Rollins Fence Company designs and installs custom fencing for homes across Fort Worth and surrounding DFW communities. Options can include cedar privacy layouts, overlapping or horizontal boards, wood-and-iron combinations, custom post boxes, caps, trim and coordinated gates.


The design begins with the property—not a preset package. Rollins evaluates privacy goals, fence-line conditions, grade, access, architecture and existing features before defining the recommended scope.

What Makes a Fence  Custom?

A custom fence adapts its layout, structure and details to the way a property looks and functions.


The design may need to:


  • Increase privacy along selected boundaries
  • Transition across changing grade
  • Coordinate private wood sections with open ornamental metal
  • Fit walk, equipment or driveway access
  • Work around landscaping, masonry, pools or retaining walls
  • Match the home's architecture and outdoor areas
  • Replace an outdated layout with a more intentional design


The purpose is not to add features without reason. It is to choose the materials, height, orientation and details that solve the property's actual needs.

Custom Fence Styles for Fort Worth Properties

The best residential fence starts with the job it needs to perform. Define the priorities first, then compare the material, height, layout and gates that support them.

Cedar Privacy Fencing

Cedar offers natural grain and a warm appearance for private yards and outdoor-living spaces. A custom cedar scope can combine side-by-side or overlapping pickets with metal posts, cap-and-trim details, stepped sections and matching gates.

Wood naturally responds to moisture, sunlight and age. The proposal should identify the cedar product, post type, framing, visible details and finish being offered.


Board-on-Board Cedar Fencing

Board-on-board construction overlaps vertical pickets to reduce direct sightlines and create a deeper, more substantial fence face. Specifications still matter: board overlap, cedar grade, posts, rails, fasteners, trim and gate frames can differ between proposals.

Overlapping boards improve visual privacy, but no outdoor wood fence should be described as permanently gap-free or movement-free.


Horizontal Wood Fencing

Horizontal fencing creates a clean architectural profile that can complement contemporary homes and redesigned outdoor spaces. Post spacing, framing, board dimensions, grade changes and gate alignment require deliberate planning because long horizontal lines make transitions more visible.

Confirm horizontal-fence availability and the proposed construction with Rollins before publishing it as part of a specific estimate.


Wood-and-Iron Combinations

Mixed-material fencing can use cedar for screened areas while open ornamental metal preserves visibility, airflow or a formal entrance. Each transition must account for dimensions, attachment points, coatings, grade and material movement.

Custom Gates and Architectural Details

Walk gates, double gates, post boxes, caps, trim and height transitions should be planned with the fence rather than added later. Gate openings must reflect their actual use, whether for pedestrians, lawn equipment or vehicles.

For driveway operators and access controls, visit automatic driveway gate installation. For finish-specific guidance, explore professional fence staining.

Plan Your Fence Around Your Property

Grade, Drainage and Existing Features

On uneven ground, the fence can track the contour or transition through planned steps. The layout should address the top line, lower gaps, drainage, retaining walls, trees, irrigation and gate operation without unnecessarily trapping runoff.

Posts, Framing and Gate Support

The visible fence face is only part of the system. Post material, rail layout, fasteners and gate frames affect appearance and performance. The proposal should define these components instead of relying on broad terms such as “premium.”

Height, Permits and Property Rules

Fence height and placement depend on the property and jurisdiction. Fort Worth currently requires a building permit for solid fences above seven feet and open fences above eight feet. Zoning, front-yard placement, historic districts and HOA rules may create additional restrictions.

Review the current City of Fort Worth residential permit guidance for the specific address. Requirements outside Fort Worth differ.

Utilities and Private Lines

Texas law requires the contractor to contact 811 at least two business days before digging. Public locating may not identify privately owned lines such as some irrigation, landscape-lighting, pool or detached-building utilities. Review the process through Texas 811.

Custom Fencing Frequently Asked Questions

  • What makes a fence custom?

    A custom fence is planned around the property's measurements, grade, privacy, access and architecture. The design can vary by material, height, layout, posts, gates, trim and transitions.

  • What affects custom-fence pricing in Fort Worth?

    Pricing changes with project length, height, materials, layout, removal, grade, posts, gates, access, finish and approval requirements. Rollins must review the property and defined scope before preparing an estimate.

  • How does side-by-side cedar compare with board-on-board?

    In a side-by-side layout, vertical pickets meet along the fence line. Board-on-board uses overlapping pickets for fewer direct sightlines and a layered appearance, generally requiring more material.

  • Can custom fencing combine wood and iron?

    Yes. Wood can provide screening while ornamental metal preserves visibility. Rollins has documented a Hurst project combining the two materials.

  • Can a cedar fence use metal posts?

    Yes, when included in the approved design. Customers can compare exposed, boxed and concealed-post appearances along with their construction and cost considerations.

  • Can Rollins build a taller privacy fence?

    Rollins has completed taller privacy projects, but allowed height depends on the address, jurisdiction and approvals. Fort Worth currently requires a permit for solid fencing above seven feet.


    Explore Custom Residential Fencing

  • How can custom fencing transition across uneven ground?

    Depending on the chosen style and elevation change, the top line can track the grade or transition through planned steps. The design should also address lower gaps, drainage and gate operation.

  • Can the fence and driveway gate be designed together?

    Yes. Coordinated planning aligns openings, posts, infill, finish and clearances. Operators and access controls remain part of the dedicated gate scope.

    Explore Residential Driveway Gates

  • Does custom cedar fencing require maintenance?

    Yes. Cedar responds to sunlight, moisture, irrigation and natural movement. Maintenance needs depend on the wood, finish, exposure and manufacturer guidance.

    Explore Professional Fence Staining

  • How long does custom-fence installation take?

    Timing depends on footage, removal, grade, gate complexity, material availability, utility marking, approvals and weather. Rollins can discuss scheduling after defining the scope.
