Fencing here
Schertz spreads across Guadalupe, Bexar and Comal counties along I-35 between New Braunfels and San Antonio, next to Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph. Much of the city is subdivisions, so HOA rules often shape the fence.
The ground
Much of Schertz sits on clay soils that shift with moisture. Posts need to be set deep, and steel posts are a common upgrade. If your yard holds water after rain, mention it, because it affects post setting and the bottom boards.
Rules to check
The City of Schertz has its own fence regulations, so check with the city before building. In subdivisions, get HOA approval in writing first. HOAs often set height, material, stain color and which side faces out.
Popular projects
Six-foot privacy fences on new homes, replacing builder-grade fences, board-on-board upgrades, gates wide enough for mowers and trailers, and pool fencing.

Common questions
My HOA has fence rules. Can a contractor work with them?
Yes. Share your HOA's guidelines when you request a quote so the contractor prices the required style, and get written approval before work starts.
