What We Offer
We provide comprehensive fence installation and fence care services to Forney homeowners and businesses.
A premium cedar privacy fence is the most popular fencing choice in Forney — providing complete backyard privacy, security for children and pets, and a significant boost to property value. We build side-by-side, board-on-board, and cap-and-trim cedar fences in both 6-foot and 8-foot heights, using only premium Western Red Cedar that resists rot, insects, and warping in North Texas conditions. Every post is set in concrete, every rail is securely fastened with galvanized hardware, and every picket is precisely placed for a straight, uniform appearance that impresses.
Ornamental iron fencing adds elegant security and timeless curb appeal to Forney properties. Ideal for front yards, pool enclosures, and estate-style properties, our iron fences feature powder-coated steel that resists rust and UV fading for decades. We offer dozens of styles from classic Victorian to sleek contemporary, with optional brick or stone columns for a grand entrance appearance.
North Texas storms can devastate fences overnight. Our team provides fast, professional fence repair throughout Forney — from replacing storm-damaged boards and leaning posts to fixing sagging gates and re-securing loose hardware. We match replacement materials to your existing fence for a seamless repair that blends perfectly.
Protect your cedar fence investment with professional staining that blocks UV damage, repels moisture, and prevents premature aging. We use commercial-grade airless sprayers for even, deep-penetrating coverage and premium stains that maintain their rich color for 2-3 years between applications.
From simple pedestrian gates to automated driveway entry systems, we build gates that open smoothly, latch securely, and never sag. Heavy-duty posts, anti-sag hardware, and commercial-grade hinges ensure years of trouble-free operation on your Forney property.
We serve Forney businesses with commercial-grade fencing including chain link, security iron, dumpster enclosures, and automated access control gates. Fully licensed, insured, and experienced in commercial construction environments.

Based in nearby Heath, we serve Forney homeowners regularly and know the local codes, HOA requirements, and soil conditions specific to your neighborhood. We provide detailed written estimates with clear pricing, never pressure you into unnecessary upgrades, and deliver exactly what we promise.

Local Knowledge
Forney, Texas is a booming Kaufman County city east of Dallas with new residential development and a family-oriented community. Located in Kaufman County with zip codes including 75126, Forney features established neighborhoods such as Windmill Farms, Devonshire, Mustang Creek, Heritage Square. The residential properties throughout Forney represent a wide range of fencing needs — from new construction homes that need their first fence to established properties with aging fences due for replacement or repair. The North Texas clay soil found throughout Forney presents significant challenges for fence construction: it expands when wet and contracts when dry, creating the soil movement that causes fence posts to shift, lean, and eventually fail. This is why proper post depth and concrete footing size are so critical in Forney — and why you need a fence contractor who understands these local soil conditions. Summer temperatures routinely exceed 100°F, stressing untreated wood and causing rapid deterioration in fences that haven't been properly stained and sealed. Forney's frequent severe thunderstorms bring damaging winds that test every fence's structural integrity, making quality construction techniques essential.
Expert Tips
Protecting your fence investment in Forney starts with understanding what damages fences in North Texas. The biggest threats are: UV radiation (causes graying, cracking, and fiber breakdown in unprotected wood), moisture (promotes rot, mildew, and fungal growth, especially at ground contact points), wind (tests structural integrity and exploits any weak points in posts, rails, and hardware), and soil movement (Forney's expansive clay soil shifts with moisture changes, pushing fence posts out of alignment). Professional staining addresses UV and moisture threats — have your cedar fence stained every 2-3 years with a quality, penetrating stain. For structural protection, ensure your posts are set in adequate concrete footings (a minimum of 30 inches deep in Forney's clay soil). Keep sprinklers aimed away from your fence and clear any soil or mulch buildup from the base of posts and pickets. After storms, inspect for any leaning or damage and address it immediately — small problems become big problems quickly if ignored. For gate maintenance, lubricate hinges annually with WD-40 or silicone spray, and check that latches are engaging properly. A well-maintained fence in Forney should last 20-25 years, but a neglected one may need replacement in under 10.
