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.
Western red cedar
Cedar pickets on treated or steel posts — the better choice where the fence is seen and stained.
Treated pine
Pressure-treated pine where the run is long, the budget is tight, or it is a utility fence behind a shop.
Any height, any style
Four-foot dog-ear to eight-foot board-on-board, flat top or cap-and-trim.
Steel posts under wood
Galvanized steel posts behind the pickets where you want wood looks with posts that do not rot.

Why people call about this.
You are not sure which wood
We lay out cedar and pine on the same quote so the difference is in dollars, not sales talk.
The posts rotted before the boards
Wood posts in wet clay go first. Steel posts or proper concrete fix the cause, not just the symptom.
The run is long and the budget is not
Treated pine on a back or side line keeps cedar for where people actually look.
ENNIS, TX
Wood Fence (Cedar & Pine) 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.
