Taylor sits on the Blackland Prairie clay east of the escarpment, a working farm town where older rural lots and newer subdivisions sit side by side, and where a cracked drought ground and expansive clay soil keep ranch fencing common across property lines.
Austin Fence Contractors has served Taylor and the surrounding Austin area since 2015. Our team knows the terrain here: the clay that heaves fence posts in wet-then-dry cycles, the older wood runs that need repair before replacement, and the newer privacy fences that anchor newer subdivisions. When a fence leans, when a gate drags, or when a storm flattens a run, we show up with the crew that will do the work, not a dispatch office an hour away.
Fence Service in Taylor, Texas (76574)
Taylor's mix of ranch property, older rural acreage, and newer subdivision lots means our team installs and repairs a wide range of fence types. The defining challenge here is the soil itself. Blackland Prairie clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which heaves and racks fence posts at the ground line. Almost every leaning fence we see in Taylor is a post problem, not a panel problem. Posts set in concrete hold longer than tamped posts, and pressure-treated pine or cedar set deep and straight will outlast a fence installed shallow or poorly braced. We also see older wood runs that need repair: split rails, rotted stringers at the ground line, and posts that have shifted over years of clay movement. Storm damage is common too, especially in spring and through hurricane season, when a straight-line wind or a named storm can flatten a run or bend ornamental metal gates off their hinges.
We have been installing and repairing fences in Taylor and the Austin area since 2015. Our team is fully insured, with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We are AFA Member Installers with the American Fence Association, and we offer a certificate of insurance on request.

How a Fence Job Works in Taylor
Step 1: You call us at (737) 237-0592 or request a free on-site assessment. We come out, walk the fence line, check post condition and alignment, look at gate operation and hardware, and talk through what you want to repair or replace. We ask about HOA rules or deed restrictions if your lot is in a master-planned community. We also ask whether you have had a Texas 811 utility locate done, because digging post holes requires a locate by law.
Step 2: We give you an honest estimate. If a post can be reset or a gate rehung, we say so. If a panel is split but the posts are sound, we replace the panel. If a run is leaning hard or posts are rotted at the ground line, we recommend replacement. We work with the materials you choose: pressure-treated pine, cedar, vinyl, chain link, ornamental iron, or aluminum. We set posts in concrete, space them right, and install stringers or rails plumb and level. We brace ornamental gates with anti-sag hardware and hang them on heavy hinges. We also handle pool fence installation to meet local barrier codes, farm and ranch fencing on larger acreage, and automatic driveway gates.
Step 3: We clean up the site, haul debris, and walk the fence line with you at the end. You leave with a fence that holds.
Fence pricing in Taylor depends on the material, the length of the run, post condition, and site access. A basic chain link fence runs from $19 per linear foot. Wood privacy fence starts at $32 per linear foot, and vinyl at $42 per linear foot. Ornamental iron or aluminum runs $48 per linear foot or more. Repair work for a single leaning or damaged post runs from $480 to $525 depending on depth and concrete set. A gate installation or repair starts at $525. Automatic driveway gates start at $3,200 and vary by operator and gate style. Storm damage assessment is free. For a realistic quote on your property, call us at (737) 237-0592 and we will come out and measure the run, check the posts, and give you a number.
