Fencing a home in Kelsey Park
Kelsey Park has both front-entry homes and rear-entry, alley-loaded sections, and the fence plan changes with the layout. On front-entry streets, the backyard fence usually runs the rear and side lines with a walk gate on each side. On rear-entry lots, the back fence meets the garage and alley, so drive and alley gates, clearance for carts and room to back out all matter.
Like most new south Lubbock neighborhoods, Kelsey Park has an HOA, and fence height, material and color generally need approval before work starts. We'll prepare the layout drawing and product information for your application. New lots out here are wide open to the wind, with fewer trees and buildings to break it, which is why we recommend steel posts and heavier gate posts even on a first fence.
If you're adding a pool, plan the fence and the barrier together. A properly built privacy or ornamental steel fence with self-closing, self-latching gates can often serve both purposes, as long as it meets Lubbock's adopted pool code.
Fast growth and spring storms
Kelsey Park sits in Lubbock-Cooper ISD, one of the fastest-growing school districts in Texas, and new streets keep filling in around it. Spring storms are part of life this far south. In May 2020, the National Weather Service measured 2.75-inch hail a few miles away near Woodrow. Cedar pickets on steel posts take that kind of storm well, and damaged pickets are easy to replace.
Fence permits in Kelsey Park
Kelsey Park is inside Lubbock city limits, so the City of Lubbock's rules apply. Fences up to 7 ft are exempt from a building permit under the city code, while taller fences and retaining walls over 4 ft need one from Building Safety (806-775-2087). On corner lots, anything over 3 ft has to stay out of the 25 ft visibility triangle. We check all of it and file when a permit is needed. Details are in our Lubbock fence permit guide.
Tips for a smooth fence project in Kelsey Park
- Get HOA approval before the build. We prepare the drawing and specs
- Rear-entry lots: plan gates around the garage and alley
- Open lots catch more wind, so steel posts pay off on a first fence
