Referral website, not the contractor. How it works

Fence cost in Lubbock depends mostly on material and length. National guides put installed fence at about $6 to $50 per foot, with $23 typical (HomeAdvisor).

Lubbock Fence Install is a referral website, not a fence company. We send your request to one independent local fence company. You never pay us; companies we refer you to may pay us for referrals. When you're ready for a real number, send a request with the form.

All figures on this page are national ranges from published cost guides, checked in October 2026. We found no published Lubbock price survey we could verify, so treat these as a yardstick for judging a quote, not as a quote.

Price per foot by fence type

Fence type	National installed price per foot	Source	Details
Wood privacy, 6 ft	About $25 to $50	HomeAdvisor	Wood fence
Wood (all styles)	About $15 to $45	Thumbtack	Wood fence
Shadowbox wood	About $19 to $39	Fixr	Wood fence
Chain link	About $10 to $20 for most homeowners ($8 to $40 by height)	HomeAdvisor	Chain link
Ornamental iron, 4 to 6 ft	About $50 to $85	HomeGuide	Wrought iron

Pipe and cable	About $20 to $30+	HomeGuide	Pipe fence
Vinyl	About $19 to $35	Thumbtack	Ask the company

The guides don't agree exactly, because each mixes heights, styles and regions differently. Thumbtack's average across all materials is $23 to $57 per foot. Use the range for your fence type and height, not the overall average.

What 100, 200, 300 or 500 feet costs

These totals multiply the per-foot ranges above by length. They don't include gates, old-fence removal or unusual digging.

Length	Wood privacy, 6 ft ($25–$50/ft)	Chain link ($10–$20/ft)	Ornamental iron ($50–$85/ft)	Pipe and cable ($20–$30/ft)
50 ft	$1,250–$2,500	$500–$1,000	$2,500–$4,250	$1,000–$1,500
100 ft	$2,500–$5,000	$1,000–$2,000	$5,000–$8,500	$2,000–$3,000
200 ft	$5,000–$10,000	$2,000–$4,000	$10,000–$17,000	$4,000–$6,000
300 ft	$7,500–$15,000	$3,000–$6,000	$15,000–$25,500	$6,000–$9,000

Published averages by length suggest the price per foot drops on longer runs. HomeAdvisor's own averages across all materials are about $2,300 for 100 feet, $3,600 for 150 feet and $6,900 for 200 feet. Thumbtack's averages run from $2,978 for 51 to 100 feet up to $5,927 for anything over 250 feet. HomeAdvisor also notes that a typical 1/5-acre lot needs about 150 feet of fence.

A sample backyard budget

HomeAdvisor says a typical 1/5-acre lot needs about 150 feet of fence. Here's what replacing an old fence on that lot with a 6-foot wood privacy fence looks like at national prices:

Line item	Math	Range
150 ft of 6-ft wood privacy fence	150 x $25 to $50	$3,750 to $7,500
One walk gate	basic to premium	$150 to $1,200
Remove and haul off the old fence	150 x $3 to $5	$450 to $750
Total		About $4,350 to $9,450

Switch the side runs to chain link, or do the tear-out yourself, and the total drops. Go to 8 feet, add a drive gate or hit caliche, and it rises.

Repair or replace: the cost math

HomeAdvisor's fence repair average is about $619, with most repairs between $304 and $948. Replacing a single post averages about $270. If a storm took out one section of an otherwise sound fence, repair usually costs far less. Once the repair estimate approaches the cost of rebuilding that run, or several wood posts are failing at once, a new run on steel posts is worth pricing. See fence repair for how insurance handles fences.

What pushes a Lubbock fence quote up

Wind-rated construction. On a solid privacy fence, heavier steel posts, tighter post spacing and deeper footings all add cost. A Lubbock fence company's FAQ, hosted on KCBD's website, recommends setting posts 24 inches deep in concrete, or 36 inches for fences over 6 feet or in high wind. Deeper holes mean more digging and more concrete.

Caliche. USDA's description of the Amarillo soil series, widespread on the Southern High Plains, places a calcium carbonate (caliche) layer 30 to 60 inches below the surface. Related soils such as Arvana have a cemented layer 20 to 40 inches down. If the auger hits it, digging slows down. Ask whether the price assumes easy digging and what happens if it doesn't.

Height and style. Taller fences use more material and need stronger posts. Board-on-board uses more pickets than side-by-side.

Gates and openings. Each walk gate adds hardware and a pair of stout posts. A wide drive gate, especially an automatic one, can cost as much as a long run of fence.

Tear-out and haul-off. Removing an old fence and disposing of it is a separate line item.

Corner lots and HOA rules. Corner lots may need a different layout to stay out of the city's 25-foot vision-clearance triangle. HOAs may require a specific style. Both can change the materials list. See the Lubbock fence rules guide.

Ways to keep the cost down

HomeAdvisor suggests a few: take down the old fence yourself, pick a simpler style, clear debris before the crew arrives and split the cost of a shared boundary fence with the neighbor. It also notes that crews slow down in late fall and winter, which can mean better prices and more open calendars. Mixing materials helps too: a privacy fence in back with chain link or pipe along the side or rear lines.

Do fence companies charge to give a price?

Policies differ, so ask when you call whether there's a charge for the site visit or the quote, especially for a small repair. Whatever the policy, the written estimate should list the length, height, post type and depth, gates, removal and total price.

How we got these numbers

Sources: HomeAdvisor, HomeGuide, Thumbtack and Fixr national cost pages. Each source is linked at the bottom of this page.
Date checked: October 2026. Thumbtack's page was last updated July 1, 2026; HomeGuide's pipe fence guide is dated February 15, 2026; Fixr's fence page was last updated January 31, 2025. HomeAdvisor labels its pages "2025 data."
National, not local: None of these guides publish a Lubbock or Texas-only figure we could verify. Labor rates, material delivery and soil all differ by area.
Totals are arithmetic: the length table multiplies the published per-foot ranges. It is not a survey of real Lubbock jobs.
Not quotes: only a company that has measured your yard can give you a price.
