Fencing a home in Wolfforth
Growth like that means a lot of new homes, and new homes mean first fences. Most Wolfforth calls are backyard privacy fences on newer lots, pool barriers, and upgrades to builder fences that went in on wood posts and started leaning after a couple of windy springs. Cedar on galvanized steel posts is the most popular choice, with vinyl a close second for owners who are done with staining.
Western edge lots face open country, and wind and blowing dust come straight across. Open ornamental steel on the exposed side and privacy along the neighbors is a layout that works well here.
Fence permits in Wolfforth
Wolfforth is its own city, so Lubbock's rules don't apply. The City of Wolfforth issues construction permits through its online public portal, and its building department notes that some neighborhoods require architectural review approval before a construction permit is issued. We check your neighborhood's requirements and the city's, prepare the review package and file what's needed. Wolfforth building permits can be reached at (806) 855-4134, at City Hall on Main Street.
Frenship families and first fences
Frenship ISD has 14 schools, four of them in Wolfforth, and many of our Wolfforth customers are families who just moved in and want the backyard enclosed for kids and dogs. On a new lot there's no tear-out, so the decisions are style, height, gate placement and the color your neighborhood allows. We bring samples and the neighborhood's standards to the estimate so you can decide on the spot.
The Marsha Sharp Freeway runs along Wolfforth's south side, and lots near it and near open fields take more wind than interior streets. For those, we recommend heavier corner and gate posts and sometimes a semi-privacy top or open steel section to cut the load on a long solid run.

- Expect architectural review in many newer Wolfforth neighborhoods
