Barbed wire, woven wire, and pipe fencing installed on properties across Kerr County - with posts set through limestone bedrock, proper corner bracing, and boundaries confirmed before the first post goes in.
Farm and ranch fencing in Kerrville, TX covers barbed wire perimeter fences, woven wire for goats and sheep, cross-fences for pasture rotation, and pipe fencing for high-use areas, with most rural projects taking two to four days depending on acreage and terrain.
The Texas Hill Country is not easy fencing ground. Edwards Plateau limestone sits just below the surface across most of Kerr County, and Ashe juniper grows back fast along fence lines that are not managed. A fence built without accounting for both of those conditions will be leaning and patched within a few seasons. The local ranching community here knows the difference - and so do we.
If you are managing a smaller property where animals need a contained yard rather than large-acreage working fencing, our pet and dog fencing service is a better starting point. For properties that need both - a working perimeter fence and a separate yard containment area near the house - we handle both in one visit.
Walk your fence line and look for posts tilting away from the wire, especially at corners. In Kerrville's rocky soil, posts that were not set deep enough or properly braced will start to shift after a few dry-wet cycles. A leaning post means the tension holding the whole fence is failing.
If your cattle, goats, or sheep are finding gaps and getting through, your fence is no longer doing its job. In the Hill Country, deer pressure can also push wire down over time, creating gaps that smaller animals exploit. If you are patching the same spots every spring, you are past repairs and likely need a rebuild.
Ashe juniper grows quickly along fence lines and actively works against your fence. The weight and pressure of brush bends wire, loosens staples, and pulls posts out of alignment over time. This is one of the most common problems on Kerrville-area properties that have not had the fence corridor cleared in several years.
If you have recently purchased property in Kerr County or are dividing a larger tract, you may have no fencing at all - or what is there may be decades old and unsuited to your needs. Starting fresh with a properly surveyed and installed fence protects your investment and prevents future boundary disputes.
We install barbed wire perimeter fencing, woven wire for goats and sheep, high-tensile wire for pasture applications, and pipe-and-cable fencing for areas around chutes, gates, and working pens. Most ranches in Kerr County need more than one type - a barbed wire perimeter with woven wire cross-fences, for example - and we can handle all of it as part of the same project. If you also need a separate containment area closer to the house for a working dog or smaller animals, we often include chain link fence installation as part of the same scope of work.
Gates are the most-used and most-likely-to-fail part of any farm fence, and we build them to match what you are actually running through them. A single walk-through gate is different from a 16-foot double drive gate that your tractor needs to clear. Every gate we hang is adjusted for level and latch alignment on installation day - not left for you to fight with later.
The most cost-effective option for large acreage, suited to cattle operations and property boundary marking across Kerr County.
Sheep-and-goat field fence with barbed wire top and bottom - the right choice for smaller livestock that push through standard barbed wire.
Strong and long-lasting for large perimeters where low maintenance and wire tension matter over decades of use.
Heavy-duty option for working pens, high-traffic chute areas, and any location where livestock pressure is concentrated.
Divides larger acreage into separate grazing sections to support rotational grazing and better pasture management.
Single walk-through and wide double drive gates hung level and latching clean on day one, sized for your largest equipment.
Kerr County has a genuine ranching heritage. Properties outside the city limits are actively used for cattle, goats, sheep, and exotic game, and the local fencing market reflects that - contractors here tend to have real working ranch experience, not just residential yard fence backgrounds. The Edwards Plateau limestone that runs under most of the county means that post-setting takes specialized equipment and costs more per hole than flat-ground fencing elsewhere in Texas. Landowners around Hunt, TX and those near Medina, TX face the same ground conditions and deer pressure that properties throughout the county do.
Ashe juniper - locally just called cedar - is one of the most aggressive plants in the Hill Country and grows back along cleared fence lines faster than most landowners expect. Brush pressing against wire bends it, loosens staples, and eventually pulls posts out of alignment. Clearing the corridor before installation and planning for ongoing management afterward is a conversation every ranch fence customer should have before work begins. The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension publishes research-based guidance on livestock fencing specifically for Hill Country conditions, and the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association sets the standards our working ranch fence installations follow.
We will respond within one business day and ask about your property size, what animals you are managing, and what the fence needs to accomplish. The more specific you can be, the more useful the initial conversation - even a rough acreage and terrain description helps.
A reputable contractor needs to walk the property before quoting - especially in Kerrville, where rocky terrain and cedar encroachment can significantly affect the scope of work. You receive a written quote that breaks down materials and labor separately so you can compare it fairly with other bids.
Before the crew arrives, move any livestock away from the fence corridor and confirm the crew has vehicle access along the planned fence line. If your property boundaries are not clearly marked, now is the time to locate survey stakes or arrange for a surveyor.
Corner and brace posts go in first because they anchor everything else. Wire is strung and tensioned after posts are set, and gates are hung last and adjusted for level and latch alignment. We walk the entire fence line with you before packing up.
We walk your property, account for the rocky terrain, and give you a written quote with no pressure. Call us or fill out the form and we will respond within one business day.
(830) 386-1933Rocky limestone just below the surface is the most common reason fences fail early in this area, and it is also the most common thing less experienced contractors skip over. We use equipment sized for the Hill Country's bedrock and set every post at the depth required to hold tension through dry summers and wet winters.
Barbed wire for cattle, woven wire for goats and sheep, pipe fencing for high-traffic gates - we recommend the right type for what you are actually running. If deer pressure is a concern on your Kerrville-area property, that conversation happens before the design is finalized.
Ashe juniper growing against wire is one of the most common causes of fence failure in the Hill Country. We clear the fence corridor before installation and can discuss ongoing maintenance so the problem does not return within the first few seasons.
Fencing even a few inches onto a neighbor's land can create legal disputes that cost far more than the fence itself. We ask about your survey before any post goes in the ground and recommend a licensed surveyor if boundary lines are not clearly marked.
Every farm and ranch fence we build in Kerrville is designed for this specific terrain - not adapted from a flat-ground formula. When the job is done, you get a fence that holds tension through the Hill Country's dry summers and flash-flood winters, keeps the right animals in and the right ones out, and does not leave you patching the same spots every spring.
Smaller-scale containment fencing suited to residential lots where dogs and pets need a secure yard without the scale of a working ranch fence.
