Fencing in Murphy, TX

Most master-planned communities in Murphy require ACC approval before the city permit is pulled. The package typically includes material specs, height dimensions, color selections, and a plat showing fence placement. We prepare the full HOA submission and coordinate both the ACC and city permit process — first-round approval is standard when the documentation is complete.

We set posts at 28–32 inches minimum with structural concrete, and 36 inches on corner and gate posts. Collin County Blackland Prairie clay expands when wet and contracts in dry summers — shallow posts heave and go out of plumb within a few years without proper depth and concrete mix.

Cedar board-on-board is the most common privacy fence material in Murphy — it fits HOA aesthetic requirements, is cost-effective for standard 50–80 foot lots, and works across most community design guidelines. Ornamental iron and aluminum are preferred for front accents and properties bordering greenbelt or golf course edges where visibility is preferred.
