At Legacy Fence Company, we have worked throughout South Austin long enough to know what to expect on any kind of property you will find here. We handle everything from a straightforward privacy fence installation on a flat Travis Heights lot to a stepped fence on a sloped Barton Hills property.

Fence Services in South Austin
Wood fence installation is the most requested service in South Austin. Cedar board-on-board privacy fencing is the standard throughout the older residential blocks. On newer infill builds, horizontal cedar has become popular for its cleaner, more modern profile. We build both styles and can match the character of your property and neighborhood.
We offer vinyl fence installation for homeowners who want a low-maintenance fence that holds up without staining. Composite fencing is another option that combines the look of wood with the durability and low-maintenance profile of synthetic materials. Both work well in South Austin’s climate.
Our fence staining service is available as a standalone job for existing wood fences. South Austin properties get significant sun exposure, especially on south-facing fence lines, and untreated cedar breaks down faster in those conditions.
We handle fence repair and fence replacement throughout South Austin. Storm damage, rotted posts, and boards blown loose by wind are all common after Austin storm seasons. We also install custom gates and pool fences for South Austin properties with pools.
What to Know About Fence Installation in South Austin
South Austin lots vary considerably in terms of slope and terrain. Properties in Travis Heights, Barton Hills, and near the greenbelt often have significant grade changes that require stepped or racked fence construction. We design fence lines to follow the terrain naturally rather than forcing a level run across a sloped lot.
Properties near Barton Creek and the greenbelt may be subject to setback requirements or construction restrictions tied to the waterway. Some South Austin lots also fall within flood-zone designations that affect where structures can be built. Our permit partners know these requirements and manage the city process for you. Our fence permit guide covers the general framework if you want to understand the rules before we meet.
South Austin also has some HOA-governed communities, particularly in newer subdivisions south of Slaughter Lane. We are comfortable working within HOA guidelines and can help you review your requirements before we start. For more on what the installation process looks like, read our guide on preparing your yard for fence installation.
We also serve Lakeway, Bee Cave, and Westlake Hills for customers on the southwest side of Austin.
