Fence Line Staking
Your boundary marked with stakes and flagging before the posts go in — so the fence sits on your side of the line and stays out of the neighbor's.
About this service.
A fence built a foot over the line is a problem that lasts as long as the fence. Fence line staking puts the boundary on the ground before construction starts: we recover or re-establish the property corners, then set stakes and flagging along the line at intervals your fence contractor can follow, with offsets where the line itself will be disturbed by post holes.
For rural tracts, this is often the most cost-effective way to be sure a long run of fence follows the deed line rather than an old fence that may have wandered. For city lots, it settles exactly where a new privacy fence belongs relative to the neighbor, easements, and setbacks.
If your corners have never been surveyed or the record is unclear, we will tell you when a full boundary survey is the better starting point.
When you need one
- Replacing or building a fence along a shared property line
- Fencing rural acreage where old fences may not follow the deed line
- A neighbor dispute over where a fence should go
- Confirming a fence will stay clear of easements and setbacks
What you receive
- Property corners recovered or re-established
- Stakes and flagging set along the boundary at agreed intervals
- Offset stakes where the line will be disturbed during construction
- A sketch or plat of the staked line on request
Usually a single field visit once the corners are established. Add a boundary survey if corners are missing or the record is unclear.
Where we provide it
Frequently requested in these service areas. Licensed statewide, so larger projects anywhere in Texas are welcome.
Common questions
No. Staking marks a line between corners that are already established and verifiable. If the corners cannot be found or the record is unclear, a boundary survey is required first so the line being staked is actually your boundary.
Many owners set the fence a few inches inside their line to avoid any question of encroachment. We can stake the line itself or an offset line, whichever you and your contractor prefer.
