Fence Installation in San Jacinto, Amarillo
San Jacinto Heights was founded in 1909, and from 1910 to 1926 a trolley line tied it to downtown. Today it's home to the Route 66–Sixth Street Historic District, 13 blocks of shops, antiques and nightlife between Georgia and Forrest.

Fencing a home in San Jacinto
The streets around Sixth Street are full of older homes on modest, narrow lots, most with an alley behind. That means shorter fence runs and plenty of practical work: replacing tired chain link, building a cedar privacy fence along the alley, or adding a secure gate so the trash cans don't live in the front yard.
Small lots near the Mother Road
When Route 66 was designated in 1926, Sixth Street became the first paved highway carrying travelers out of Amarillo to the west, and the neighborhood grew up around it. Its age shows in the fences. We often find two or three generations of old fence on the same property line: a rusted chain link run, an old wood fence beside it, and posts from something older still. We pull it all, confirm the actual line, and build one clean fence. On narrow lots, every foot of side yard counts, so we size gates carefully for a mower or a wheelbarrow.
Fence rules in San Jacinto
San Jacinto 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 San Jacinto
- Old fence layers removed and hauled off
- Gates sized for narrow side yards
- Steel posts so alley fences stop leaning
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you remove several old fences along my alley?
Yes. We tear out old chain link, wood and leftover posts and haul everything away before building the new fence.
What fence works on a narrow San Jacinto lot?
Cedar privacy on steel posts along the alley and sides, with a 4 ft gate. In front, a low fence is limited to 4 ft by city zoning.
Do different rules apply near Sixth Street?
Homes around Sixth Street follow the same City of Amarillo fence rules we use across the city. If your property carries any special designation, we check it before we build.
How much does a fence cost in San Jacinto?
San Jacinto fence runs are usually shorter than in newer subdivisions, so projects often cost less in total even with tear-out included. Typical price ranges by material are in our Amarillo fence cost guide, and your free on-site estimate gives you an exact written price.
