Central East Austin is one of the most actively developing parts of the city. The mix of older cottages and bungalows on established lots alongside newer infill townhomes creates a variety of fence project types. At Legacy Fence Company, we are comfortable working on both ends of that spectrum, from replacing a weathered cedar fence on a 1950s lot to installing a modern horizontal fence on a new construction property.

Fence Services in Central East Austin
Wood fence installation is the most common service we provide in Central East Austin. Cedar board-on-board privacy fencing is standard in the older residential blocks, while horizontal cedar fencing has become increasingly popular on infill properties where homeowners want a more contemporary look.
For low-maintenance alternatives, we offer vinyl fence installation and composite fence installation. Both hold up well in Austin’s climate without needing staining. Composite in particular has grown in popularity on Central East Austin infill homes where the low-maintenance aspect is as important as the appearance.
We handle fence repair for storm-damaged panels, rotted boards, and post problems throughout Central East Austin. The clay soil in this part of Austin causes posts to shift over time, and we can reset or replace them as part of a repair service. If the fence has more issues than it is worth fixing, we will give you an honest assessment and can handle the full fence replacement.
Alley-access properties are common in Central East Austin, and we install alley gates and driveway gates as part of fence projects or as standalone jobs. Fence staining is also available for existing wood fences to protect cedar from UV and heat damage.
Central East Austin Fence Considerations
Central East Austin’s lot density means fence lines often run close to neighboring properties. On shared fence lines, we work to make sure both sides of the fence are properly finished and that the project does not create issues with neighbors. We handle those conversations as part of the project.
Some blocks fall under historic or neighborhood overlay zones that add a review step before construction. Our permit partners are familiar with these requirements and manage the process. You can read about Austin’s general fence permit requirements in our fence permit guide.
Clay soil is consistent throughout Central East Austin, and we set every post with that in mind. Shallow posts shift in expansive clay, especially after heavy rain seasons. We go deep enough to anchor properly and use the right concrete mix to keep posts stable over time. For more on what the installation process looks like, read our guide on preparing your yard for fence installation.
We serve the full East Austin corridor and connect to coverage in East Austin, Downtown Austin, and South Austin.
