Fence Installation in Greenways & Hillside, Amarillo

Fencing a home in Greenways & Hillside

City permit records show steady new-home construction in both neighborhoods, so many of our calls here come from owners of newer homes. Some need a first fence for a dog or a pool. Others want to fix the builder fence, which is often wood on wood posts and starts leaning after a few windy springs.

Upgrading builder fences

Builder fences go up fast and cheap, and in Amarillo's wind the wood posts are usually the first thing to go. A common fix is a steel post retrofit: we replace the wood posts with galvanized steel in concrete and reuse the good boards, or rebuild the whole run on steel. If your neighborhood has an architectural committee, we keep the style and stain consistent with your neighbors. New lots can also have softer fill soil near the house, so we size footings to the ground we actually find.

Fence rules in Greenways & Hillside

Greenways & Hillside is inside Amarillo city limits, so City of Amarillo zoning applies: fences can reach 8 ft behind the front-yard line, 4 ft inside the required front yard, with tighter limits along corner-lot street sides. Most fences 8 ft or under need no building permit. A pool barrier always does, and we file it through the city's online MGO Connect system. Full details are in our Amarillo fence permit guide.

Tips for a smooth fence project in Greenways & Hillside

• Ask about a steel post retrofit for a leaning builder fence
• We match neighborhood style and stain
• Plan pool barriers early, since they always need a permit
