About Fencing in Manor
Manor sits along US-290 about 15 miles east of downtown Austin in Travis County. It’s grown 185% over the past decade to roughly 20,000 residents, and city leaders are planning for 100,000. That growth’s driven by affordability plus proximity to Tesla Gigafactory Texas (15 to 20 minutes via FM 973 and TX-130), Samsung Taylor, and the airport. Master-planned communities lead the residential build-out: ShadowGlen (Manor’s flagship with its 18-hole public golf club and 4-acre water park), Bell Farms (newer construction), Carillon (currently the largest source of active new builds with Chesmar, Richmond American, and DRB), Lagos (larger single-family), Presidential Meadows (affordable), and Whisper Valley (eco-friendly with geothermal and solar). Mustang Valley and Wildhorse Creek round out the newer landscape.
Manor sits on Blackland Prairie clay across the whole city, similar to Pflugerville and Round Rock further west and north. Clay loam holds fence posts well at a minimum depth of 3 feet with concrete collars, and installation runs faster and more predictably here than in the Hill Country limestone belt west of Austin. The City of Manor code specifies a 6-foot standard fence height, and most HOAs match it. ShadowGlen and each of the newer master-planned communities have their own architectural review committee with slightly different material and stain requirements.
Fence Services in Manor
Cedar Privacy Fence Installation
Cedar privacy dominates fence work at ShadowGlen, Bell Farms, Carillon, and Lagos. Each community’s ARC typically approves Western Red Cedar with specific stain palettes and post-cap requirements. Our ShadowGlen cedar specifications are standard at 3-foot post depth, and we’ll source Western Red Cedar for HOA-required projects because it holds stain longer than pressure-treated pine and consistently clears ARC review across Manor’s master-planned communities.
Tract-Builder Fence Replacement
Original tract-builder fences from Chesmar, Richmond American, DRB, and other Manor builders across Carillon, Bell Farms, Presidential Meadows, and older ShadowGlen sections eventually age out and need replacement. Our Manor tract wood specifications replace those with upgraded cedar or standard wood privacy that lasts longer than the original spec. Batch replacement across an entire Carillon or Bell Farms block sometimes receives group pricing.
Chain Link Fence Installation
Chain link comes up on Manor’s larger rural lots outside master-planned communities, commercial corridors along US-290 and SH-130, and the Shops at ShadowGlen retail perimeter. Manor 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.
Ornamental Iron Front Fencing
Lagos’s larger single-family lots, Whisper Valley eco-community, and select ShadowGlen estate sections near the golf course specify Manor estate iron specifications for front-yard accent runs, pool safety enclosures, and driveway entry gates. HOA design standards dictate iron dimensions, post spacing, and cap style, which we’ll match to spec before installation.
Custom Gates and Automated Entry
Standard walk gates come with every Manor privacy install. Larger Lagos, Whisper Valley, and ShadowGlen estate lots often require double drive-through gates for access by RVs, trailers, or landscape equipment. Manor residential gate services include walk gates, drive-through gates, and automated gate operators (keypad, remote, or solar) for longer driveways common on Lagos and Whisper Valley properties.
Our Manor Installation Process
Our Manor process is built around three factors specific to this market: multiple master-planned community ARC workflows (ShadowGlen, Bell Farms, Carillon, Lagos, Whisper Valley), Blackland Prairie clay post depth, and City of Manor permit compliance.
Step 1: On-site estimate. We’ll measure your property, discuss material options, identify your specific HOA (ShadowGlen, Bell Farms, Carillon, Lagos, Presidential Meadows, Whisper Valley, or non-HOA Old Town Manor), and confirm Blackland Prairie clay post-setting standards. Written itemized estimate within 48 hours.
Step 2: HOA ARC submission and coordination with the City of Manor for permits. Each Manor master-planned community runs its own architectural review process. We’ll prepare the ARC submission package (material specs, stain colors, layout drawings) and submit on your behalf. ARC approval typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. When your project requires a City of Manor permit, we’ll have 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 3-foot minimum depth with concrete collars on eastern clay-loam lots, and rock-drill through 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 Manor HOA projects run 3 to 5 weeks in total (including ARC review and installation), and non-HOA Old Town projects run 1 to 2 weeks.

Fence Cost in Manor
Manor pricing depends on material selection and HOA-mandated specs (ShadowGlen stain palettes and higher-grade cedar add per-foot cost vs standard cedar). Blackland Prairie clay soil means no rock-drilling surcharge, which keeps Manor pricing lower than western Hill Country work. There’s sometimes group pricing when a whole Carillon or Bell Farms block does batch replacement together. For per-foot pricing by material and typical Manor project totals in ShadowGlen, Bell Farms, Carillon, and Lagos, see our full Manor fence cost guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Manor neighborhoods do you serve?
We install fences across all Manor neighborhoods, including the master-planned communities (ShadowGlen, Bell Farms, Carillon, Lagos, Presidential Meadows, Whisper Valley, Mustang Valley), newer additions (Wildhorse Creek, Stonewater), and the Old Town Manor historic core. We also handle overflow work in Elgin to the east and East Austin extraterritorial jurisdiction areas, plus commercial fence work along the US-290 and SH-130 corridors, including the Shops at ShadowGlen area.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Manor?
Most standard residential fences in Manor (6 feet or less, not on a corner lot) require a City of Manor 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 Manor city-permit-required projects. HOA architectural review from your specific ShadowGlen, Bell Farms, Carillon, Lagos, Presidential Meadows, or Whisper Valley community is a separate approval step that happens in parallel.
What fence material works best for Manor HOAs?
Western Red Cedar privacy is the most-installed material across Manor’s master-planned HOAs. ShadowGlen, Bell Farms, Carillon, Lagos, and Whisper Valley ARCs typically specify Western Red Cedar with specific stain palettes. Standard cedar is more common on tract-builder replacement work across older Carillon and Presidential Meadows blocks. Ornamental iron shows up on Lagos larger lots and select ShadowGlen estate sections. Chain link handles commercial corridors along US-290 and rural lot perimeters outside city limits.
How long does fence installation take in Manor?
For master-planned Manor HOAs (ShadowGlen, Bell Farms, Carillon, Lagos, Whisper Valley), allow 2 to 4 weeks for architectural review plus 1 to 2 days for a standard install. City of Manor permit adds 1-2 additional weeks. Larger Lagos or Whisper Valley estate lots or longer ShadowGlen golf-adjacent perimeter runs (400+ feet) take 3 to 5 days. Non-HOA Old Town Manor projects usually take 1 to 2 weeks to install.
Do you offer a warranty on Manor fence installations?
Yes, in writing. You’ll get a 1-year workmanship warranty at no extra charge on every Manor 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.
