Privacy fences in San Antonio need to balance seclusion with airflow during sweltering summers. Our 6-8 foot designs use cedar planks or composite materials spaced to minimize heat retention while blocking sightlines.
For historic areas like King William District, we replicate traditional vertical board patterns that meet preservation guidelines. In newer subdivisions like The Dominion, we install modern horizontal slat fences with powder-coated aluminum frames resistant to pool chemicals.
Posts are set 36" deep in cement with gravel drainage—critical for preventing lean in our clay-heavy soils. Gates include heavy-duty hinges to withstand frequent use and seasonal ground shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How close can you build to my property line?
Bexar County requires 2" setbacks from surveyed boundaries. We handle all permit verifications with the city before installation.
What's the best wood for hot climates?
Pressure-treated pine outperforms cedar in direct sun areas, while cedar lasts longer in partially shaded yards. We'll walk your property to advise.
Do you match existing fences for additions?
Yes—we source materials from local suppliers to blend seamlessly with your current fencing, even for older styles common in Olmos Park.
