Grayson County, TX

Fence Company in Sherman, TX

Sherman is building faster than any city in Grayson County — the Texas Instruments fab campus and GlobalWafers have brought a wave of jobs, and new subdivisions are going in across the west and south sides of town. New rooftops mean new fences: builders’ fences going in, first cedar fences on new lots, and — a few years behind every boom — the first big cycle of staining and repair work.

We install and repair every fence type Sherman properties use. In the newer subdivisions that’s mostly 6-foot cedar privacy fencing (increasingly board-on-board with cap and trim where HOAs set the standard), with ornamental iron on corner lots and around pools. Older neighborhoods near downtown and Austin College tend toward repairs and section replacements on established fences — work where matching the existing fence matters more than starting over. And on the edges of town, where lots turn to acreage, we build pipe and ranch fencing sized for horses and cattle rather than backyards.

Two Sherman-specific notes worth knowing before you plan a fence. First, city fence rules — height limits, corner-lot visibility requirements, and permitting — are set by the City of Sherman and have their own quirks; we confirm the current requirements with the city before any posts go in, so you don’t have to interpret municipal code. Second, the soil: Sherman sits on the same expansive clay as the rest of North Texas, and it’s the main reason fences here lean before they age. We set posts (steel, wherever the budget allows) in footings sized for that movement — it’s the single biggest durability difference between a fence that lasts and one that doesn’t.

If your cedar fence went in during the recent building wave, it’s entering the window where staining determines its lifespan — most cedar in Sherman is ready for its first stain 30–60 days after install and needs re-staining every 2–4 years in Texas sun.
