Custom Ennis Fence installs farm and ranch fencing, wood privacy fences, and custom gates throughout Corsicana, TX. We serve Navarro County properties of all types - from homes near downtown that were built in the early 1900s to larger rural tracts that need perimeter fencing across multiple acres. We respond to every inquiry within one business day.
Navarro County has a long agricultural history, and many properties outside Corsicana city limits still include livestock, horses, or large pastures that need perimeter fencing that can hold up through years of clay soil movement and hot summers. Barbed wire, high-tensile wire, welded pipe, and combination fencing are all options we work with depending on the animals and acreage involved. See our farm and ranch fencing service for a full breakdown of materials and typical project scope.
A large share of Corsicana's homes near downtown were built before 1950, and wood is the natural match for that era of construction - it can be cut to custom heights, painted to match exterior colors, and designed to complement the character of brick bungalows and craftsman-style homes. We use cedar boards and galvanized hardware so the fence holds up through Navarro County summers and spring storm seasons.
Corsicana's clay soil moves with every wet-dry cycle, and older fences - especially those that were not set deep enough originally - tend to show lean and heave after several seasons. Repairing a fence here often means addressing the root cause at the post level, not just replacing the boards, so the repair actually holds rather than becoming a recurring problem.
Corsicana's residential neighborhoods have a mix of lot sizes, and many homeowners have dogs that need a secure yard. Chain link and wood privacy fencing both work well here, but the right choice depends on your dog's size, the lot's terrain, and whether you have an older pier-and-beam foundation that limits how close posts can be set to the house. We assess the yard conditions before making a material recommendation.
In Corsicana's established residential neighborhoods, lots sit close together and backyard privacy is a real consideration. A six-foot wood privacy fence does the job while matching the neighborhood character - we set posts at the depth that Navarro County clay requires so the fence stays plumb for years rather than gradually leaning toward the neighbor's yard.
For utility enclosures, side-yard dog runs, and commercial properties in Corsicana, chain link is a practical choice - it is durable, low maintenance, and holds up in the clay soil conditions without the wood rot risk that comes with the area's humid summers. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated options depending on the application.
Corsicana sits on heavy expansive clay soil - the same type found across much of East and Central Texas - that swells significantly when it absorbs water and then contracts hard during dry summers. That constant ground movement is the primary reason fences in this area fail faster than they should. Posts that are not set at adequate depth with the right concrete volume gradually work their way loose, sections start to lean, and what started as a cosmetic problem becomes a structural one within a few seasons. This is not a reason to avoid building a fence - it is a reason to make sure the post installation is done correctly the first time, because fixing a leaning fence on clay soil is more involved than it looks.
Corsicana also has one of the older housing stocks in the region. Many homes near downtown were built between the 1910s and 1950s, which means older foundations, established trees near property lines, and irregular lot shapes that require a contractor to adapt rather than simply follow a standard layout. Spring thunderstorms in Navarro County can also drop significant hail and high winds that damage fences - and older fences that have been through multiple storm seasons are often closer to the end of their life than they appear from the street. A proper assessment before repair work saves homeowners from spending money on boards when the real issue is the posts below grade.
Our crew works throughout Corsicana regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect fence installation work here. Corsicana is the county seat of Navarro County and sits about 55 miles southeast of Dallas along US Highway 75. We pull permits through the City of Corsicana for jobs within city limits and handle rural Navarro County projects where no permit is required but property line accuracy still matters.
The city has a mix of property types that we deal with regularly - older pier-and-beam homes on established residential streets near Navarro College and downtown, newer slab-foundation homes on the city's edges, and rural agricultural properties outside city limits that need perimeter fencing for livestock or large lots. Landmarks like Collin Street Bakery and Pioneer Village put our crew in the older core of the city regularly, and we know the lot patterns and soil characteristics in that part of town well.
We also serve communities nearby, including Ennis, TX to the northwest - and if you have fence work in Corsicana and a neighboring area, we can often schedule both on the same route.
Call or fill out the online form with a brief description of what you need. We respond within one business day and can usually schedule a site visit within a few days of your first contact.
We come to the property, assess the ground conditions, check for any obstacles or setback issues, and give you a written itemized estimate with a firm price. There is no obligation to move forward after the estimate.
For jobs within Corsicana city limits, we handle the permit application before any digging starts. Once the permit is in hand and materials are staged, we schedule the installation and keep you informed of the start date.
Most residential jobs in Corsicana take one to three days. At the end of the project, we walk the fence with you, adjust any gate hardware, and make sure you are satisfied before we leave the site.

(469) 881-8435Corsicana is the county seat of Navarro County and home to about 23,000 residents. It sits roughly 55 miles southeast of Dallas along US Highway 75, which puts it outside the immediate DFW suburban ring and gives it more of a standalone small-city character. The city has been around since the 1840s, and that history shows in the residential neighborhoods near downtown - brick bungalows, craftsman homes, and early 20th-century houses that line established streets close to the courthouse square. Many of these homes were built between the 1910s and 1950s and sit on pier-and-beam foundations, which is a common construction style for that era in this part of Texas. The city of Corsicana also has newer subdivisions on its outskirts that were built from the 1990s through the 2000s on concrete slab foundations - a different set of maintenance needs than the older core.
Corsicana is probably best known outside the region for Collin Street Bakery, a local institution founded in 1896 that ships its DeLuxe Fruitcake to customers around the world from its home base here. Navarro College has been an educational anchor since 1946, and Pioneer Village preserves original 19th-century buildings from the area's earliest settlement period. The economy includes manufacturing, healthcare, and education as key sectors, and most residents live and work in the same community - which means local contractors serve neighbors rather than passing commuters. We also work in communities nearby, including Italy, TX, for homeowners who need fence work on both sides of the county line.
