Fence Company in Livingston, TX

Livingston is the Polk County seat and the biggest town on this side of Lake Livingston, where US-59 and US-190 cross. It has more kinds of property than any other town we serve: older neighborhoods and new subdivisions in town, commercial frontage along the highways, and pasture and timber on every road out. We cross the bridge from Onalaska to Livingston most weeks, and we build all three kinds of fence there.

Residential fencing in town

Lots in Livingston run from small in-town yards to half-acre subdivision lots, and the fence that fits most of them is a six-foot wood privacy fence across the back and sides, sometimes with a picket or ornamental fence out front where the neighborhood expects an open look. Chain link is the practical answer for dog yards and rentals. Walk gates on every one, and a double gate where the boat or the trailer lives in the backyard.

Commercial fencing along the highways

Businesses on US-59 and US-190, storage facilities, churches, and the shops around the square need fence that works and does not need attention: chain link perimeters with slats, ornamental steel at the street, dumpster enclosures, and gates with openers for controlled access. Commercial fencing covers how we handle those jobs.

Farm and ranch fence on Polk County acreage

Leave town on any farm road and the properties turn to pasture, hay and timber. Barbed wire and field fence on braced corners, cattle panels and corrals at the barn, cross buck and split rail at the road. The corner bracing is what separates a ranch fence that lasts from one that sags, and we build the corners heavy.

Gates and repairs around Livingston

Driveway gates with openers on the county roads, walk gates in town, security and slide gates for businesses. And repair: storm damage, leaning posts, rotted boards, gates that drag. Most of the fences we repair in Livingston were built by someone else, and we match them. See gates and fence repair.

City rules and deed restrictions

Inside Livingston there can be rules about setbacks, fence height near a street and the right-of-way; subdivisions with HOAs have their own. We ask about both before we price a fence and confirm the specifics with the city or the HOA when a lot sits close to a line.

Materials for the Polk County climate

Hot, humid summers, heavy rain, and soil that moves between wet and dry seasons. Cedar or treated pine with a rot board for wood; galvanized, coated or aluminum for metal; Class 3 galvanized wire for ranch fence; posts in concrete below the soft layer, every time. Best fence materials for Texas weather goes into why.

Before we come out

In Livingston the first question is where the lot sits: inside the city limits, in a deed-restricted subdivision, or out on county land, because that decides which rules apply. The second is where the property pins are, since in-town lots are close together and a fence a foot over the line is a fence that gets moved. For commercial jobs, bring the site plan or the landlord's spec. For acreage, think about where the gates go and what has to pass through them.

Scheduling across the bridge

Livingston is a short drive from the shop, so it is easy to fit a small repair between larger jobs. Larger projects get scheduled in full days, and because the schedule fills in spring, the sooner the estimate, the sooner the build. Winter is often the quickest season to get on the calendar.
