Most fence projects in Sachse run $33 to $66 per linear foot installed, depending on material, height, and HOA requirements. A standard 150-foot cedar privacy fence typically lands between $5,000 and $8,500. Sachse is a growing family suburb on the Dallas and Collin County line, so projects split between first fences in newer Woodbridge-area homes and replacements of aging cedar in the established parts of town.
Sachse Fence Cost by Material
| Fence Type | Cost per Linear Foot (installed) | 150 LF Yard | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cedar privacy (6 ft) | $33–$46 | $5,000–$6,900 | Standard backyard privacy |
| Board-on-board cedar | $44–$60 | $6,600–$9,000 | HOA-spec, no-gap privacy |
| Cedar w/ steel posts | $46–$66 | $6,900–$9,900 | Clay-movement resistance |
| Aluminum / ornamental | $40–$66 | $6,000–$9,900 | Pool code, open sightlines |
Woodbridge and HOA-Spec Fencing
The Woodbridge master-planned community spans Sachse and Wylie, and like most newer Sachse subdivisions it runs an HOA that specifies fence style, height, and often board-on-board so the neighborhood reads consistently. We prepare the documentation your HOA needs and match stain and trim to your home's exterior, because in a master-planned community an aftermarket-looking fence gets flagged. We also pull the City of Sachse permit and confirm which sides may be solid for your specific lot.
Replacing an Aging Sachse Fence
In the established parts of Sachse, most fence calls are replacements: the original cedar is leaning, the posts have rotted at the ground line, and a storm finally took a section down. We tear out and haul the old fence, reset the line if it drifted over the years, and coordinate shared runs with your neighbor. The posts are almost always what failed first, not the pickets, so the money that matters goes below grade.
Blackland Clay and Post Setting in Sachse
Sachse sits on expansive Blackland Prairie clay, and the posts are what fail first. The clay swells when wet and shrinks in summer, which pushes builder-grade posts out of plumb within a few years. We set posts deeper than a typical install, use concrete footings sized for the soil, and offer galvanized steel posts behind cedar pickets on longer or exposed runs so the fence stays straight through the wet-dry cycle.

Maintenance and Lifespan of a Sachse Fence
A new cedar fence grays within a season or two in Sachse's full sun unless it is sealed. A coat of quality stain every two to three years holds the color and protects the boards from the heat and the clay-driven moisture swings, easily adding years to the run. Powder-coated aluminum and the steel-post systems we use need essentially no upkeep. We hand over a short care note at the end of every install so the fence stays straight and good-looking.
Aluminum and Pool Fencing in Sachse
Plenty of Sachse backyards have a pool, and pool fencing has to meet barrier code: minimum height, self-closing and self-latching gates, and spacing that prevents a child from passing through. Powder-coated aluminum is the usual choice because it meets code, keeps the sightline open, and needs no maintenance. We often run aluminum across the pool or view side with cedar privacy on the side yards, and we detail the gate hardware to current code so it passes inspection the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this topic from DFW homeowners and project planners.
How much does a fence cost in Sachse, TX?
Most Sachse fences run $33–$66 per linear foot installed. A standard 150-foot cedar privacy fence typically costs $5,000–$9,000. Board-on-board cedar, the common HOA spec, and steel-post upgrades run higher.
Does Woodbridge or my Sachse HOA control the fence style?
Yes. Woodbridge and most newer Sachse subdivisions specify style, height, and often board-on-board cedar so the neighborhood stays consistent. We prepare the HOA submission, match the spec and stain, and pull the City of Sachse permit.
Do you remove the old fence when you replace it in Sachse?
Yes. In established Sachse most projects are replacements, so we tear out and haul off the old fence, reset the line if it drifted, and coordinate shared runs with your neighbor. Removal typically runs $3–$6 per linear foot and is itemized.
Why do Sachse fences lean, and how do you prevent it?
Sachse's expansive Blackland clay pushes shallow builder-grade posts out of plumb within a few years. We set posts deeper with concrete footings sized for the soil, and use galvanized steel posts behind cedar pickets on longer runs to keep the line straight.
