Manor sits east of Austin on deep Blackland clay, where fast-growing subdivisions have filled in with new wood privacy fences behind every row of homes. If you own property in Manor (78653) or the surrounding Austin area, you know that clay soil and Texas weather are hard on fences: posts heave in wet cycles, wood rots at the ground line, and a leaning fence is usually a post problem, not a panel problem.

Austin Fence Contractors has been serving Manor and the greater Austin area since 2015. We install and repair wood, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental metal fencing, and we handle gates, automatic driveway gates, and storm damage work. When a fence leans or fails, our team diagnoses the real issue, proposes honest repair or replacement, and gets the job done right.

Fencing in Manor (78653): Blackland Clay and Fast Growth

Manor's signature challenge is expansive clay soil. When summer heat dries the ground, clay shrinks and pulls away from fence posts set shallow or without proper concrete. When fall and winter rains come, clay swells and heaves posts upward or sideways, racking the fence line and throwing gates off their hinges. A post set in tamped soil alone will fail. Posts set deep in concrete and spaced correctly hold the line for decades.

New subdivisions in Manor mean new fencing behind every lot, and most of it is pressure-treated pine or cedar privacy fence. Cedar looks better and weathers naturally, but it needs re-staining every two to three years in our humid climate. Pressure-treated pine lasts longer without finish work, though the ground line still rots if water pools around the base. Vinyl and PVC fencing sidestep wood rot entirely, and ornamental metal never rusts if it is powder-coated properly.

We have been installing and repairing fences in Manor and across the Austin area since 2015. Our fully insured crews know how to set posts correctly in Blackland clay, repair leaning fences before they fail, and replace sections or entire runs when repair no longer makes sense.

How a Fence Job Works in Manor

Step one: call us at (737) 237-0592 or request a free on-site estimate. We come out, look at your fence, ask about your goals (privacy, pool safety, property line, gate function), and walk you through options and costs. If your fence is leaning or sagging, we diagnose whether the posts are heaving from clay pressure or rotting at the ground line, and we tell you whether repair or replacement makes sense.

Step two: we schedule the work. Before we dig any post holes, we call 811 for a free utility locate (required by Texas law). We then set new posts deep in concrete, install rails and pickets or panels to your specifications, and ensure everything is level and square. If you have an HOA, we coordinate with your architectural guidelines. In Manor's newer subdivisions, HOA standards often govern fence height, material, and color, and we respect those rules.

Step three: we clean up, haul away old material, and do a final walkthrough with you. Your property is left clean and your fence is ready to hold the line for years.

Fence installation and repair costs in Manor depend on material, length, and soil conditions. Wood privacy fence starts at $32 per linear foot for pressure-treated pine; vinyl runs from $42 per linear foot; chain link from $19 per linear foot. Ornamental metal and aluminum fencing start at $48 per linear foot. A basic fence repair (loose boards, hardware, minor post work) starts at $475. Post replacement or repair runs from $480 per post, depending on depth and concrete work required. A full fence replacement on a typical Manor lot (120 to 150 linear feet) typically ranges from $4,800 to $7,200 for wood or vinyl. Storm damage assessment is free. Call us at (737) 237-0592 for a free on-site estimate tailored to your property, soil conditions, and goals.

Why does my fence lean in Manor? Is it the panels or the posts?

Almost always the posts. Manor's Blackland clay swells and shrinks with wet and dry cycles, heaving posts upward or sideways. A post set shallow or without concrete will fail in a few years. If the panels themselves are cracked or split, we can replace them. But if the fence line is leaning, the posts need to come out and be reset deep in concrete, properly spaced. We diagnose this on site and tell you exactly what is wrong and what it costs to fix.

My fence was damaged in a storm. What do I do?

Call us at (737) 237-0592 right away. We handle storm damage fence repair, including downed sections, torn panels, and gates knocked off their hinges. We offer a free storm damage assessment and can help you document the damage for an insurance claim. We work honestly and price storm jobs fairly, never with fear tactics. If your pool fence was damaged, we also restore it to code compliance.

Should I repair my leaning fence or replace it?

It depends on the panels and the posts. If the panels are sound and the posts are just heaving, we can reset the posts in concrete and straighten the fence. If the panels are rotted or split, or if multiple posts are failing, replacement is the better spend. We assess both options on site and recommend the one that makes sense for your property and budget.

Does Manor require a fence permit?

Fence regulations vary across Greater Austin. Manor may require a permit for new installation or replacement, depending on height and setback. Height limits and corner-visibility rules are set by local code. If your property is in an HOA subdivision (common in Manor), deed restrictions and architectural standards often govern fence height, material, and color. We know the local rules and coordinate with the city and your HOA before we start. Call the Manor city building department or your HOA to confirm requirements for your lot.

My neighbor's branches hang over my fence. What are my rights?

Property line rules in Texas allow you to trim branches that cross the line, but you cannot enter the neighbor's property to do it. If the situation is serious, a licensed land surveyor can determine the exact property line, and you can work with your neighbor or involve a mediator. If you have an HOA, check your architectural guidelines and ask for guidance. We can install or repair your fence on the line you identify, and we work from existing surveys when available.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. Austin Fence Contractors is also an AFA Member Installer through the American Fence Association.

When should I have my wood fence stained or sealed?

Cedar and pressure-treated wood fences in Manor's humid climate need cleaning and re-staining every two to three years to prevent rot and graying. Late summer and early fall, after the wet season, is a good time. We offer fence staining and restoration starting at $1,050. Vinyl and ornamental metal do not require staining or sealing, which is one reason many Manor homeowners choose them for low maintenance.
