Pflugerville sits on deep Blackland clay east of the escarpment, where two decades of rapid subdivision growth have filled the landscape with ranch homes and newer construction, row after row behind wood privacy fences that face the toughest soil conditions in the Austin area.
Our team at Austin Fence Contractors has been installing and repairing fences across Pflugerville and the surrounding Austin area since 2015. We know the clay soil here, the way it swells and shrinks with the wet-and-dry cycle, how it heaves posts and racks panels, and why most leaning fences in 78660 are a post problem, not a panel problem. When you call us, you get the crew that does the work, not a dispatcher three states away.
Fence Installation and Repair in Pflugerville (78660)
Pflugerville homeowners live on expansive clay soil that moves with every season. When the summer heat dries the ground, clay shrinks and posts settle. When fall and winter rains come, the clay swells and heaves, lifting posts out of plumb and racking fence panels. A fence that looks straight in July may lean noticeably by September. That's not a design flaw; it's soil physics. Posts set in concrete, properly spaced and tamped, hold better than posts set in loose soil, but even the best installation needs periodic inspection on Blackland clay.
We've served Pflugerville and the greater Austin area with wood and vinyl privacy fence, chain link, aluminum and ornamental iron, gates, and automatic driveway gates. Our crews handle fence replacement and removal, fence post repair and replacement, storm damage assessment and repair, and fence staining and restoration. We're AFA Member Installers (American Fence Association), fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and we offer a certificate of insurance on request.

How a Fence Job Works in Pflugerville
Step 1: Contact. Call us at (737) 237-0592 or reach out online. We schedule a free on-site assessment. We walk your property, look at the existing fence or the space where you want one installed, discuss your needs, and explain what we can do and what it will cost. We answer questions about HOA rules, setbacks, and local code. No pressure, no sales pitch.
Step 2: The work. Before we dig any post holes, Texas law requires a utility locate through 811. We call it in and mark the lines. We then set posts at proper spacing, install stringers and rails, attach pickets or panels, and hang gates with hardware that works. On Blackland clay, we set posts in concrete, not just tamped soil. We work from your survey line and install on the boundary you identify. If your HOA has architectural standards for height, material, or color, we coordinate with those rules.
Step 3: Cleanup and walkthrough. We remove debris, haul it away, and leave your property clean. We walk through with you, explain maintenance, and answer any questions about your new fence or repaired gate.
