Do you work in Midlothian?

Yes. Midlothian is about 50 miles from Corsicana straight up US-287 through Ennis and Waxahachie, and we quote jobs in Lawson Farms, Villages of Walnut Grove, Massey Meadows and the rest of town on site.

Is the ground in Midlothian hard to dig for fence posts?

It can be. The Austin Chalk escarpment runs through the city, so some lots hit limestone close to the surface and need a rock auger to get posts to full depth, while others are deep clay that moves with the weather.

The ground

The Austin Chalk escarpment runs north to south through Midlothian, so depending on the side of town a post hole can hit shallow limestone within a couple of feet or go down through heavy clay, and rock often has to be augered or broken to reach full depth.

Homes and lots

Mostly newer single-family subdivisions such as Lawson Farms, Villages of Walnut Grove, Massey Meadows and Hawkins Meadow, a smaller stock of older homes near downtown, and larger lots and acreage on the edges of town.

Good to know

The City of Midlothian requires a fence permit with a site plan showing property lines, easements, right-of-way and existing buildings (Building Inspections, 215 N. 8th Street, 972-775-7161), master-planned subdivisions typically add HOA guidelines, and Texas811 locates come before any digging.

SERVICES IN MIDLOTHIAN

Everything we do in Midlothian.

FENCE

A Midlothian fence starts with a city permit and site plan that shows easements, then HOA rules in subdivisions like Lawson Farms, and the post holes themselves can run into Austin Chalk limestone a couple of feet down, so the auger setup and post depth are decided before the run is priced.

GATES & OPERATORS

Midlothian drive gates are mostly side-yard gates on subdivision lots that need HOA approval and enough width for a trailer, plus entrances on larger lots at the edge of town, and gate posts set in shallow rock have to be socketed into it rather than sat on top so a heavy gate stays plumb.

CARPORTS, DECKS & RAILS

Carports and patio covers on open Midlothian lots take wind straight across the prairie, so footings are anchored into rock or deep concrete, and on newer homes HOA design rules on roof color and materials usually have to be cleared first.
