In Plano, Texas: Fencing decisions break down along three axes: material, height, and length — and each one moves price independently. The 207 U.S. cities with fencing contractors on Recommended.app cover the full residential spectrum, from $15-per-linear-foot chain link to $80-per-linear-foot ornamental aluminum. Cedar privacy at 6 feet runs $35 to $55 installed, vinyl runs $45 to $75, and the prices double if you want anything beyond stock panel designs (custom horizontal slat, board-on-board, full louvered privacy). HOA-restricted neighborhoods narrow the menu hard — many HOAs allow vinyl in only one or two colors, and wood only in specific stains. Always check the HOA architectural guidelines before getting quotes; fencing contractors won''t do it for you, and the wrong choice is an expensive teardown. Gate hardware is the category''s most-overlooked cost: a single 4-foot walk gate runs $400 to $900 fully built and hung; a 12-foot driveway gate with rollers and posts can hit $2,500. Property line confirmation matters more than people think — a fence built three feet inside your line because the contractor didn''t pull a survey is yours to defend in court if a neighbor disputes it later.

What to Look For
Survey the property line before signing — paying $400–$700 for a surveyor saves much larger costs later. Confirm GL + workers' comp insurance (post-hole digging is high-injury work). Specify post setting method: concrete-set, 36" minimum depth, with gravel base for drainage. Read the warranty: 1 year on workmanship is the minimum, 5+ years on materials is reasonable. For HOA-restricted areas, get the approval letter in writing before any work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a fence cost installed?
Chain link: $15–$25 per linear foot. Wood (cedar privacy 6''): $35–$55. Vinyl: $45–$75. Ornamental aluminum: $55–$90. Wrought iron: $75–$150+. Total project for an average suburban backyard (~200 linear feet): $4,000–$15,000 depending on material and complexity.
Do I need a permit for a fence?
Most jurisdictions require permits for any fence over 6 feet, any fence in a front yard, and any fence on a corner-lot setback. Privacy fences along property lines often need only HOA approval, not a city permit. Reputable fencing contractors confirm permit requirements before quoting.
Who owns the fence between two properties?
It depends on who installed it. If you installed it on your side of the property line, you own it and your neighbor has no rights to it (or obligation to maintain it). If the fence is on the line, it''s legally shared in most states, which gets complicated. Always have the property surveyed before installing on or near the line.
What''s the difference between treated and untreated wood fencing?
Pressure-treated pine costs about half what cedar does and lasts 12–20 years with annual staining; untreated pine lasts 5–8 years before rot. Cedar is naturally rot-resistant (20–30 years) and the standard for quality wood fencing. The contractor''s post setting matters more than wood choice — concrete-set posts beat dirt-packed every time.
Will a fence install damage my yard?
Some damage is unavoidable: trenching for posts, removal of vegetation along the line. A good contractor minimizes damage with hand-dug post holes near landscaping and tarps to protect lawn from equipment. Most contractors will not be responsible for sprinkler line damage unless you flag and mark lines before they start — call 811 first.
