Castroville sits in the heart of Medina County farmland, where historic Alsatian architecture meets working ranch properties and family homesteads that stretch across expansive clay soil. The fences that define these properties face real challenges: post heave from wet-and-dry clay cycles, wind exposure across open acreage, and the constant need for sturdy, honest construction that holds up to Texas weather.

San Antonio Fence Company has served Castroville and the surrounding San Antonio area since 2015, and we understand what works here. Whether you own a period home in the historic district needing a fence that respects its character, or you run livestock or crops on acreage in ZIP 78009, we install and repair fences that last. We work from your property line, handle the utility locate, set posts right, and leave your fence standing straight through the seasons.

Fence Service Built for Castroville

Castroville's mix of historic residential properties, active farmland, and ranch operations means we see every fence challenge the region throws at us. The clay soil here swells and shrinks with every wet-and-dry cycle, which heaves fence posts and racks panels if they are not set deep and solid in concrete. Wind across open fields puts real load on posts and bracing. And the humidity means untreated wood rots at the ground line faster than it does in drier country. We know these conditions because we work in them every season.

Our crews are fully insured and bonded, and we hold membership in the American Fence Association. We have been installing and repairing wood privacy fences, vinyl, chain link, ornamental metal, and farm fencing across the San Antonio area and Castroville since 2015. We show up on time, work clean, and explain what we find and what it costs to fix it right.

How We Work in Castroville

You call us at (830) 266-4023 or reach out online, and we schedule a free on-site assessment. We walk your property, look at the existing fence or the line where you want one built, talk through your goals, and give you an honest estimate. We answer questions about local setback rules, HOA requirements if they apply, and what a repair versus replacement makes sense. We do not rush you into a decision.

Once you are ready, we handle the Texas 811 utility locate to mark buried lines before we dig any post holes. We set posts in concrete at proper spacing and depth so they stay put through freeze-thaw and clay heave. We install panels plumb and level, whether that is board-on-board cedar, vinyl privacy, chain link with tension bands, or farm fencing stretched tight. On gates, we hang them square and true with hardware that self-closes and self-latches if you want it, and we set automatic driveway gates on a solid foundation with a clean operator install.

When the job is done, we haul debris, clean up, and walk the line with you. Your property is left the way you want to see it.

Fence pricing in Castroville depends on what you are building and the condition of what you are repairing. A wood privacy fence starts at $27 per linear foot, vinyl at $38 per foot, chain link at $16 per foot, and ornamental metal at $42 per foot. Farm and ranch fencing runs from $12 per foot. A gate installation starts at $475, and an automatic driveway gate from $2,800. Repair work for a leaning post or damaged panel starts at $450. Storm damage assessment is free, and we can help you document damage for an insurance claim. The real cost drivers are post condition, soil access, whether posts need concrete replacement, and the total linear footage. Call us at (830) 266-4023 for a free estimate on your property. We will walk it with you and give you a price that makes sense.

My fence is leaning in Castroville. Is it the posts or the panels?

Almost always the posts. Castroville sits on clay soil that swells when it rains and shrinks when it dries. That movement heaves posts out of the ground or loosens them in their holes. If your fence leans, the posts have likely shifted. We assess which posts are the problem, and whether they can be reset in concrete or need replacement. Panel damage is usually secondary. Call us at (830) 266-4023 and we will tell you what we find.

Can I repair a rotted fence post, or do I need to replace the whole fence?

If one or two posts are rotted at the ground line, replacement of those posts is usually the right call and costs far less than a full fence replacement. We remove the bad post, dig deep, set a new pressure-treated or cedar post in concrete, and rehang the panels. If most of your posts are soft or the fence is more than 15 years old and failing in multiple places, replacement makes more sense. We will tell you which path saves you money.

What is the cost to remove an old fence in Castroville and haul it away?

Fence removal and debris haul runs from $2,400 depending on the linear footage, fence type, and site access. We remove the panels and posts, clear the line, and haul everything off your property. If you are replacing the fence, we can often schedule removal and new installation back-to-back to keep your property open for the shortest time. Call (830) 266-4023 for a quote on your specific job.

Do I need a permit to build a fence in Castroville?

Castroville and Medina County have setback and height rules that vary by zone and property type. Most residential fences are allowed up to 6 feet in the backyard and 4 feet in the front, but you must verify with the Medina County Building Department or the City of Castroville. If you live in a master-planned community or have a deed restriction, your HOA may also have architectural standards. We work from the survey you provide and install on the line you identify. We recommend you check local code before we start, and we are happy to help you understand what you find.

A neighbor's tree branches hang over my fence line in Castroville. What can I do?

In Texas, a property owner can trim branches that cross the property line back to the line, but you cannot enter the neighbor's property to do it and you cannot kill the tree. If the overhang is heavy or the situation is tense, a conversation with your neighbor is the easiest path. If there is a dispute, a property line survey by a licensed surveyor settles where the line actually lies. If the fence itself is damaged by the branches, we can repair or replace the damaged sections. If you have an HOA, they may have rules about tree trimming too. Call us at (830) 266-4023 if fence damage is the issue.

Are your crews fully insured and bonded for fence work?

Yes. We are fully insured and bonded with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We are members of the American Fence Association. When we work on your property in Castroville, you are protected.

How often does a cedar fence need staining or sealing in Castroville?

Castroville's humidity and sun mean a cedar fence benefits from cleaning and re-staining every two to three years to keep the wood from graying and to prevent moisture penetration that leads to rot. We offer fence staining and restoration starting at $950. If you skip staining, plan on a shorter fence life and more post rot at the ground line. Regular maintenance costs less than early replacement.
