Custom fences designed around your Allen home

Your home and yard are unique, so your fence should be too. At Legendary Fence Company Allen, our custom residential fences start with a real conversation at your property, not a one-size-fits-all catalog. We look at how you live: Do you have kids or dogs that need secure play space? Do you back up to a greenbelt, a neighbor’s pool, or a busy street like Stacy or McDermott? Are you in a newer subdivision near Twin Creeks with an HOA, or in an older Allen neighborhood with mature trees and quirks in the lot line?

During your on-site visit, we walk the fence line with you, measure the grade, check for irrigation heads and utilities, and talk through privacy, views, and future plans, such as adding a pool or extending a patio. This is where you decide how much privacy you want, how much maintenance you are comfortable with, and what style matches your brick, stone, or siding.

Because we live and work in Allen, we are familiar with common community guidelines, local soil conditions, and typical lot layouts. That local knowledge helps us suggest practical, good-looking options instead of just “standard” panels. You get a custom fence layout that fits tight corners, easements, and slopes that stock solutions simply do not handle well.

Materials and styles that hold up in North Texas weather

Custom fencing in Allen is all about combining the right material and design with our hot summers, clay soil, and occasional storms. Legendary Fence Company Allen offers a curated set of materials that have proven themselves in local backyards.

Wood fences are still the most popular, especially board-on-board or horizontal styles for privacy. For long life, we typically recommend cedar rather than basic pine, because cedar resists rot and insects better in our heat and humidity. You can choose full-privacy, good-neighbor (alternating boards), or custom top details like cap-and-trim, decorative lattice, or arching pickets. We also talk through stain options and timing, including UV-protective stains that keep the fence from graying too quickly in the Texas sun.

For homeowners who want a more open look or need pool code compliance, we install custom iron or steel fences, often along greenbelts or around backyard pools. You can customize picket spacing, decorative finials, and gate details. These fences are powder-coated to handle intense sun and sudden downpours without peeling.

If you want the look of wood without the upkeep, we can design with composite or vinyl. These materials cost more upfront but require no staining and handle sprinkler overspray well, which is common in compact Allen yards. For customers along busy cut-through streets, we sometimes mix materials, for example, a solid wood privacy fence on the street side and an open metal fence on the interior side facing a view.

How our custom fence process works, step by step

A custom fence project with Legendary Fence Company Allen follows a clear, practical process so you always know what comes next.

1. Initial consultation and site check: We meet at your home, walk the property, take measurements, check slope and drainage, and note existing structures, such as sheds, pool equipment, and air conditioning units. We also ask about pets and kids, because that affects fence height, picket spacing, and gate placement.

2. Design and options: Based on what we see and what you tell us, we sketch a layout, then talk materials, height, gate locations, and any special features, such as double gates for trailers, steel posts for longevity, or sound-reducing full-privacy sections where traffic noise is an issue. For homes in Allen HOAs, we review any available guidelines so your custom fence design will pass review the first time.

3. Transparent pricing: We provide a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, hardware, posts, gates, and labor. Factors that affect cost include total linear footage, choice of wood vs iron vs composite, fence height, number of gates, and any removal of old fencing or overgrown shrubs. Sloped yards, tight access, and rock in the soil can affect labor costs, and we explain those items before you sign.

4. Permits and scheduling: If your project needs a permit or HOA approval, we help you with the information you need. Once everything is cleared, we schedule the work in a realistic window, accounting for weather. Our crews show up when we say they will, which matters when your yard may be open for a short time.

5. Build and cleanup: During installation, we set posts correctly in Allen’s clay soil, using proper depth and concrete so the fence resists movement and wind. We verify property lines as marked or use existing shared fences as reference where appropriate. After installation, we remove old materials and debris, check gates for smooth operation, and walk the project with you to confirm every detail of your custom fence matches the plan.

Common issues with residential fences in Allen and how we prevent them

Homeowners in Allen often call us after living with a problem fence for years. Custom design is not just about looks, it is how we avoid those headaches in the first place.

One frequent issue is leaning or heaving fences due to shifting clay soil. To reduce this risk, our custom residential fences use properly sized steel or wood posts set to the right depth with enough concrete, not just a shallow plug. For taller privacy fences, we often recommend metal posts with wood wrap so you get the strength of steel with the warmth of wood.

Another problem is gates that sag or drag after a year or two. We design gates with appropriate bracing, heavy-duty hinges, and latches suited to your use. For wider double gates, such as for a boat or trailer pad, we may add drop rods or metal frames so they stay aligned instead of slowly bowing.

Drainage is a big factor in many Allen yards, especially where neighboring homes sit close together. If water regularly sits along your fence line, pickets will rot faster and posts can loosen. We look for low spots, downspout discharge locations, and sprinkler patterns. When needed, we incorporate small gaps or raised sections at the bottom where code allows, or suggest minor grading adjustments so water does not sit directly against your new custom fence.

For properties that back up to alleys or shared spaces, privacy and security become top priorities. In those cases, we may recommend taller fences within local limits, stronger locks on rear gates, and continuous top rails to reduce weak points. Every solution is tailored to how your specific Allen property is laid out, not just what is easiest to build.

What to know before you invest in a custom fence

Before you choose a custom fence, it helps to think through a few key questions so your new fence serves you well for a long time.

First, consider lifespan versus budget. A basic pine fence with standard posts will cost less today but may need replacement sooner, especially under constant sun and watering. Upgrading to cedar, using metal posts, and adding a quality stain is a higher initial cost but usually pays off in longer life and better appearance. At Legendary Fence Company Allen, we can price good, better, best options side by side so you can decide where upgrades make the most sense on your property.

Second, clarify how you will use your yard in the next 5 to 10 years. If you are planning a pool, outdoor kitchen, or shed, we design your custom fence so you do not have to tear out a section later. For example, we might add a wider gate now for future equipment access or keep a straight run where a future pool fence can tie in easily.

Third, think about neighbors and property lines. In many Allen neighborhoods, fences are shared or built close to the line. We recommend talking with adjacent neighbors before work starts, especially if replacing an existing shared fence. We can help by providing drawings and measurements to share with them so everyone understands where the new fence will go and how the cost might be split if they are interested.

Finally, be realistic about maintenance. Wood fences need periodic staining or sealing, especially on western exposures that take the brunt of the afternoon sun. If you know you will not want that upkeep, we can help you choose materials and designs that look good with minimal care, instead of promising you a low-maintenance solution that is not realistic. Our goal is to build a custom fence that fits your home, your lifestyle, and the North Texas environment so you feel good about it every time you walk into your backyard.
