least once a year with mild soap and a soft brush to remove dirt and mildew. Keep plants, vines and mulch away from the boards and posts so moisture can’t collect against the wood, and reapply a sealant or stain every few years to keep water and sun out.

Do you require a deposit?

No. With our $0 Down Payment policy, you pay nothing until the project is complete and secure. No deposits. No progress payments. No liens filed against your home.

Are you insured?

Yes. We carry a $2 Million General Liability policy and Worker’s Compensation coverage to protect your home and our crew. We are happy to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) directly from our provider with your name on it before we step foot on your property.

What warranty comes with a new fence?

Every single project is backed by our Lifetime Transferable Warranty. Because we do the work in-house instead of using scattered subcontractors, you don't get stuck with a bunch of confusing, overlapping warranties. If our workmanship fails, we come back and fix it.
