How Much Does a Fence Cost in Lubbock, TX?

Where These Numbers Come From

The ranges above blend two kinds of sources. National pricing guides such as HomeGuide (updated February 2026) put wood fences at about $20–$50 per foot installed, 6 ft privacy in wood or vinyl at $25–$60, chain link at $10–$40, vinyl at $30–$60, aluminum at $25–$75 and wrought iron at $50–$85. A Lubbock fence company puts local installs at about $25–$45 per foot on average. Lubbock labor and cedar prices tend to sit in the lower-middle of the national bands, which is where our ranges land.

Example: A Typical Lubbock Backyard

Fencing the alley line and both sides of a standard Lubbock lot often takes 150–200 linear feet. At $22–$45 per foot, 175 ft of 6 ft cedar privacy on steel posts comes to roughly $3,850–$7,900 before gates and tear-out. Add a wide alley gate and removal of the old fence and many projects land between $5,000 and $9,000.

What Changes the Price

• Footage. The biggest factor. Corner lots and deep lots take more fence.
• Posts. Galvanized steel posts cost a little more than treated wood and hold up far better to wind and termites.
• Height. Going from 6 to 8 ft adds material and wind load, and anything over 7 ft needs a City of Lubbock building permit.
• Style. Board-on-board, a top cap, trim boards and kickboards add cost and lifespan.
• Gates. Alley double gates and drive gates take heavier posts and hardware.
• Tear-out. HomeGuide puts removal at about $10–$20 per foot. We itemize it.
• Ground. Slopes near playas or canyon edges, roots and tight side yards add labor.

Pipe and Ranch Fence

Pipe fence pricing follows steel prices, rail count and terrain closely, so we quote it after walking the property.

Ways to Save

• Use chain link or pipe on long back lines and cedar near the house
• Choose side-by-side cedar instead of board-on-board on alley runs
• Keep a sound section of existing fence and replace only what's failing
• Book before spring, when wind damage fills schedules

Reading a Fence Quote

When you compare bids, check that each one lists the same things: total footage, height, picket or panel type, post material (wood or steel), number and width of gates, tear-out and haul-away, and any permit. A low number that leaves out steel posts or removal isn't a real comparison. Our written quotes spell each item out so you can line them up side by side.
