Ornamental Fences
Ornamental fences combine security with elegant curb appeal using durable steel or aluminum. These weather-resistant fences resist Texas heat and pests, featuring welded construction and powder-coated finishes for strength. Ideal for residential and commercial properties, they enhance property value while providing secure perimeters for homes, businesses, and public spaces.
Wood Fences
Crafted from high-quality cedar, our wood fences offer privacy, security, and natural beauty. Resistant to rot and insects, they are built with galvanized posts for stability. Perfect for backyards, ranches, and decorative borders, these fences withstand West Texas winds while adding timeless charm to residential and commercial properties.
Chain Link Fences
Chain link fences provide cost-effective security with galvanized steel durability. Ideal for residential yards, commercial properties, and sports facilities, they allow visibility while deterring intruders. We install heights from 4 to 10 feet, with optional privacy slats or barbed wire toppers for enhanced security and customization.
Barbed Wire Fences
Barbed wire fences offer economical solutions for large rural properties, containing livestock and marking boundaries. Constructed with galvanized steel strands, they endure harsh weather and require minimal maintenance. Suitable for cattle ranches, farms, and remote facilities, these fences provide durable, low-maintenance security across expansive acreage.
Automatic Gate Operators
Automatic gate operators enhance convenience and security for driveways and commercial entrances. We install reliable systems with remote, keypad, or sensor access, supporting swing and sliding gates. Solar-powered and smart-control options ensure functionality in diverse settings, with maintenance plans for long-term performance.

Questions
What materials are used for ornamental fences?
Ornamental fences are crafted from high-grade steel or aluminum with powder-coated finishes to prevent corrosion. Steel offers intricate designs, while aluminum provides lightweight, low-maintenance durability.
Do wood fences require regular maintenance?
Yes, wood fences benefit from staining every few years to protect against UV damage and moisture. Cedar fences naturally resist rot but should be sealed for longevity in West Texas climates.
Can chain link fences be made private?
Yes, privacy slats or windscreen fabric can be added to chain link fences. These options obscure visibility while maintaining durability and airflow for residential or commercial use.
Are barbed wire fences safe for livestock?
Barbed wire is effective for cattle but may pose risks for horses or small animals. Proper installation and spacing ensure containment while minimizing injury risks for livestock.
Do you offer military and teacher discounts?
Yes, we offer a 10% discount for active-duty military, veterans, educators, and school staff. Verification with ID is required to apply the discount during the quote process.
How long do automatic gate operators last?
Quality gate operators last 10–15 years with proper maintenance. Residential systems experience less wear than commercial ones, and regular lubrication extends their lifespan.
