A Solid Barrier That Defines Your Space
Privacy Fence Installation in Plano for yards that need seclusion, noise reduction, and a clear boundary
At Mom's Fence Man, we design and install custom privacy fences for homeowners in Plano, TX, and the surrounding communities. Whether you're looking to create a more secluded backyard, enhance security, reduce outside noise, or provide a safe space for children and pets, a privacy fence is an excellent investment for your property.
Our privacy fences are constructed with high-quality materials and carefully installed to provide long-lasting durability and attractive curb appeal. We use closely spaced pickets to help block visibility from neighboring properties and nearby streets, creating a more comfortable and private outdoor environment for your family to enjoy.
Cedar is one of the most popular choices for privacy fencing due to its natural beauty, durability, and resistance to rot and insect damage. Our team installs sturdy fence posts and reinforced rails to ensure your fence can withstand Texas weather conditions while maintaining its strength and appearance for years to come. We also build durable gates designed for smooth operation and long-term reliability.
Every property is unique, which is why we work closely with homeowners to determine the best fence height, style, and layout for their needs. Whether you're enclosing a backyard, surrounding a pool area, or upgrading an existing fence, we'll help you choose a solution that complements your home and meets any applicable neighborhood requirements.

How Privacy Fencing Is Built and What It Delivers
The installation begins with corner and end posts set in concrete, followed by line post spaced 6 feet or less apart depending on the fence height and material. Rails are attached using galvanized screws or ring-shank nails, and pickets are placed tight against each other or with a narrow gap if airflow is a concern. The top of the fence is checked for level across the entire run, and any adjustments are made before the final fasteners are driven.
Once the fence is up, you'll notice an immediate reduction in noise from surrounding properties, and the yard will feel more enclosed and intentional. You won't see movement or headlights from the street, and outdoor furniture or play equipment becomes less visible from the outside. Mom's Fence Man builds privacy fences with attention to alignment and finish, so the structure looks clean from both sides and holds its shape through seasonal temperature swings and high wind events.
The installation includes layout, post setting, rail and picket attachment, and gate installation if included in the scope. Custom height options are available up to HOA or municipal limits, and decorative post caps or lattice toppers can be added during the build. Staining or sealing is not included but can be arranged as a follow-up service.
What Homeowners Want to Know About Privacy Fences
These answers cover the details that matter most when planning a privacy fence installation in Plano and the surrounding area.
What height works best for privacy without violating local rules?
Most privacy fences in Plano are built to six feet in the backyard, though some HOAs allow up to eight feet with approval, and front yard fences are typically limited to four feet.
How tight should the pickets be spaced?
For full privacy, pickets are placed edge to edge with limited visible gap, though a quarter-inch spacing can be used if you want airflow without sacrificing much visual coverage.
Does a privacy fence require more maintenance than other styles?
Cedar privacy fences benefit from occasional cleaning and sealing to prevent moisture absorption, but the material itself is naturally resistant to rot and insect damage.
Will the fence block wind or create more pressure on the posts?
A solid fence does catch more wind, which is why posts are set deeper and spaced closer together to handle the lateral load during storms.
Can the fence be built on a slope without leaving gaps at the bottom?
Yes, the fence can be stepped in sections to follow the grade, or pickets can be trimmed to follow the slope while maintaining a level top rail.
