The project took about 2 months to complete due to persistent rains, the lead-time on ordering the decorative fence panels, and allowing the concrete for the posts to harden before moving to the next step. The work crews were professional and worked h****** the project. Every little detail was attended to - from the type of latches on the various gates to closing up any small gaps where corner posts met to adding additional braces to make the fence strong for the long-haul. We had initial glitches with the driveway gate operations and Ryan and Tyler were quick to resolve the issues. Overall, we are extremely happy with Hill Country Fence and Ranch. The company is run by two very talented young men who know how to get things done. They take pride in doing quality work.

This company uses random contractors, so there doesn't seem to be any real oversight or responsibility associated with their work. The first time they came out to replace my fence, only two guys came out to dig the post holes and apparently they dug the post holes only one foot deep. The second day, only one guy came out to put up the boards. Lots of walking back and forth totally tore up my grass so that it died in certain places, which caused weeds and other grasses to come in and pretty much ruin my yard. They had to come out within the next couple weeks to fix the gate, which was put on crooked. Within a few months, the fence was already leaning on one side so I called the owner back out to look at it. He said he'd get another guy to come out and look at it which didn't happen for months. In the meantime, I had to get my sprinklers repaired because the original guys had cut through the wires when digging post holes. After that side was fixed, a few months later the entire back line of my fence was also sagging. Again, the owner came back out to look at it and said he'd have another guy come fix it. They waited so many months (with me constantly contacting the owner to try to find out when they'd be coming) that by the time they came, it was cold and my yard was wet and they made a complete mess out of my yard again (more dead grass, more messed up landscaping that I had to fix). I went to turn on my sprinklers a couple weeks ago, and again, not working. Just had to pay to get the wires fixed because the fencing guys had dug a post hole through the sprinkler wires AGAIN! This fencing company was a nightmare and I suggest you avoid it if you want to keep your sanity.

It was refreshing to speak with Dennis and I was particularly happy with the estimate I was given compared to other over-blown estimates I had recieved. Dennis's proposal was fair and reasonable. The approximate cost does not reflect the fact that my wife and I changed our minds about how far we wanted the stone wall to extend off of the house. Originally it was 15 ft, then we changed it to 25 ft which meant that all of the fencing that was installed had to be taken down and moved. Had we not changed our minds, the total cost would have been $6,800. So adding the additional 10 feet of stone wall and moving about 120 ft of fencing to include poles and all was the additional cost. The crew that Dennis has are hard working individuals, and once they got started it was a thing of beauty to watch. We had some delays because of all of the rain and cold weather we had this winter, but once it was clear enough to work, Dennis' crew was back out working. The fence was stained, the gates were fabricated, and they even installed some game fencing on my split rail fencing for free. Overall my wife and I are extremely pleased with the results and could not be more happy. I will use Dominion Fences and Decking again to do more work for me.

Fencing Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in Lakehills, TX
GDI turf have been an amazing company to work with for our backyard landscaping in our brand new home. They provided clear and concise information from the beginning, from design to cost. We had them do other projects as well as fencing and drainage system.

Rob did excellent work. He was friendly and easy to deal with. We made several changes which he handled very well. The finished fence looks very nice and professional.
I had Paw Paws install a fence for me and they used quality material (the posts were much thicker than what is available at the big box stores) and they did a great job ! I will definitely refer them to family, friends and neighbors.

Ryan and Tyler (owners) gave us exactly what we envisioned for the fencing around our 3-acre property. We wanted low maintenance, didn't want to paint the fence every couple of years, wanted to keep the dog in and critters & deer out, wanted an elegant front fence line, and and flexibility...

"Jeff's fence work is awesome. We were told Jeff that would be available for help if there were issues; however, when we call, there is a lack of follow-up, no return calls, emails, and scheduled meetings are stood-up without any call. We have a gate motor that was installed totaling $1,995 that is unreliable that cannot be returned as Nestor has the original purchase paperwork, which we cannot obtain. Nestor recommended this motor and are now saying that this is the "WalMart" version - support is self-help with a 800 number. The better motor is LyftMaster, which we were told that they would recommend, we could order, and they would install (we would, of course, pay him). We have praised Nestor for their work, provided references when called, requested quotes for additional fence work all to be left with problems that we now have to pay several thousand of dollars to fix. Why?"

FAQs for fencing service projects in Lakehills, TX
Yes, most states require a fencing installer to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed fence installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification, which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
Fence installers typically charge by the hour when working on a project. Typically, you can expect to pay around $50 per hour for fence installation. Your project might take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours, depending on the length of your fence, overall project complexity, and fence type.
The average cost to install a fence is between $1,760 and $4,500. These costs are what an average homeowner spends, but you might spend more or less depending on several factors. For a smaller DIY project, you might get away with spending as little as $430, or for a much larger project (like fencing for a 5-acre yard), you can spend in excess of $43,000.
Besides the size of your yard, other factors like your fence material, fence height, site prep, and additional fence features like gates all impact the overall cost. Additionally, the high cost of raw materials and manufacturing can all make the overall price tag higher.
Before you hire a fence installer to build you the fence of your dreams for your yard, it’s important to set expectations up front by asking questions. Some questions to consider include:
Do you offer a warranty?
Do you offer financing or a payment plan?
Do you have references?
Do you have photos of previous work?
What type of fencing materials do you work with?
Only some fences require a permit to build. Factors like where you live, how tall your fence will be, and where in your yard you plan to build all impact the need to have a permit. Below are a few examples of when a permit is needed; it’s always best to check with your fence installer to confirm if a permit is required.
Generally, if you live somewhere rural, like on a farm, there’s a good chance you will not need a fence permit. However, you will most likely need a permit if you live in a highly-populated area. In addition, many privacy fences in your backyard won’t need a permit if it is 6 feet or shorter. However, you might need a permit for anything over 3.5 feet in your front yard.
