SCOPE
What this service covers.
Only the work we actually do — no padded list. If you are not sure whether your job fits, send a photo and we will tell you straight.
Cedar in a steel frame
Slats set into welded steel frames — the frame carries the span so the wood never has to.
Gap and spacing to choose
Tight for privacy, open for airflow and light, or mixed slat widths for a modern look.
Front-yard and accent runs
Short screens around patios, AC units and pool equipment, as well as full perimeters.
Matching gates
Walk and drive gates built with the same slat line so the run does not break at the gate.

Why people call about this.
The house is modern and the fence is not
A dog-ear picket fence fights a new build. Horizontal lines go with it.
The last horizontal fence sagged
That is a framing problem. Steel frames or tighter spacing solve it.
You want to screen something
Patios, hot tubs and equipment pads are where a short horizontal screen earns its keep.
ENNIS, TX
Horizontal & Modern Fence in Ennis: what’s different here.
Ennis is a railroad town of about 20,000 people (2020 census) in eastern Ellis County, 35 miles south of Dallas on I-45, founded by the Houston and Texas Central Railroad in 1871 and settled heavily by Czech and Slovak families. It is the Official Bluebonnet City of Texas and is growing, with new subdivisions on the edge of town and acre-plus homesites out in the county. The City of Ennis code FAQ says fences under 8 feet do not need a permit, but asks owners to call the Inspections Department (972-875-6442) first to confirm setbacks; HOA guidelines still apply in the newer subdivisions, and Texas811 locates are needed before any post holes.
Fence in Ennis
Ennis fence jobs split two ways: cedar privacy fence built to HOA height and stain rules on new-build lots in Prairie View or Stonewyck Farms, and long acreage runs off SH-34 where privacy fence wraps only the house and back yard and pipe or iron carries the rest of the frontage, all on Blackland clay that heaves shallow posts out of line.
The ground
Ennis sits on Blackland Prairie clay (the Kachina Prairie preserve in town protects a remnant of it), which swells in a wet spring and cracks open in August, so post depth and concrete matter more than the boards on top.
Homes and lots
Older frame houses on the streets around downtown, newer HOA subdivisions such as Prairie View, Stonewyck Farms and Christian Meadows, and acre-plus homesites off SH-34, US-287 and the county roads toward Lake Bardwell.
