Why people call about this.
Theft or trespassing

Equipment and material outside
Yards and lots need a fence that holds up to heavy use.
The gate is the weak spot
A sagging or undersized gate defeats the fence around it.
ATHENS, TX
Commercial & Security Fence in Athens: what’s different here.
Athens is the Henderson County seat, a town of about 12,900 people (2020 census) at the crossing of US-175, SH-31 and SH-19, roughly 60 miles southeast of Dallas. It calls itself the Black-Eyed Pea Capital of the World, is home to Trinity Valley Community College, and has the 1,800-acre Lake Athens on its east side, with Cedar Creek Lake to the northwest. The City of Athens requires a permit for any new or replacement fence (8-foot maximum, smooth side out along a right-of-way, and drive gates in side or rear fences need an approved drive approach and curb cut), and on Lake Athens the Athens Municipal Water Authority separately permits structures built on its shoreline property.
Fence in Athens
An Athens fence needs a city permit even for a replacement, has to go smooth side out where it faces a street and stay at 8 feet or under, and on wooded lots the run has to be cleared around pines and hardwood roots, with posts set through the sandy topsoil into the firmer clay below.
The ground
Athens sits where East Texas begins: sandy loam over dense clay subsoil, with deeper sands toward the east of the county and pines and hardwoods along the fence lines, so posts dig easily at the top but need concrete deep enough to bear on firm ground below the sand.
Homes and lots
Older bungalows and cottages near downtown, 1960s–1990s ranch houses in established subdivisions such as Southwood, lake homes on Lake Athens including the gated Oakwood community, and wooded acreage out on the county roads.
