FENCING IN SOUTHTOWN

Local Fence Installation and Repair in Southtown

Home › Areas We Serve › Southtown

Southtown is the area just south of downtown San Antonio, along the San Antonio River and South Alamo Street, taking in neighborhoods like King William and Lavaca and the Blue Star Arts Complex. It is full of older homes, small lots, alleys, and a mix of wood, iron, and stone fences. Fence projects here have to look right next to historic houses as well as keep yards private. You Picket Fence Co. builds and repairs wood privacy fences, picket fences, custom gates, and metal-post upgrades in Southtown.

THE GROUND HERE

Soil and Terrain in Southtown

Being close to the San Antonio River, much of Southtown has deep clay and river-deposited soils that hold water after storms. That means posts can shift and wood that touches the ground rots faster. We set posts deep in concrete, keep pickets off the ground, and look at how water drains across your yard before we lay out the fence.

HOAS, NEIGHBORHOODS & PERMITS

Neighborhood Rules and Permits in Southtown

Southtown neighborhoods generally don’t have HOAs, but King William and Lavaca are City of San Antonio historic districts. Fences in a historic district, especially in front and side yards visible from the street, can need approval from the city’s Office of Historic Preservation, which also has design guidelines for materials and height.

Permits: Southtown is part of the City of San Antonio, so fence projects fall under the city’s Development Services Department rather than a separate city hall. Generally, standard residential fences up to a certain height don’t need a permit, while taller fences, some front-yard fences, and fences in historic districts can; HOA rules may also apply. We confirm current requirements for your address before building. (General guidance; confirm current rules with the city before you build.)

POPULAR CHOICES

Popular Fence Styles in Southtown

Rear privacy fences, traditional wood picket fences, gates that match older homes, and repairs that keep an existing fence going are the most common Southtown projects. For similar older-neighborhood work, see our Government Hill and Olmos Park pages.

Many Southtown lots are narrow and share fence lines with two or three neighbors, and some back onto alleys or commercial property. We talk through property lines and neighbor coordination before work starts, and we can build good-neighbor styles that look finished on both sides. Where a property has existing iron or stone sections, we plan the new wood work to meet them cleanly.

Comparing options? Our fence cost guide explains what drives price, and every estimate includes a Wisetack financing option (subject to approval).

WHY YOU PICKET FENCE CO.

Why Southtown Homeowners Call Us

We are a local San Antonio fence company rated 5.0 on Google by our customers, and the owner is involved in estimates and jobs. We measure before we price, put the full scope in writing, and recommend materials based on what holds up in local soil and weather rather than what is cheapest to install. Our standard privacy fences use three pressure-treated rails and posts set deep in concrete, gates are framed to swing and latch cleanly, and we clean the jobsite before we call a project finished.

COMMON QUESTIONS

SOUTHTOWN FENCE FAQ

Do fences in King William or Lavaca need approval?

Often, yes, for fences visible from the street. These are city historic districts. We help you confirm what review your project needs.

Can you repair an older fence instead of replacing it?

Yes. If the posts and framing are sound, replacing pickets, rails, or a few posts can be the better value.

Do you build picket fences?

Yes. We build wood picket and privacy fences and the gates to go with them.
