Fencing Built for Kendall County Rock and Clay
Boerne is the Kendall County seat, and the city's own website will tell you it's pronounced "Bernie." It was settled for its cooler air and the water of Cibolo Creek. Today it's two towns in one: a little over a mile of old Main Street, the Hill Country Mile, with more than 140 historic structures, and a big ring of newer neighborhoods around it. Say your house is in one of the newer subdivisions. The backyard may still need its first fence, so check your HOA's rules before you pick one. Say it's near Main Street. Then the fence should suit the street, and the permit and site plan still apply.
Building a fence around Boerne isn't like building one on flat, soft ground. The uplands are shallow, stony soil sitting on Hill Country limestone, and post holes hit rock often. Down on the creek terraces it's loamy clay that swells and shrinks with the weather. A post set too shallow in either one will lean sooner or later.
So we drill into the rock and set posts in concrete, deep enough for the fence they carry. We also plan around the local rules. Inside Boerne city limits, a fence needs a permit and a site plan. Fair Oaks Ranch has its own permits. And post holes near live oaks fall under Boerne's oak wilt rules.
Every estimate is free, and it comes in writing, with what went into the price spelled out.

Common Fence Questions in Boerne
What does 100 ft or 200 ft of fence cost?
For a 6 ft wood privacy fence, 100 ft runs about $2,500 to $4,500, 150 ft runs $3,750 to $6,750 and 200 ft runs $5,000 to $9,000.
Who owns the fence between two houses in Texas? Is there a good-neighbor fence law?
Texas has no statewide good-neighbor fence law that makes neighbors split the cost of a fence between homes. A fence generally belongs to the owner whose land it sits on, unless a written agreement, deed restriction or HOA rule says otherwise. This is general information, not legal advice.
What is the best time of year to install a fence?
Fall through spring is the most comfortable stretch to build in the Hill Country, and summer works too with an early start. Inside Boerne or Fair Oaks Ranch city limits, leave time for the permit before the start date.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Boerne?
Yes, inside Boerne city limits. The City of Boerne requires a permit application with a site plan showing where the fence will go, and contractors must be registered with the city to work inside city limits. Fair Oaks Ranch runs its own permits for new fences and additions.
How deep should fence posts go?
Most 6 ft fence posts go about 2 to 3 feet deep, with gate posts and 8 ft fences going deeper. On the stony uplands the hole often hits limestone, so we drill into the rock and set the post in concrete.
