Your dog deserves a yard they can run freely in. We build pet fencing in Ennis sized for your dog, engineered for our clay soil, and designed to stay secure season after season.
Pet and dog fencing in Ennis means choosing the right height, material, and base treatment for your specific dog - most standard backyard enclosures are completed in one to two days.
If you already have a fence that keeps giving your dog a way out, the problem is usually the height, the gap at the bottom, or a gate that does not latch securely. We see this constantly on Ennis properties where the clay soil has shifted posts over the years and opened gaps that were not there at installation. A new fence built with footings sized for this soil stays tight.
Many homeowners pair pet fencing with an automatic gate so there is no chance of a gate being left open by a visitor or a kid coming home from school. Call us to talk through what fits your yard and your dog.
If your dog has squeezed through a gap, pushed a board loose, or dug a trench along the fence line, the current setup is not working. Ennis clay shifts enough over time that gaps not there last year can open up this year, especially after a dry summer followed by heavy rain. A new fence with proper footings and a buried base edge solves this for good.
If you walk your dog every time it needs to go outside because you do not have a fence - or do not trust the one you have - that is the clearest sign it is time to act. A secure yard gives your dog freedom to run and play without you standing outside in July heat or a January cold snap.
Coyote sightings in and around Ennis have become more common as the area grows. If you have seen one in your neighborhood or heard them at night, your dog is at real risk without a fence that is tall enough and solid enough to keep them out. A fence designed with coyote deterrence in mind is a different spec than a basic containment fence.
Walk your fence line and push on the posts. If any of them rock or lean noticeably, the footings have failed - often because Ennis clay has shifted them over multiple seasons. A leaning post means the fence panels will follow, and once the fence starts to go, it goes fast. This is the point where repair costs can exceed replacement costs.
We install wood privacy fencing, chain link, vinyl, and welded wire for dog enclosures - and we walk you through the trade-offs before we recommend anything. A chain link fence is one of the most affordable options and is easy to see through, but athletic dogs can learn to climb it. A wood privacy fence gives your dog less to react to visually, which can help with barking and fence-running, but it needs more upkeep in the Texas heat.
Whatever material you choose, we address the base of the fence - burying the bottom edge or adding a concrete footer so diggers cannot get out. We also discuss gate placement and latch hardware specific to your dog's habits before any order is placed. If you are also considering an automatic gate, we can combine both into a single project.
Best for homeowners who want a durable, budget-friendly option and whose dog is not a climber.
Good for dogs that bark or pace at passing traffic - the solid panel reduces visual stimulation.
Low-maintenance choice that holds up well in Texas weather without needing staining or sealing.
Suited for multiple dogs or larger properties where cost per foot matters and visibility is not a concern.
The Blackland Prairie clay soil that runs through Ennis and Ellis County is one of the most active soils in Texas. It swells when it rains and contracts during dry spells, and that constant movement is what pushes posts out of alignment and opens gaps at the fence base over time. Standard post depths that work fine in sandy or loamy soil are not enough here. We set posts deeper and use concrete footings sized for this soil - which is why our installations hold up after a wet spring or a dry August, and yours should too. Homeowners in Ennis and Italy both deal with these conditions.
Coyote pressure is a real and growing concern in Ellis County. Neighborhoods on the edges of Ennis where residential lots back up to open fields or farmland see regular activity. A four-foot fence that might work in a tighter suburb is not enough here - coyotes clear it with little effort. We talk through height and deterrent options like inward-angled extensions every time a dog owner asks for an estimate, because keeping your dog safe from outside threats is just as important as keeping them from getting out. The Humane Society recommends a minimum of five to six feet for medium and large breeds, and we follow that guidance.
We reply within one business day - usually faster. We ask a few questions upfront: your lot size, your dog's breed and any escape history, and whether you have an existing fence. This lets us give you an accurate estimate, not a vague ballpark.
We come to your property, walk the yard, and measure the total footage. We look at the soil, any slopes, and note where the gate needs to go. This is your chance to ask everything - post depth, base treatment, gate hardware - before you commit to anything.
We handle the City of Ennis permit application. This typically takes a few business days. We also coordinate the 811 utility-marking call before any digging starts. Both steps are included in our process - you do not need to chase them yourself.
The crew sets posts, lets the concrete cure, then attaches panels and gates. Most standard backyard jobs wrap up in one to two days. Before we leave, we walk the full perimeter with you and test every gate latch. If anything is off, we fix it before we pack up.
We reply within one business day. No pressure, no obligation - just a straight answer and a written estimate for your Ennis property.
(469) 881-8435We know this soil moves. Our post depths and concrete footings are sized for Ellis County clay conditions, not generic minimums. That means your fence stays plumb after a wet spring or a summer drought - and gaps do not open along the base where your dog can squeeze through.
Every pet fence we install includes a buried bottom edge or a concrete footer along the perimeter. Diggers are the most common escape problem we see in Ennis, and we address it before we leave the job site - not as an afterthought.
Coyotes are active in Ellis County. Before we recommend any height, we ask about your dog and your property location. If you are on the edge of town near open land, that conversation matters. We want your dog safe from outside threats, not just contained.
We pull the required City of Ennis permit on your behalf. You get a written estimate that spells out materials, post depth, gate hardware, and cleanup before a shovel hits the ground. The number you agree to is the number on the invoice.
Serving Ennis since 2020, we have built pet fencing on properties across Ellis County - from in-town backyards to larger rural lots where coyote deterrence and soil conditions both factor into the design. When you call us, you are talking to people who know this area.
