FAQ

Richardson FAQ

Does my HOA in Richardson affect my fence?

It can. The city reports that more than 95% of Richardson is represented by HOAs or neighborhood groups, and those groups can set their own rules on height, style or stain. Bring the guidelines to the estimate so the design works for both.

Can you build a vinyl fence in Richardson?

Yes. Vinyl is one of the materials Richardson permits, and we install vinyl fences along with wood, iron, aluminum and chain link. We’ll talk through the trade-offs of each at the estimate.

How tall can a front-yard fence be in Richardson?

Three feet, and it should be decorative. Taller fences, up to 8 feet, belong between the front wall of the house and the rear property line.
