Georgetown sits east of Austin's escarpment on Blackland clay, where historic neighborhoods and two decades of subdivision growth mean fences take a beating from the soil itself and the weather that comes with it.
When your privacy fence is leaning, your gate drags, or a storm flattened the line between your property and your neighbor's, Austin Fence Contractors is the team Georgetown homeowners and property managers call. We have been installing and repairing wood, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental iron fencing in Georgetown and the surrounding Austin area since 2015. We know the clay, we know the code, and we show up with the crew that will do the work.
Fencing in Georgetown, Texas (78628)
Georgetown's Blackland clay is the defining fact for every fence on this side of the escarpment. The soil swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries, and that cycle heaves fence posts out of the ground, racks the frame, and tips the whole run out of plumb. Almost every leaning fence in Georgetown is a post problem, not a panel problem. The humidity and the clay also rot untreated wood at the ground line faster than anywhere else in the Austin area. A cedar privacy fence needs re-staining every two to three years to hold up, and a pressure-treated pine post set in clay without concrete will fail in five to seven years.
We serve Georgetown homeowners and property managers with wood and vinyl privacy fences, chain link, aluminum and ornamental iron fencing, gates, and automatic driveway gates. Our crews are fully insured and AFA Member Installers through the American Fence Association. We have been doing this work in Georgetown and the Austin area since 2015, and we know how to build a fence that holds on this soil.

How a Job Works in Georgetown
Step one is a free on-site assessment. Call us at (737) 237-0592 or request a quote online. We will meet you at your property in Georgetown, look at the fence or gate, ask about what you need, and give you honest guidance on whether repair or replacement makes sense. We will also verify setback and height rules with the Georgetown city code and check for any HOA restrictions if your property is in a master-planned community. We will call 811 to locate utilities before we dig any post holes.
Step two is the work itself. Our crews set posts in concrete to fight the clay heave that Georgetown homeowners deal with every wet season. We install wood privacy fence board-on-board or side-by-side, vinyl with proper cap and trim, chain link with tension bands and stretcher bar, and ornamental iron with anti-sag bracing on gates. We coordinate with your HOA if required, and we work around tight lot access and power lines.
Step three is cleanup and a final walkthrough. We haul away all scrap, level and seed disturbed ground, and leave your property clean. You walk the line with us and confirm the work is done right.
A wood privacy fence in Georgetown typically runs from $32 per linear foot for pressure-treated pine to more for cedar or custom board patterns. Vinyl privacy fencing starts at $42 per linear foot. Chain link is the budget option at $19 per linear foot. Ornamental iron and aluminum fencing runs from $48 per linear foot. Fence repair for a leaning section or damaged panels starts at $475. A full post replacement, which is the most common fix for Georgetown's clay, runs from $480 per post because the old concrete has to come out and the new post has to go deep and set solid. Gate installation and repair start at $525. Automatic driveway gates run from $3,200 installed. The exact price depends on the length of the run, the materials you choose, site access, soil conditions, and whether the job is repair or full replacement. We will give you a free estimate over the phone or on site. Call (737) 237-0592 to get started.
