About Fencing in Georgetown
Georgetown, which sits about 30 miles north of downtown Austin along I-35, is the Williamson County seat with a population of nearly 90,000, and has one of the state’s oldest downtown Courthouse Squares. Fence work here spans three distinct market segments: Sun City (Del Webb 55+ active adult community on 5,300 acres, 7,500+ homes across 60 neighborhoods, with three golf courses); newer master-planned communities like Wolf Ranch, Water Oak, Cimarron Hills, and Berry Creek country club; and the historic downtown district around the Courthouse Square, where older established homes need fence replacements matched to period character.
Georgetown sits on Blackland Prairie clay soil, similar to Round Rock further south. Clay loam holds fence posts well at a minimum depth of 3 feet with concrete collars. Western Georgetown properties near the Liberty Hill/Hill Country transition sometimes require rock drilling through the limestone shelf. The City of Georgetown code specifies a 6-foot standard fence height, and most HOAs match that. Sun City’s CC&Rs get more specific: side and rear fences max 6 feet, but on lots bordering the three golf courses (Legacy Hills, White Wing, Cowan Creek), any portion of fence above 3 feet within 25 feet of the rear property line must be wrought iron with concrete or similar posts. Sun City’s front-yard rules are stricter: no solid fence or wall in front of the dwelling’s front line, except decorative ones under 24 inches.
Fence Services in Georgetown
Cedar Privacy Fence Installation
Cedar privacy dominates fence work at Wolf Ranch, Water Oak, and Berry Creek. These master-planned HOAs typically approve Western Red Cedar with specific stain palettes and post-cap requirements. Our Wolf Ranch cedar specifications run a 3-foot post depth standard, and we’ll source Western Red Cedar for HOA-required projects because it holds stain longer and clears ARC review consistently. Historic Courthouse Square district cedar installs match older residential character.
Sun City Wrought Iron for Golf Course Lots
Sun City lots bordering Legacy Hills, White Wing, or Cowan Creek golf courses require wrought iron for any portion of fence above 3 feet within 25 feet of the rear property line, per SCHOA CC&Rs. Concrete or masonry posts at spec. Our Sun City wrought iron specifications accommodate this exact configuration: a 3-foot solid base with wrought iron above, or full-height iron along the golf-facing perimeter. We’ll coordinate ARC submissions through the Sun City Home Owners Association office.
Chain Link Fence Installation
Chain link’s the standard for Georgetown’s larger rural lots outside city limits, Cimarron Hills perimeter runs, and commercial corridors along I-35 and TX-130. Georgetown perimeter chain link options range from 4-foot pet containment to 8-foot commercial security-grade, with galvanized or vinyl-coated finishes and a top rail included on all runs.
Historic Downtown Wood Privacy
Historic Courthouse Square district homes and older residential streets like University Avenue often use standard cedar or higher-grade wood privacy fencing that matches the neighborhood’s period character. Our Georgetown historic district wood specifications include board-on-board, cap-rail, and dog-eared styles that read appropriately for pre-1960s home architecture. Standard cedar’s a good fit for Blackland Prairie moisture cycles.
Custom Gates and Automated Entry
Standard walk gates come with every Georgetown privacy install. Larger Cimarron Hills, Berry Creek, and rural Georgetown properties often require double drive-through gates for access to RVs, trailers, or landscape equipment. Georgetown residential gate services include walk gates, drive-through gates, and automated gate operators (keypad, remote, or solar) for the longer driveways common on Berry Creek and rural Georgetown estate lots.
Our Georgetown Installation Process
Our Georgetown process is built around three factors specific to this market: multiple HOA architectural review workflows (Sun City SCHOA plus Wolf Ranch, Water Oak, Berry Creek), Blackland Prairie clay post depth, and City of Georgetown permit compliance.
Step 1: On-site estimate. We’ll measure your property, discuss material options, identify your specific HOA (Sun City, Wolf Ranch, Water Oak, Cimarron Hills, Berry Creek, or non-HOA downtown), and check whether Sun City golf-course CC&Rs apply if your lot borders Legacy Hills, White Wing, or Cowan Creek. Written itemized estimate within 48 hours.
Step 2: HOA ARC submission and coordination with the City of Georgetown for permits. For Sun City residents, we’ll prepare and submit the SCHOA ARC package, including compliance with golf-course wrought-iron rules where applicable. Wolf Ranch, Water Oak, Cimarron Hills, and Berry Creek each run their own review process; we’ll handle those, too. When your project requires a City of Georgetown permit, our permit partners handle the paperwork so you don’t have to chase down forms.
Step 3: Material sourcing and delivery. We’ll source Western Red Cedar, standard cedar, ornamental iron, or specialty materials to your approved spec. Delivery coordinated with confirmed install date.
Step 4: Installation. Our crews set posts to a minimum depth of 3 feet with concrete collars on eastern clay-loam lots, and rock-drill through the limestone shelf on western lots as needed. A standard 180-foot residential installation takes 1 to 2 days.
Step 5: Final walkthrough and warranty handoff. We’ll test gate operation, verify plumb, complete site cleanup, and hand off your workmanship warranty in writing. If anything’s out of spec in the first year, we’ll come back and fix it. Standard Georgetown HOA projects run 3 to 5 weeks total (including SCHOA or ARC review and installation), and non-HOA downtown projects run 1 to 2 weeks.
Why Georgetown Homeowners Choose Austin Fence Company

Fence Cost in Georgetown
Georgetown pricing depends on material selection, HOA-mandated specs (Sun City wrought-iron requirement on golf-course lots adds cost vs standard cedar; Wolf Ranch stain palette adds cost vs standard cedar), and whether your lot needs rock drilling. There’s sometimes group pricing when a whole Sun City neighborhood block does batch replacement together. For per-foot pricing by material and typical Georgetown project totals in Sun City, Wolf Ranch, Water Oak, and Berry Creek, see our full Georgetown fence cost guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Georgetown neighborhoods do you serve?
We install fences across all Georgetown neighborhoods, including Sun City (all 60 neighborhood sections, including Legacy Hills, White Wing, and Cowan Creek golf course lots), Wolf Ranch, Water Oak, Cimarron Hills, Berry Creek, and the historic Courthouse Square district. We also handle overflow work in Jarrell to the north and Liberty Hill further west, plus commercial fence work along the I-35 and TX-130 corridors.
What are Sun City fence rules?
Sun City SCHOA CC&Rs cap side and rear fences at 6 feet. On lots bordering the Legacy Hills, White Wing, or Cowan Creek golf courses, any fence more than 3 feet above the rear property line must be wrought iron and use concrete or masonry posts. Front-yard rules are stricter: no solid fence or wall in front of the dwelling’s front line, except decorative ones under 24 inches. All fence work requires ARC approval from the Sun City HOA office. We’ll handle SCHOA submissions on your behalf.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Georgetown?
Most standard residential fences in Georgetown (6 feet or under, not corner lot) require a City of Georgetown permit. Fences over 6 feet always require a permit, and corner lots are subject to sight-triangle rules that limit height near intersections. We’ll have our permit partners handle paperwork for all Georgetown city-permit-required projects. HOA architectural review (SCHOA for Sun City, or the ARC for Wolf Ranch, Water Oak, Cimarron Hills, or Berry Creek) is a separate approval step that happens in parallel.
How long does fence installation take in Georgetown?
For Sun City and other Georgetown HOA communities (Wolf Ranch, Water Oak, Cimarron Hills, Berry Creek), allow 2 to 4 weeks for architectural review plus 1 to 2 days for a standard install. City of Georgetown permit adds 1-2 additional weeks. Larger Berry Creek estate perimeter runs or Sun City golf-course wrought-iron installations (300+ feet with mixed materials) take 3 to 5 days. For non-HOA Courthouse Square district projects, we’ll usually install within 1-2 weeks.
Do you offer a warranty on Georgetown fence installations?
Yes, in writing. You’ll get a 1-year workmanship warranty at no extra charge on every Georgetown fence, covering post plumb, gate function, picket alignment, and any structural issue traceable to the install. Materials carry separate manufacturer warranties. If our work slips out of spec in the first year, we’ll come back and fix it.
