AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Lantana
Fence installation in Lantana typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard vinyl privacy fence, with wood fences landing in a similar range and aluminum running slightly higher at $4,000 to $10,000. That’s the honest number before you factor in Lantana’s dual approval process, which catches a lot of homeowners off guard the first time. We know this market because we work it every week, and we’ll walk you through the Architectural Review Committee submittal, the Denton County permit, and the post-tension cable scan before we ever put a shovel in the ground. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll come out, measure the line, and give you a written line-item price.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lantana’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Tom Barrett started Barrett & Sons Construction in 1998, and his sons still run crews on-site most days. That matters in Lantana because this community has rules layered on top of rules, and the last thing you need is a contractor who shows up, starts digging, and gets a stop-work order from Denton County because nobody filed the Architectural Review Committee paperwork. We pull permits on every eligible fence job and we don’t guess at the ARC specs. We get them in writing first.
Our Fence Installation team has replaced fences throughout the 76226 zip code, from the streets around Lantana Golf Club down to the neighborhoods near Rayzor Ranch. Calls to (877) 610-1318 get a live person, any hour of any day. You won’t get routed to an out-of-state call center. You’ll talk to someone who knows what a zero-lot-line fence replacement in Lantana actually involves, because the sons answering the phone are the same ones who’ll show up with the post-hole digger.
Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look it up before you sign anything. Then ask your neighbor on Chinn Hill Road or Sundown Trail who they used. We’ve been at this 29 years, and in a master-planned community like Lantana, word travels faster than a stop-work order.
Our Fence Installation Services in Lantana
Wood Fence
Wood fencing in Lantana gets hit hard by North Texas Blackland Prairie clay. The soil swells after spring rains and contracts in July and August drought, and that repeat cycle works wooden posts loose from their concrete collars within two or three seasons if the footing wasn’t deep enough. We set posts below the clay’s active swell line and use galvanized steel reinforcement on gate posts so your gate doesn’t sag out of square by next spring. Cedar pickets, pressure-treated rails, steel-insert corners where the wind catches the panel runs.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link is the practical choice on Lantana’s larger lots and behind the greenbelt edges, especially if you’re fencing a dog run or securing a side yard that doesn’t face the street. The ARC still has style rules here, so we’ll pull the approved finish options and post cap specs before ordering. Galvanized posts set in concrete, tension wire at the base, and tight top rails. It’s the most affordable option, and when the clay shifts, chain link flexes rather than fights.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl’s the most common fence we install across Lantana, and the master-planned community’s design guidelines actually favor it for a reason: it holds up to the sun, wind, and clay movement without bowing or rot. A typical vinyl fence in Lantana runs $3,500 to $9,000 depending on linear feet, panel height, and gate count. We pull the ARC-approved color and profile before we quote so you don’t get red-tagged mid-install.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum fencing in Lantana tends to wrap pool enclosures and perimeter lines where you want the view but need the boundary. We see a lot of it along the golf course edges and on corner lots where neighborhood guidelines call for open sightlines. Powder-coated, welded rails, and posts set on concrete footings that extend below the clay swell line. $4,000 to $10,000 is the typical range in the 76226 zip code.

Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Lantana Homes
- Post bases heaving from expansive clay. Blackland Prairie soil swells in spring and shrinks in drought. Posts set without deep concrete collars heave upward, rack the gate out of square, and split the panel rails. We drill deep footings and use steel-reinforced post assemblies.
- Architectural Review Committee submittal skipped. A contractor skips the ARC filing, a neighbor calls in the unapproved fence style, and Denton County issues a stop-work order. Your fence sits half-built while the paperwork catches up. We file the ARC package before demolition starts.
- Post-tension cable cut during corner post digging. Digging corner posts within five feet of the slab edge without a GPR scan can sever a tensioned cable. That triggers a structural repair no fence contract covers. We scan the slab edge before any post hole is dug near it.
- Zero-lot-line fence confusion with neighbors. On Lantana zero-lot-lines, the shared fence is legally both of yours but only one of you usually built it. We document the existing condition in writing, confirm boundary with the plat, and get both owners’ approvals before replacing shared runs.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Lantana
Yes. Lantana’s Architectural Review Committee requires submittal and approval for exterior fence work even when you’re replacing like-for-like, because the ARC governs material, height, setback, and finish. A matching replacement that skips the submittal can still get red-tagged once a neighbor files a complaint. We file the ARC package first, and we don’t start until we have written approval back. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll pull your ARC checklist before quoting.
Lantana sits on the same Blackland Prairie clay as Argyle, but the difference comes down to how that clay interacts with the community’s dense post-tension slab infrastructure. The clay’s shrink-swell cycle is aggressive across the whole area, and in Lantana the post bases are often set within a few feet of slab edges where drainage patterns concentrate water around the footing. Fences in Argyle tend to have more native soil around them and fewer slab-adjacent fencelines. We set Lantana footings below the active clay zone and add drainage relief where slab runoff pools near the line.
Yes, and in Lantana that’s the standard we hold every job to. Before we dig any post hole near a slab edge, we run a ground-penetrating radar scan to locate the tensioned cables. We never core, cut, or auger into a post-tension slab without that scan, because severing even one cable causes structural damage no fence warranty covers. Call (877) 610-1318 for an exact scope and quote.
The ARC’s design guidelines for Lantana generally approve vinyl, wood with natural or stained finishes, aluminum, and specific ornamental iron profiles, provided they meet the community’s elevation and setback rules. The specifics shift by section of the community, so we pull the current ARC fence package for your street before we write your quote. That way the price matches the approved spec, not a guess.
We document the existing fence condition in writing, pull the plat to confirm the boundary line, and get both property owners to sign off on the scope before we remove a single panel. On Lantana zero-lot-lines, that shared fence is legally both of yours, so both signatures protect both owners. We handle that coordination as part of the job, not an add-on.
