Twelve towns across McLennan, Bosque, and Falls counties, plus Waco itself. The ground changes on the way out of town, and so does the bid.
Brazos Ridge Fence Co. works out of Waco and builds within about an hour of it. That range covers three counties that do not look much alike once you are out of the city: the blackland prairie of McLennan and Falls, and the limestone hills of Bosque west of the river.
That difference is not scenery, it is the bid. Setting a corner post in Houston Black clay near Marlin and drilling one into a rock ledge outside Meridian are two different jobs, and a crew that quotes them at the same number is guessing on one of them. Every town page below covers the local dirt, the local terrain, and what fence actually costs there. All ten of our fencing services are available in every one of them.
Houston Black clay for the most part, which is good dirt for grass and hard dirt for posts. It swells wet and cracks open dry, and every one of those cracks works a shallow-set post a little looser. We set corners deep and tamp in lifts here rather than trusting a shovel of concrete at the top.
River-bottom acreage and small horse places along the Bosque, plus pipe frontage fence on the paved roads out of Waco.
Fencing in China Spring →Working cattle country west of Waco. Barbed wire perimeters, cross fence, and corrals on places running 40 acres and up.
Fencing in Crawford →Blackland pasture and hay ground southwest of Waco, where posts have to be set for clay that swells and cracks.
Fencing in McGregor →Small acreage and horse property south of Waco along the I-35 corridor. No-climb mesh and pipe are the usual answer here.
Fencing in Lorena →Farm country north of Waco. Field fence, cattle-tight perimeters, and repairs on aging wire along the county roads.
Fencing in West →The in-between places south of Waco, two to two hundred acres, where subdivisions run out and pasture starts.
Fencing in Hewitt →Acreage homes and horse traps on the west side, where the fence has to hold stock and still look right from the road.
Fencing in Woodway →Brazos-bottom ground south of Waco. Water gaps, flood-prone lines, and cross fencing for small cattle operations.
Fencing in Robinson →West of the Bosque River the blackland gives way to limestone, cedar, and hill ground. Post holes get drilled instead of augered, clearing is often half the job, and the deer leases up this way are where most of our game fence goes.
Where the blackland gives way to Bosque County limestone. Rock drilling, hill ground, and high fence for deer leases.
Fencing in Valley Mills →Limestone hills, cedar, and goat and sheep country. Clearing is usually half the job before a post ever goes in.
Fencing in Clifton →Bosque County seat and hill country beyond it. High fence for deer management, rock drilling, and hard-to-reach lines.
Fencing in Meridian →Blackland and Brazos bottom. Deep clay, long straight perimeters on row-crop and cattle ground, and water gaps that have to be built to be rehung rather than built to hold, because the bottoms will take them out sooner or later.
Waco itself is the middle of the circle. Most of our work inside the city limits is acreage on the edges rather than town lots, plus the pipe frontage fence and entrances people put on places along the paved roads out toward China Spring, Crawford, and Lorena.
Beyond the twelve towns listed above, we regularly build in Moody, Mart, Riesel, Axtell, Elm Mott, Ross, Bruceville-Eddy, Lott, Rosebud, Chilton, Morgan, Iredell, Walnut Springs, Cranfills Gap, and the country in between. Those places do not have their own pages yet, which does not mean we will not drive there. If you are inside McLennan, Bosque, or Falls county, call and we will come walk it.
For an emergency, distance matters less than you would think. We run a 24/7 line for fence repair, and a cattle-out call at the far edge of the county still gets answered by a person, not a machine.
About an hour in any direction, which covers McLennan, Bosque, and Falls counties. That is not a hard boundary so much as the distance a crew and a trailer of pipe can cover without the drive eating the day. If you are just outside it, call anyway and we will tell you straight whether the job pencils.
Not as a separate line item. Drive time is baked into the per-foot price, and on a long job it barely moves the number. On a very small repair a long way out, we may bundle it with other work in that direction rather than make a special trip, and we will tell you that when you call.
Often, yes. The towns listed have their own pages because they are where we work most, not because they are the only places we go. Moody, Mart, Riesel, Lott, Rosebud, Morgan, and Walnut Springs are all inside the same three counties and all inside our range. Call and ask.
It changes enough to change the bid. A post hole in Marlin blackland and a post hole in a Meridian limestone hillside are different jobs with different equipment, and a crew that prices them the same is guessing on one of them. That is why each town page talks about the dirt.
