AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Bedford
A new fence in Bedford, TX typically runs $3,500-$9,000 for a standard residential yard, and the job is usually measured, permitted where required, and installed within a two-week window once materials are confirmed. That number reflects what we see on the ground in Bedford’s 76021, 76022, and 76095 zip codes, where most yards are modest, mid-century residential lots. If you’re calling around Bedford right now and getting vague answers, that’s a red flag worth paying attention to.
We know Bedford’s streets because we work them. The ranch homes off Harwood Road, the cul-de-sacs near Central Drive, the older brick-veneer neighborhoods around Meadow Park, the newer pockets off Cheek-Sparger. When a Bedford homeowner calls us at (877) 610-1318, they’re not explaining their neighborhood to a stranger. They’re talking to someone who’s already replaced a fence line two streets over.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Bedford’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett started this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not a talking point; it’s the operating model. When a fence goes up in Bedford, a Barrett is on-site most days, checking post depth and gate swing before the crew packs up. The name on the truck is the name that answers when something needs attention later.
Every eligible job in Bedford gets permits pulled and inspections signed. The permit inspector works for you, not for us, and we like that arrangement. It means nobody cuts a corner and hopes you won’t notice. Every change to the scope arrives as a written change order before a single post hole is dug. If the price moves, you see it on paper first. That’s the rule, and it’s been the rule since day one.
Bedford customers also get the 90-Day Done Right Promise on every contract. If something isn’t done right, one call brings Tom back. No chasing, no “that’s covered under a different warranty” runaround. It’s written on the paperwork, not hidden in fine print.
Our Fence Installation Services in Bedford
Wood Fence
Wood remains the most common request in Bedford, and for good reason. Cedar and pressure-treated pine hold up well against North Texas sun, and a properly set wood privacy fence gives a Bedford ranch home the backyard enclosure those original owners never got around to building. We see a lot of sixty-year-old homes in Bedford that never had a real fence, just a chain-link strip the builder threw up in 1972. A new cedar privacy fence changes how the whole yard lives.
In Bedford’s established neighborhoods, a typical wood fence runs $3,500-$7,000 depending on linear footage, gate count, and whether we’re hauling out an old fence first. Post depth matters here because of the clay soil movement we’ll get into below.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link is still the practical choice for Bedford homeowners who need an enclosure for dogs, a pool safety barrier, or a boundary that doesn’t block the view. It’s also the most budget-friendly option, and we install galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link across Bedford regularly.
For Bedford yards on the larger side, especially the slightly bigger lots around Shady Brook and the streets feeding into Bedford Boys Ranch, chain link makes financial sense. A typical chain link installation in Bedford lands between $2,800 and $5,500.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fence is gaining ground in Bedford, particularly with homeowners who want the look of a painted wood fence without the repainting cycle every few years. Vinyl stays clean through Bedford’s hot summers and doesn’t warp the way some low-grade wood can when the humidity drops and the ground dries out.
Expect a vinyl fence in Bedford to run $4,500-$8,500 for a standard yard. The material costs more up front, but for a Bedford homeowner planning to stay put, it’s often the last fence they’ll buy. We stock common vinyl fence sections locally, so turnaround is quick.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum is what we recommend for Bedford homes where curb appeal is the priority, especially on corner lots and properties with a front-facing fence line. It holds its finish through hail, wind, and whatever else a Tarrant County storm season throws at it, and it doesn’t rust the way steel does.
An aluminum fence in Bedford usually runs $4,000-$9,000, with gates adding to the total. The look is cleaner than chain link, and for homeowners on the slightly elevated lots near L. Don Dodson Drive, it reads better from the street than a wood wall.

Trusted Brands We Service in Bedford
We don’t install mystery material off the back of a van. The fence materials we use in Bedford are brands you can look up, like Techo-Bloc for hardscape-adjacent projects and Oldcastle for concrete and footing products. That matters when you’re comparing quotes. If a Bedford contractor won’t tell you what brand of post or panel they’re using, ask yourself what else they won’t tell you. We also work alongside our Driveway & Pavers in Bedford team when a fence job turns into a matching hardscape request, which happens more than you’d think on Bedford’s corner lots.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Bedford Homes
- Clay soil heave on fence posts. Bedford sits on Tarrant County’s expansive clay. During wet winters and baking summers, the soil swells and contracts enough to push shallow posts out of plumb. That’s why we set posts below the local frost line and account for soil movement the way a national call center crew never will.
- Rotted posts from poor drainage. Bedford’s older neighborhoods, especially the streets developed in the 1960s and 1970s, often have flat or negative yard grading. Water pools at the fence line, and the post bottoms rot out years before the pickets show wear. We fix the drainage conversation before we ever dig.
- Unpermitted additions built into old fence lines. Central Bedford has its share of older homes where previous owners enclosed patios or carports without permits. When a new fence overlaps that work, the old unpermitted structure can surface during inspection. We’ve walked Bedford properties where the fence line itself was the boundary of an illegal addition. That’s a re-inspection and remediation conversation before any new footer goes in.
- Gate sag on heavy wood gates. A wide driveway gate built with the wrong hinges will sag within two Bedford summers. The heat and the soil shift work against you. We use heavier-gauge hardware and proper bracing on every gate we hang in Bedford, because a gate that drags is a gate that fails.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Bedford, TX
Let’s talk real numbers. A full residential fence in Bedford runs $3,500-$9,000 for most properties, with wood on the lower-middle end, aluminum on the higher end, and vinyl in between. Linear footage is the biggest driver. A standard Bedford backyard of 180-220 linear feet is not the same job as a 350-foot corner lot.
Removal and haul-away of an old fence adds $400-$1,200 depending on how much is coming out. Gate count moves the number too. A single walk gate is a few hundred dollars; a double driveway gate with steel posts and heavy hardware can add $1,500 or more. Every quote we give in Bedford is a written, line-item estimate. No allowances that aren’t on paper, no surprise invoices at the end. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the yard with you and price it exactly.
