AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Lewisville
Fence installation in Lewisville, TX typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard residential privacy fence, with most projects completed in 2 to 4 days. Lewisville’s expansive clay soil and dense 1980s-90s subdivisions mean post depth and lot-line coordination matter more here than in most DFW cities. If you’re planning a new fence or replacing one that’s leaning after the last wet-dry cycle, call Rowan Construction Group at (470) 298-9650. Grant Rowan and our crews work Lewisville neighborhoods every week, and we’ll give you a written price before any post goes in the ground.

Why Rowan Construction Group Is Lewisville’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
We’ve walked enough Lewisville backyards to know what’s under them. The city’s residential build-out in the 1980s and early 1990s left thousands of brick-veneer homes on post-tension concrete slabs, and those slabs sit on heavily expansive clay. That means a fence post set too shallow heaves, a post set over an unlocated PT cable is a five-figure mistake, and a shared fence line with an HOA neighbor needs paperwork as much as fasteners. Our crews arrive in uniform, background-checked, with a written scope in hand. We don’t ask you to trust a handshake.
Rowan Construction Group was founded in 2007 and has delivered 4,000-plus projects across seven trades, including Fence Installation. Every job, from a 40-foot side yard privacy fence to a full perimeter replacement, gets a flat written price before work starts. No change proceeds without a signed change order. That discipline is why our projects finish within a few percent of the number the customer agreed to, and it’s printed in the Haven Standard, not buried in fine print.
We also answer the phone. A live person picks up 24/7, not a voicemail tree. When you call about a leaning fence near Lake Lewisville or a gate that won’t latch in Timberbrook, you’ll talk to someone who can schedule a site visit and put a number on the page before we leave. And every visit includes a documented photo record of what we found and what we did. It’s not an add-on; it’s standard.

Wood Fence Installation
Wood remains the workhorse for Lewisville lots. Cedar and pressure-treated pine privacy fences dominate the subdivisions east of I-35E, where 6-foot solid panels define lot lines and keep dogs in and afternoon sun off the patio. We set pressure-treated posts 30-36 inches deep to get below the active moisture zone in the clay. Shallower than that, and you’ll see lean after one full wet-dry season. We also recommend steel post anchors where drainage against a slab is poor, because wood-to-soil contact at the base is where most Lewisville fence failures start.
Chain Link Fence Installation
Chain link makes sense for side yards, pool enclosures, and utility runs where you don’t want to block sightlines. In older Lewisville neighborhoods near Old Town, where lots are tighter and some homes predate the 1960s on pier-and-beam foundations, chain link is still common along alleys and garage approaches. We’ll factor in galvanized versus vinyl-coated options and give you a per-foot written price. Sakrete concrete anchors at every post keep the structure square through clay cycles that push and pull at the base.
Vinyl Fence Installation
Vinyl is growing fast in Lewisville, especially in neighborhoods where homeowners want a clean run that won’t require staining every two years. The catch with vinyl on expansive clay is that the panels don’t flex. If the post leans, the panel pops. So the depth and anchoring matter even more. Vinyl fence installation in Lewisville typically runs $3,500-$9,000 for a standard back or side yard, and we use thicker-gauge post reinforcements because the soil movement here is not theoretical. It’s measurable in the gap between your gate and its latch.
Aluminum Fence Installation
Aluminum suits pool enclosures, driveways, and front yard accents where you want a defined line without a solid wall. Lewisville’s pool code and HOA standards often specify black aluminum for water-facing barriers. Aluminum fence installation in Lewisville runs $4,000-$10,000 for typical residential runs. It won’t rust the way iron does in humid springs, and it won’t warp the way wood does through a summer drought. We powder-coated or anodized options depending on exposure, and we set every post below grade with concrete footings.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lewisville
We don’t stock materials we wouldn’t put on our own property. For Lewisville fence work we regularly use Sakrete for post footings because it cures consistently in our heat, and we’ve worked with Cover and Abodu on projects where a fence ties into a backyard ADU or a prefab structure. If you’ve had a contractor quote you a brand you can’t verify, bring us the estimate. We’ll review it line by line at no charge under our Free Second Opinion offer, and we’ll tell you whether the materials and post depth match what Lewisville’s clay actually demands.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Lewisville Homes
- Post heave from shallow digging. A fence set at 18-24 inches will heave within one wet-dry cycle on Blackland Prairie clay. We set at 30-36 inches minimum on every Lewisville job, and deeper for gate posts.
- Missing post-tension cables before digging. On 1980s-90s slab lots, a post hole that hits an unmarked PT cable can trigger structural review and immediate engineering involvement under the city’s building department. We locate the cable grid before any auger touches soil.
- Setback and easement violations. Lewisville’s right-of-way and setback rules are strict on dense infill lots. A fence that crosses a platted utility easement or blocks a neighbor’s existing drainage swale can be torn out at your expense. We check the survey and the plat before quoting.
- Rotted post bases against slab patios. Poor drainage against a post-tension slab patio traps water at the post base. We saw this exact failure on a Timberbrook cedar privacy fence. The fix is drainage first, then post installation, not just yanking out the old lumber.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Lewisville, TX
A typical fence installation in Lewisville runs $3,500 to $9,000. That range covers material choice (pressure-treated pine at the lower end, cedar or premium vinyl at the upper), linear footage, gate count, and access. Here’s how the two most common material-specific ranges break down in this market:
| Fence Type | Lewisville Price Range |
|---|---|
| Vinyl Fence Installation | $3,500 - $9,000 |
| Aluminum Fence Installation | $4,000 - $10,000 |
What moves the number is not markup, it’s access. A tight side yard with poor trailer parking, an HOA rule about work hours, or a post-tension slab that requires cable location before digging all affect the estimate. We’ll show you the numbers in writing, with line items you can screenshot and compare. Call (470) 298-9650 to schedule a free estimate. You get a written price before any work starts. That’s Clause 1.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Lewisville
Fence posts in Lewisville need to be set 30 to 36 inches deep, below the active moisture zone of the Blackland Prairie clay. Anything shallower, like the 18-24 inches some crews use, will heave and lean within a single wet-dry season. For gate posts, we go deeper and use more concrete. If you’re comparing quotes, ask the contractor what depth they’re bidding. If they say 24 inches is fine, they don’t know Lewisville soil. Call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll show you what 36 inches looks like on a written scope.
Yes, in most cases. Lewisville’s building department requires permits for fence replacement when the fence is along a property line, in a right-of-way, or over a certain height, and the city also checks against platted easements and drainage requirements. We pull the permits ourselves and the inspection is on our schedule, not yours. If a contractor tells you a permit isn’t needed, call the city to verify. Then call us at (470) 298-9650 for a written quote that includes the permit line item.
Hitting a post-tension cable on a Lewisville slab lot is a serious event. An unmarked PT cable cut during digging triggers immediate structural engineering involvement under the city’s building department review, and it can turn a $4,000 fence job into a five-figure structural repair. We don’t let it happen. We locate the cable grid before any auger touches soil on any 1980s-90s slab lot. That’s the standard, not the exception. For an estimate that accounts for cable location on your specific lot, call (470) 298-9650.
We handle shared fence lines by documenting everything first. That means checking the HOA’s architectural standards, confirming lot lines with the survey, and getting written agreement from the neighbor on cost share and material choice before we break ground. On a recent Timberbrook job, we coordinated with the homeowner’s HOA on the shared back fence, staggered posts to miss a sprinkler line, and finished with a punch list that included rehanging two gates after the clay settled. The whole point is that nobody is surprised. Call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll walk you through the process for your specific HOA.
Yes, and we do it regularly in Lewisville. The constraints are access and post-tension cable location. On a tight Timberbrook lot, our crew hand-dug each post hole to 36 inches, kept the spoils on a tarp to protect the narrow side yard, and used a trailer parked in the driveway to avoid blocking the neighbor’s mail access. The work is slower than a wide-open yard, and the price reflects that honestly. We’ll quote it as a line item, not a surprise. Call (470) 298-9650 to schedule a site visit and get the written number.
