Give Your Yard Some Boundaries
VHS Outdoor Living designs and builds custom fences and gates for homeowners across San Antonio, Boerne, Helotes, Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, and surrounding communities. We work with cedar, iron, aluminum, composite, and custom steel, including manual and automated gates. Fencing can be part of a larger outdoor project or a standalone installation, with the style and materials selected to fit the property and how you use the yard. Fencing projects start around $8,000.
Good Fencing Does More Than Keep Things In
Sometimes you want more privacy around the patio. Sometimes you need to keep the dog in, make the pool safer, hide the neighbor's trash cans, or finally replace the fence that's been leaning for three years.
A fence has a practical job, but it's also a big part of what you see from the yard. We think about the house, landscaping, sightlines, gates, and what you're trying to screen or protect before deciding what belongs there.
Gates get the same attention. We build pedestrian and driveway gates, including automated options, as part of the fence design so they don't feel like something added at the end.

Fencing and Gate Installations for South Texas Properties
Cedar is a popular choice for privacy fencing and works with a wide range of San Antonio homes. We build standard privacy, board-on-board, and other cedar fence styles. It does require periodic staining or sealing if you want to preserve the color and extend the life of the wood.
Cedar Fencing
Horizontal fencing gives the yard a more modern look and works especially well behind patios, pools, and contemporary landscaping. It can be built in cedar or composite, with different maintenance requirements and price points for each.
Horizontal Slat Fencing
Iron and custom steel work well when you want a fence to provide separation without completely closing off the view. We often use them around front yards, pools, gates, and other areas where an open fence makes more sense than privacy fencing. Proper finishing is important in South Texas to help protect the metal from corrosion.
Iron and Steel Fencing
Aluminum gives you the open look of metal fencing with less maintenance and no rust. It's a practical option around pools and other areas where you want visibility through the fence without the upkeep of wood or steel.
Aluminum Fencing
We build pedestrian and driveway gates to work with the fence rather than look like an afterthought. Gate width, weight, hardware, clearance, and everyday use all affect the design. Automated operators are available for driveway and entry gates.
Custom Gates
Driveway and entry gates can be paired with electric or solar operators for easier access. We plan the gate, operator, power requirements, and available clearance together so the automation works with the gate rather than being added to it later.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How long will a wood fence last in San Antonio? The lifespan of a wood fence depends on the material, sun and moisture exposure, installation, and how it's maintained. Cedar is commonly used here because it performs well outdoors, but staining or sealing can help protect the wood and keep it looking better over time.
Does fencing require a permit in San Antonio? It depends on the height and location of the fence. Some fence installations require permits, others don't. We assess this during the consultation and handle permitting coordination when it's required.
