Custom Ennis Fence installs commercial fences, privacy fences, and automatic gates for homeowners and businesses throughout Mansfield, TX. We understand the HOA requirements in Mansfield's master-planned subdivisions, the commercial fencing needs along the US-287 corridor, and how Tarrant County clay soil affects fence posts in both newer and older neighborhoods - and we respond within one business day.
Mansfield's commercial corridors along US-287 and Matlock Road have grown steadily alongside the city's residential expansion, and many businesses here need perimeter fencing, loading area enclosures, or security barriers that hold up to commercial traffic and North Texas weather. We design commercial fence systems scaled to the specific site - whether that is a small retail property or a larger industrial perimeter. See our commercial fence installation service for material options, height capabilities, and gate integration details.
Mansfield's newer master-planned communities tend to have homes built on mid-size lots where backyards are close to the neighbor's property. A six-foot privacy fence creates usable outdoor space that feels separate from adjacent lots. On Tarrant County clay soil, the posts need to be set at the right depth from the start - because a fence that starts leaning after a wet spring is not a board problem, it is a post problem.
Cedar wood fences are common throughout Mansfield's established neighborhoods, and many homes built between 1990 and 2010 are now at the age where the original fencing needs full replacement rather than piecemeal repairs. We build new cedar fences using post depths and concrete volumes appropriate for clay soil, so the replacement holds up longer than the original did.
Several of Mansfield's HOA-governed communities specify white vinyl along rear property lines for a clean, uniform look from the street. In North Texas heat, vinyl does not warp, crack, or need repainting, which makes it a genuinely low-maintenance choice for homeowners who want the fence to look good without seasonal upkeep. We install vinyl on properly set posts so the higher upfront investment lasts.
Mansfield properties - both residential and commercial - use powered gates for access control and daily convenience. Residential driveway gates are popular in larger-lot neighborhoods near the older parts of the city, while commercial sites along the major corridors often need slide gates sized for delivery vehicles. We size gate operators for the gate weight and the motor load that comes with Tarrant County summer heat.
Spring storms in this part of North Texas bring high winds and hail that can knock fence sections loose across Mansfield's neighborhoods in a single afternoon. Before recommending a repair approach, we assess the post condition at grade - because replacing boards or rails on a post that has already been compromised by clay soil movement will not hold through the next wet season.
Mansfield has grown from around 28,000 residents in 2000 to more than 75,000 today, and most of that growth took the form of large master-planned subdivisions developed on Tarrant County clay soil. Homes in these communities range from brand-new construction to houses built in the 1990s that are now 25 to 35 years old - old enough that original fencing, driveways, and concrete flatwork are showing the effects of the clay soil's expansion-contraction cycle. That Blackland Prairie clay swells after every heavy rain and then shrinks significantly during dry summers, putting constant upward and lateral pressure on fence posts. A fence contractor who does not account for that soil behavior when setting posts is building a fence that will need repair within a decade.
Mansfield's mix of residential and commercial property types also requires a contractor who can handle both. The commercial corridors along US-287, Matlock Road, and Broad Street have fencing needs that are different in scale and material from the HOA neighborhoods - industrial perimeters, loading dock enclosures, and security barriers need different products and installation methods than a backyard privacy fence. On the residential side, Mansfield's active HOA communities add a layer of compliance work: fence materials, colors, and heights are regulated in many neighborhoods, and a fence that does not meet the covenant is one the homeowner will have to modify. Spring storms bring severe weather regularly, and Mansfield sits in one of the most active hail corridors in Texas - another reason local experience matters when inspecting fence damage after a storm.
Our crew works throughout Mansfield regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect fence installation and repair work here. We pull permits through the City of Mansfield building department for jobs within city limits and are familiar with the setback requirements, HOA coordination, and commercial site access considerations that come with the range of property types across the city. We know the difference between what the newer communities off Matlock Road require and what the older neighborhoods closer to historic downtown Mansfield typically involve.
Mansfield sits in Tarrant County roughly 20 miles southeast of Fort Worth and about 15 miles south of Arlington, giving it access to a large labor and customer base while maintaining its own distinct character. The city has a recognizable range of neighborhoods - from the historic downtown area along Broad Street to the large master-planned communities that expanded outward from the 1990s onward. Mansfield ISD draws families who plan to stay long term, and that commitment shows in the quality of home investment the city's homeowners typically make. Hawaiian Falls water park near the city center is a community landmark most residents recognize, as is Mansfield National Golf Club, which anchors one of the city's established residential areas.
We serve the southwestern Tarrant County and northeastern Ellis County area, including Midlothian, TX to the south. If you need fence work in Mansfield and a neighboring community, we can typically schedule both on the same route.
Tell us your address and a brief description of the job - new install, repair, commercial site, or replacement. We respond within one business day and can typically schedule a site visit within a few days of your request.
We walk the property, measure the layout, check soil and grade conditions, and confirm any HOA or city requirements that apply to your lot. You receive a written, itemized estimate with firm pricing - no ranges, no surprise add-ons - before you commit to anything.

(469) 881-8435Mansfield is a city in Tarrant County with a population that has grown to more than 75,000 residents, making it one of the faster-growing cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Most of that growth happened between 1990 and 2015 in the form of large master-planned subdivisions that spread outward from the original town center along US-287 and Matlock Road. According to Mansfield's Wikipedia entry, the city balances a historic downtown core along Broad Street with the newer residential and commercial development that has defined its modern character. Homes here are predominantly single-family, owner-occupied, and built on concrete slab foundations - typical of DFW suburban construction on Blackland Prairie clay. Median household incomes above the Texas state average and high homeownership rates reflect a community where residents invest in their properties for the long term.
Mansfield ISD, with more than 35,000 students, is the primary reason many families choose to settle here rather than in nearby alternatives. The district's size and reputation draw families who plan to stay, which is reflected in the quality of home maintenance and improvement work done throughout the city. Communities like Walnut Creek and South Pointe represent the large-scale subdivision development that shaped the city's newer areas, while neighborhoods closer to downtown have older homes on larger, more irregular lots. Nearby communities Midlothian, TX to the south share the same Blackland Prairie clay soil conditions, and Cedar Hill, TX to the east has a similar mix of newer subdivisions and older neighborhoods where fence installation and repair demand is consistent.
