Fence Company in Coldspring, TX

Coldspring is the San Jacinto County seat, a small town on SH-150 at the south end of Lake Livingston with the Sam Houston National Forest on more than one side. The country around it is pine and hardwood timber cut by farm roads, pasture and hay meadows in the clearings, and lake subdivisions where the roads reach the water. It is a different fence job from Livingston or Onalaska: more trees, more acreage, more gates at the end of long driveways. We work in and around Coldspring regularly.

Fencing timbered acreage

A fence line through the woods starts with clearing. Old wire grown into trees, yaupon and sweetgum in the fence row, and pines leaning on the line all have to come out before a new fence goes in, and the line has to stay wide enough to work in for the life of the fence. Then it is barbed wire or field fence on braced corners, game fence for hunting properties, and hog panel where the feral hogs are rooting. Clearing fences and fence rows covers what the clearing involves.

Driveway gates on the farm roads

Long driveways off SH-150, FM 1514 and the county roads want a gate at the road, and increasingly an opener so nobody gets out in the rain. Tube gates on pipe posts for a working property; ornamental gates for a lake house or a weekend place; openers on solar where there is no power at the road. See driveway gates.

Lake lots from Coldspring to Cape Royale

The lake subdivisions east of town, Cape Royale among them, have sloped lots, soft shoreline soil, architectural rules and owners who want to see the water. We build aluminum, ornamental and black chain link toward the lake and privacy fence between neighbors, with posts set for the soil. See lakefront fencing and Cape Royale.

Homes in town

Lots in and around Coldspring itself take the usual residential fences: privacy across the back, picket or split rail out front, chain link for dogs, and walk gates that latch. Repairs after a storm are a good share of it; see fence repair.

Horses and small farms

Horse properties around Coldspring get smooth, visible fence: no-climb wire with a top board, cross buck, pipe pens. Never barbed wire where horses run. See horse fencing.

Before we come out

Around Coldspring the estimate usually starts with the line itself: where the survey pins are, how much of the line runs through timber, and whether there is old wire in it. Then the gates: what drives through, and whether there is power at the road for an opener. For a lake lot, the community's fence rules and how far the lot goes toward the water. If you can walk the line with us, or flag the corners before we come, it saves everyone time.

Working with the national forest next door

Property that borders Sam Houston National Forest has a federal boundary on one side, and a fence on that line should sit on your side of it with the survey to prove it. Deer and hog pressure along the forest edge is heavy, and gardens and yards near it usually need tall or hog-grade fence. We build along that boundary regularly and will walk it with you before pricing.

Frequently asked questions

Is Coldspring in your regular service area?

Yes. Coldspring is a core service town for us; we are there regularly for ranch fence, lake-lot fence and gates.

Can you fence a lot in a gated community near Coldspring?

Yes. Communities like Cape Royale have their own architectural rules on fence style and height, and we build to them. Bring the rules to the estimate or we will ask the office.

Do you build fence through the woods around Coldspring?

Yes. Much of San Jacinto County is timber, and fence lines through pine and hardwood have to be cleared first. We talk through clearing as part of the estimate.
