Fence Installation & Fence Replacement in McKinney, TX
McKinney is really three fence markets in one city, and a fence company McKinney TX homeowners can rely on has to know all three. Around the historic downtown square, homes date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, and the work is usually iron or picket fencing that respects the character of the street. On the west side, master-planned communities like Stonebridge Ranch and Craig Ranch carry HOA standards for height, material, and stain color. And on the north side, newer communities such as Trinity Falls and Painted Tree mean clean-slate installs on fresh lots.
We handle all three — custom wrought iron, automatic gates, and cedar privacy fencing, quoted and built by the same in-house crew and never handed off to a subcontractor.

Custom Iron Fence Company McKinney, TX
Wrought iron fence work in McKinney earns its place two ways. In the historic district it keeps a front elevation open and period-appropriate, and on larger west-side lots it marks a property line without walling off the view. We fabricate custom iron panels and gates, powder-coat them to stand up to the Texas sun, and set every post in concrete footings sized for the clay they’re going into.
Iron is also the go-to choice around pools. McKinney requires pool and spa enclosures to meet barrier requirements and pass an inspection, so the gates, latches, and picket spacing have to be right the first time.
Automatic Gate Installation for McKinney Homes & Businesses
Automatic gates in McKinney serve two kinds of property. On the residential side, it’s estate and acreage lots on the edges of town, plus alley-loaded homes where a gate needs a short, reliable swing. On the commercial side, it’s the SH-121 and US-75 corridors, where businesses need controlled access for vehicles, equipment yards, and property perimeters.
We install single swing, dual swing, and sliding gates with keypad, remote, and access-control options — and we pour the footings and run the conduit before a single panel is hung.
Cedar Wood Fence Installation & Replacement in McKinney Backyards
Cedar privacy fencing is still the most requested fence in McKinney backyards, especially in HOA neighborhoods where board-on-board and shadowbox styles are the norm. We set every post 30 to 36 inches deep in concrete, build with quality cedar, and stain to the color you or your HOA choose.
Seal new cedar within 60 to 90 days of installation and it keeps its color for years. Miss that window and the North Texas sun turns it grey fast.

Built for McKinney's Blackland Clay, Historic Lots & HOA Communities
A fence company that knows McKinney’s neighborhoods. McKinney’s homes span a wider age range than almost any city we serve. Homes near the downtown square can be more than a century old, where lot lines, mature trees, and old fence footings all have to be worked around. Stonebridge Ranch has been growing since the late 1980s, so many of its original fences are now due for replacement. In the newer communities on the north side, most homeowners are building their first fence and working through HOA approval at the same time.
Many McKinney neighborhoods have an HOA with its own rules for material, height, and stain color on top of city code. We confirm those details before a single post goes in the ground.
What a fence permit in McKinney actually requires. The City of McKinney requires a permit for a new fence and for changes to an existing fence’s height, location, or material. Straight repairs that don’t change any of those don’t need one. The application includes a site plan — a survey or a hand-drawn plan — showing property lines, the fence location, height, material, and who is building it.
Rear-yard fences can be up to 8 feet 6 inches tall. Front-yard fences are capped at 48 inches and must be at least 50 percent open. Fences that enclose a pool or spa must meet pool barrier requirements and pass an inspection. We prepare the site plan, pull the permit, and handle the inspection as part of the job.
Built for Blackland Prairie clay. McKinney sits on Blackland Prairie clay, which swells when it’s wet and shrinks and cracks when it’s dry. That seasonal movement is the main reason fence posts lean here. A shallow post, or one set without a proper footing, will start to move within a few seasons.
Our crews set posts 30 to 36 inches deep in concrete footings sized for expansive clay. On replacement jobs we also pull out whatever the previous crew left behind — undersized posts, old concrete collars, and fence lines that have drifted off the property line.

Call (469) 544-9707.
Do I need a permit to build or replace a fence in McKinney, TX?
Yes. McKinney requires a permit for a new fence and for any change to an existing fence’s height, location, or material. Repairs that don’t change those things don’t need a permit. The permit fee is $30, and the application needs a site plan showing property lines, fence location, height, and material. Easton Fencing prepares the plan and pulls the permit for you.
How tall can a fence be in McKinney, TX?
Rear-yard fences in McKinney can be up to 8 feet 6 inches tall. Front-yard fences are limited to 48 inches and must be at least 50 percent open, which is why iron and open picket styles are common in front yards. Your HOA may set a lower limit, so check your covenants before choosing a height.
How much does a new fence cost in McKinney?
Fence cost in McKinney depends on linear footage, material, number of gates, and whether an old fence has to be torn out and hauled away. Cedar is usually the most affordable option, custom wrought iron costs the most, and automatic gates are priced separately. We quote on-site and give you a fixed price instead of a per-foot estimate that changes later.
Why do fence posts lean in McKinney?
McKinney sits on Blackland Prairie clay, which expands when wet and shrinks during drought. That movement pushes on any post set too shallow or without a proper footing. Setting posts 30 to 36 inches deep in concrete is what keeps a fence straight through the seasons.
What is the best time of year to install a fence in McKinney?
Fences can be installed year-round in McKinney. Spring is the busiest season, so booking in late summer, fall, or winter usually means a shorter wait. Most residential cedar and iron fences are finished in one to three days, while custom automatic gates need extra time for fabrication.
