AfterFast, Reliable Fence Installation Across Lucas
Fence installation in Lucas typically runs $3,500 to $9,000 for a standard residential project, with premium custom builds on larger lots running higher. We’ve been putting up fences across this town long enough to know every one of those 2-acre parcels has its own drainage pattern, its own tree line, and its own set of Collin County sign-offs. If you’re ready to price out a new fence, call Tom Barrett and his sons at (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate. The person who answers will actually be one of us.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lucas’s Preferred Fence Installation Company
Lucas homeowners don’t ask for much, but they do ask for a contractor who’ll still be around when the warranty matters. We’ve worked on custom estates off Lucas Road, properties back in the wooded sections near Country Club Road, and homes along Stacy Road where the lots stretch far enough that the back fence line feels like a different zip code. The 75002 area isn’t where you cut corners, and we don’t.
Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not a pitch, it’s just who shows up on job day. Every scope change gets written down and handed to you before any work happens, because the allowance that isn’t on paper is a surprise waiting for a date. Permits get pulled, inspections get signed, and every finished fence carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. Ask anyone on your street or look up the license number yourself.
When a fence post shifts during a Blackland Prairie drought, you want a crew who understands why. We do, and we live twenty minutes away. If something’s wrong, we want to know about it.
Our Fence Installation Services in Lucas
Wood Fence
Wood fences in Lucas frame some of the prettiest lots in Collin County. We build with pressure-treated pine, western red cedar, and custom designs that actually hold up to our wet springs and dry summers. Most Lucas homeowners choose 6-foot privacy fencing with steel post reinforcement, which makes sense when your back property line borders a pasture or a densely wooded creek bed. Expect a typical wood fence in Lucas to land between $3,500 and $8,000 depending on linear footage and gate count.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link is the right call for Lucas properties that need to contain dogs, keep horses visible at the property edge, or secure a side yard without blocking sightlines across acreage. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link in 4-foot, 5-foot, and 6-foot heights, and we set posts in concrete every time. On open Lucas lots where the wind comes hard off the prairie, a properly tensioned chain link fence beats a flimsy one every season. Most chain link projects here run $2,800 to $6,500.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl privacy fencing keeps selling in Lucas for one simple reason: zero maintenance. No staining, no sealing, no warped pickets after a September dry spell. On larger estate lots, white and tan vinyl pencil-top panels look sharp against mature oaks and native grassland. We use premium vinyl with aluminum-reinforced bottom rails so the panels don’t sag between posts. Vinyl fence installation for a typical Lucas property ranges $4,000 to $9,000.
Aluminum Fence
If you’re fencing around a pool, a garden, or a view corridor, aluminum gives you the clean look of wrought iron without the rust battle. We install it frequently along Lucas frontages where an HOA or estate aesthetic calls for something open and architectural. Aluminum holds up beautifully in our climate, and we stock enough common sections and hardware to keep installation moving quickly. Expect $4,500 to $10,000 for a full aluminum perimeter on a standard Lucas lot.
We also build fence gates, repair existing fence runs, and handle commercial fencing for properties along the busier stretches of Lucas Road and Stacy Road.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lucas
When we install vinyl and aluminum, we lean on manufacturers like Ply Gem and Simonton-grade panel systems because their warranties actually pay out and their replacement parts stay in production. For wood work, our crews source from regional mills and treat every post hole as its own small foundation. That’s the difference between a fence that’s straight in April and a fence that’s still straight after the clay expands in May and contracts in August. We keep common hardware, gate kits, and replacement pickets on hand so Lucas customers aren’t waiting on a backordered part from a warehouse in another state.
Common Fence Installation Problems We See in Lucas Homes
- Blackland Prairie soil movement. Lucas sits on expansive clay that swells with spring rain and cracks open in summer drought. Posts set shallow or without proper concrete footings lean within two seasons, which is why we set posts 24-30 inches deep and use concrete collars on every job.
- Long property lines with real terrain. Many Lucas parcels run 200, 400, even 600 feet along the back boundary. That’s not a weekend project. It requires proper layout, multiple gate placements, and a plan for drainage so water doesn’t pool at fence corners and accelerate post rot.
- Septic and easement surprises. Because so many Lucas homes rely on septic systems rather than municipal sewer, fence lines frequently cross leach fields, drain lines, or recorded easements. We locate and mark everything before digging, because hitting a septic lateral on an acreage lot is a bad Tuesday.
- Tree roots and mature landscaping. Lucas lots are full of mature oaks, cedars, and deep-rooted hardwoods. A good fence route respects the root zones of established trees rather than tearing through them, and we adjust post spacing and line location rather than fighting what’s been growing there for 40 years.
Pricing for Fence Installation in Lucas, TX
Let’s be straight about numbers, because no one wants a phone quote and a door-knock surprise. A standard wood privacy fence around a Lucas yard runs $3,500 to $8,000. Vinyl usually lands between $4,000 and $9,000, and aluminum between $4,500 and $10,000. Chain link is the value play at $2,800 to $6,500.
What moves your number: linear footage (Lucas lots run big, and that’s simply more fence), gate count, terrain (sloped and wooded sections cost more), and whether we’re pulling out an existing fence first. Every price we give is a written line-item quote. If anything changes during the job, you get a written change order before work continues. That’s how Tom has run it since 1998, and it’s why Lucas homeowners call us the second time. The ask is always just the free estimate: call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll schedule a walk-through at your property.
We also handle Driveway & Pavers in Lucas when your fence project turns into a bigger outdoor plan, and if you’re thinking about adding living space while we’re on site, we build Home Additions & ADU in Lucas too.

FAQs - Fence Installation in Lucas
How fast can you start a fence installation in Lucas?
Most Lucas fence installations can be scheduled within 7 to 14 days after your estimate is approved, depending on material availability and current crew load. We order wood, vinyl, and aluminum panels as soon as you sign the written quote, so the clock starts immediately. Call (877) 610-1318 to get on the schedule.
Do you cover all Lucas neighborhoods and the 75002 area?
Yes. We work the entire 75002 zip code, including properties along Lucas Road, Country Club Road, Stacy Road, Forest Creek Estates, and the custom acreage lots in the eastern and northern sections of town. If you’re inside Lucas city limits or on an unincorporated Collin County parcel nearby, we cover it.
How much does fence installation cost in Lucas compared to Allen or Plano?
Lucas fence pricing is typically 10-15% higher than neighboring Allen or Plano because properties trend larger, runs are longer, and terrain is less uniform. A fence that costs $4,500 in a Plano subdivision might run $5,200 in Lucas simply because there’s more of it and the ground work is more involved. The numbers on our written quote are the only numbers that matter for your specific property.
Will the price change once the fence installation starts?
No, unless you ask for something different mid-job. Your written quote lists every allowance and every scope item. If we uncover something unexpected and need to adjust, you receive a written change order before any additional work happens. No change order, no surprise invoice. That’s been the Barrett rule since 1998.
What warranty do you offer on fence installation in Lucas?
Every completed fence carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing, which covers workmanship. One call brings Tom back to make it right. Beyond that, material warranties come from the manufacturers we install, and we’ll help you file those claims if something fails down the road. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through the specifics on your project.
If you’re still reading, you’re probably serious about getting a fence done right. Good. Call us at (877) 610-1318. Tom or one of his sons will answer, and we’ll set a time to walk your Lucas property, put numbers on paper, and build something that’ll still be standing when your grandkids visit.
