Fence Installation in Lubbock-Cooper & Woodrow, TX

Fencing a home near Woodrow and Lubbock-Cooper

This is where Lubbock's growth meets open country. New subdivisions sit next to farm ground and homes on a few acres, so one day we're building a 6 ft cedar privacy fence on a subdivision lot and the next a pipe fence along a rural frontage. Bigger lots make cost per foot matter, so many owners use cedar or vinyl near the house and chain link or pipe on the outer lines.

The area is exposed. With few windbreaks, spring fronts hit fences hard, and storms can be rough. In May 2020, the National Weather Service logged 2.75-inch hail just northwest of Woodrow. Steel posts, deep footings and open styles on long runs all help a fence survive out here.

Fence permits near Woodrow

Jurisdiction is the first thing we check. Part of this area is inside Lubbock city limits, where the city's fence rules apply. Unincorporated Lubbock County doesn't require or issue building permits and has no zoning, though subdivision rules and deed restrictions can still control fences. Many newer subdivisions have their own HOA covenants, and we review them with you.

Homes on acreage near Woodrow

The Lubbock-Cooper district office sits on Indiana Avenue at the south end of town, and past it the lots open up. On a few acres, a fence usually does several jobs at once: privacy around the patio, a dog yard off the back door, and a perimeter that keeps neighbors' livestock out. We plan those as one layout so gates line up and you aren't paying for more fence than you need.

Tips for a smooth fence project in Lubbock-Cooper & Woodrow

• We confirm city vs. county jurisdiction before planning
• Mix materials on bigger lots to control cost
• Use steel posts and heavier gates on open, windy lots
