The installation itself usually takes two to three working days for a normal back yard, spread over about a week so the concrete around the posts can set. The lead time before that is the estimate, any approval you need, the Texas811 locate and our schedule.
What happens, in order
- Free on-site estimate and a written quote.
- HOA approval, or a city permit if the fence is a pool barrier or you are in a town that requires one.
- Texas811 request, at least two working days before digging.
- Old fence out. Posts set in concrete and left to cure.
- Rails, pickets or panels, then gates. Clean-up and a walk along the fence with you.
What slows a fence job down in Amarillo?
- Days too windy to hang panels or pour concrete safely.
- The weeks after a hailstorm or wind event, when repair calls flood in.
- Caliche and old concrete footings in the post holes.
- Association approval that takes a month to come back.
- Special-order colors, ornamental panels and gate operators.
We are getting a dog in three weeks and have no fence. What is fastest?
Call this week. Most Amarillo fences need no permit, so the clock is mainly the locate and the schedule, plus HOA approval if you have one. Chain link and standard cedar pickets are common materials and usually go up quickest. If time runs short, we can fence a dog run off the back door first and finish the rest later.
We are putting in a pool. Fence before or after?
Design both at once and build the fence in two stages. The pool crew needs a wide opening for equipment, so that stretch is closed last. The barrier needs its own city permit in Amarillo and has to be finished and approved before the pool is used.
My association says fix the fallen panels by Monday and my contractor keeps delaying. Can a handyman patch it?
Yes, a temporary handyman patch on your own fence is up to you, and standing the panels back up normally meets the deadline. Before you do it, tell your contractor in writing and check the contract, so nobody disputes later what was done and by whom. A short written note to the association asking for more time after a storm often works too.
