Arlington is a dense mid-cities suburb between Dallas and Fort Worth, with a housing stock that spans from 1950s and 1960s post-war ranch homes in the city's older eastern and central neighborhoods to newer construction in the southern sections near Mansfield. Lot sizes in Arlington are generally smaller than in the rural and semi-rural areas to the south, which means fence lines are shorter but access between properties is tighter. The city's older neighborhoods carry decades of deferred fence maintenance, with many original wood fences from the 1970s and 1980s now failing at the post line. The clay soil common across Tarrant County runs through Arlington and creates the same shrink-swell post instability that affects fencing across the broader region.

Arlington's older neighborhoods in the central and eastern parts of the city have some of the highest concentrations of aging wood fences in the service area. Homes built in the 1950s through 1970s often have fences that have been patched repeatedly but never fully replaced. When the posts go, the whole fence goes with them. We pull the old posts, set new ones at the correct depth for Tarrant County clay, and build a fence that does not need to be patched again in five years.
The clay soil in Arlington behaves the same way it does across the rest of Tarrant County: it swells with spring rain and contracts in summer drought, and that cycle pushes fence posts out of plumb over time. Posts set at the standard 24-inch depth sit almost entirely in the active shrink-swell zone. We set posts deeper to anchor below that zone so the fence stays straight through the seasonal cycle.
Arlington's newer southern neighborhoods near Mansfield and Kennedale have a different set of needs. HOA communities in that part of the city often specify vinyl fencing, and homeowners in newer homes are adding composite decks and pergolas to backyards that came with nothing but a concrete slab. We handle both the replacement work in older Arlington and the new installs in the growing southern sections.

Common questions from Arlington, TX customers about our services, process, and coverage.
A cedar fence in Arlington that is set with posts at the correct depth for Tarrant County clay can last 15 to 20 years before the posts need attention. Fences set at the standard shallow depth often start leaning within 5 to 8 years because the posts sit in the active shrink-swell zone and get pushed out of plumb with each wet and dry cycle. Post depth is the single biggest factor in how long a fence lasts in this area.
Yes, cedar fence replacement in Arlington's older central and eastern neighborhoods is one of the most common projects we handle. We remove the old fence and posts, reset new posts at the correct depth, and install new cedar boards. We do not patch old fences when the posts are the problem, because patching boards on a failing post structure does not fix the fence.
Composite decks, pergolas, patio extensions, and gazebos are all services we provide in Arlington. Homeowners in the city's older neighborhoods are updating properties that were built without outdoor living structures, and we build those additions to match the quality of the home. We also handle mother-in-law suites and house additions for Arlington properties where the lot has room.
Horizontal cedar fencing is a popular upgrade in Arlington's mid-century neighborhoods, where homeowners want a more modern look than the original board-on-board style. We install horizontal fencing on new posts set at the correct depth for the local clay soil. The style works well on the smaller lots common in Arlington's established neighborhoods because the horizontal lines make the yard feel wider.
