Fence Cost in Dallas-Fort Worth

What drives the price of a new fence in North Texas, and how to measure your yard before you call.

Quick Answer

What a fence costs in Dallas-Fort Worth depends on the material, height, total linear feet, gates, removal of the old fence, slope or rock on the site, and permits. Cedar prices have moved with lumber tariffs since late 2025. S&B Fencing measures your property at a free on-site consultation and prices it from there.

How to Measure Your Fence Line

1
Walk the line you want fenced and measure each side in feet with a tape or measuring wheel.
2
Add the sides together for your total linear feet. Leave out any side your house or an existing fence already covers.
3
Mark where each gate goes and how wide each opening needs to be.
4
Note slopes, trees, rock and drainage along the line.
5
Check your property survey or plat for property lines before the fence goes in.
