Wood and Privacy Fence Installation in Hutto, TX
Wood privacy fences are one of the most common fence types in Hutto backyards. Here is what to know before you ask for a quote.
We connect you with independent local fence installers in Hutto. We are not the installer.
What a privacy fence is
A privacy fence uses solid or nearly solid panels, usually around six feet tall, to block the view into your yard. Wood is the most common material, though vinyl privacy panels are also available.
Common wood choices
Cedar
Cedar resists rot and insects better than many woods and weathers to a silver gray if left untreated. It usually costs more than pine.
Pressure-treated pine
Pine treated to resist rot is a common budget-friendly choice. It benefits from staining or sealing to slow weathering.
Board styles
Side-by-side pickets, board-on-board (overlapping boards with no gaps as the wood shrinks), and horizontal boards are all popular. Ask your installer which styles they build.
What affects the cost
We do not list prices because every yard is different. These are the main factors an installer will look at:
- Total length of fence and its height
- Wood type and board style
- Number and size of gates
- Slope, rock or tree roots along the fence line
- Removing and hauling away an old fence
- Post type, such as wood posts or steel posts
Before you request a quote
- Know your property line. A survey or plat from your closing documents helps avoid disputes with neighbors.
- Check HOA rules. Many Hutto neighborhoods have HOA rules on height, style and stain color.
- Check permits. Permit rules can change, so check with the City of Hutto or ask the installer what is required.
- Utility lines. Lines must be marked before anyone digs post holes. In Texas this is done through 811. Many installers handle the request, so ask.
