Q1: Which types of wood fencing does Wolverine Land Services install in the San Antonio area and surrounding communities?

Wolverine Land Services is your expert fence company specializing in high-quality wood fence installation across the greater San Antonio metro area, including Helotes, Boerne, Cibolo, and Schertz.

We primarily work with two durable wood types popular in Central Texas:

1. Cedar Fence: Known for its rich color, natural resistance to rot and insects, and low shrinkage. A Cedar fence provides premium privacy and lasts longer than many other materials, making it a favorite for properties in Bergheim and Spring Branch.
2. Pine Fence (Pressure-Treated): An economical yet durable option. The pressure-treating process significantly enhances the wood's resistance to moisture and pests, offering an excellent, long-lasting wood fence solution for homeowners in Converse and Universal City.

Q2: Does Wolverine Land Services offer emergency fence repair for storm-damaged wood fences?

Yes, timely fence repair is a core service we provide across all our operational areas, from San Antonio to Bulverde. Texas storms, high winds, and moisture are the primary causes of damage to wood fences.

Our emergency fence repair services address common issues:

• Replacing broken or split Pine fence and Cedar fence pickets.
• Repairing leaning or failed posts due to ground saturation or rot.
• Fixing sagging gates and compromised structural rails.

We are committed to rapid response and professional service, ensuring the security and integrity of your property's perimeter in areas like Helotes and Boerne are quickly restored.

Q3: What determines the cost of a new Cedar or Pine wood fence installation?

The cost for a new wood fence installation in the San Antonio area depends mainly on three factors: wood type, the height and linear footage of the fence, and the specific design style (e.g., board-on-board privacy vs. shadowbox).

• Material: A Cedar fence is typically a higher investment than a pressure-treated Pine fence due to Cedar's superior natural properties and longevity.
• Linear Footage: The length of the fence line directly impacts the total material and labor required.
• Location: While our pricing is generally consistent, we factor in the specific requirements and conditions of properties in areas like Cibolo and Universal City.

Q4: How does the lifespan and maintenance of a Cedar fence compare to a Pressure-Treated Pine fence?

Both Cedar and Pine fences are excellent choices, but they differ in longevity and required maintenance:

Lifespan

Cedar Fence

Typically 20–30 years (with maintenance).

Pressure-Treated Pine Fence 

Typically 15–20 years (with maintenance).

Maintenance

Cedar Fence

Highly recommended to stain/seal every 3–5 years to protect against UV damage and graying.

Pressure-Treated Pine Fence 

Needs sealing to prevent warping, but the chemical treatment offers good internal protection.

Pest Resistance

Cedar Fence

Natural resistance to insects.

Pressure-Treated Pine Fence 

Excellent chemical resistance due to pressure treatment.

Regular maintenance is key to maximizing the life of any wood fence in the humid climate of Converse or the elevated terrain of Bergheim.

Q5: When should I choose wood fence repair versus a full wood fence replacement?

Determining whether to repair or replace is crucial for cost savings. As the trusted fence company for Schertz and Spring Branch, we provide an honest assessment:

• Choose Repair if: The damage is minor and localized to less than $20\%$ of the structure. For example, if only a few pickets or a single rail are broken, targeted fence repair is the most economical choice.
• Choose Full Replacement if: Your fence is nearing the end of its life (15+ years for Pine, 25+ years for Cedar), or if there is widespread structural failure, such as multiple leaning posts or significant rot across the bottom rails. Attempting multiple patches on an aging fence is rarely a good investment.

We inspect properties from Boerne to Universal City to provide professional advice on the longevity of your existing wood fence.

Q6: Does Wolverine Land Services handle the necessary permits for wood fence installation?

Yes, navigating local permits is part of our comprehensive service. Permit requirements for fencing San Antonio and the surrounding independent cities can be complex:

• San Antonio & Universal City: Typically require permits for new fences or significant structural changes above a certain height (often 6 or 8 feet).
• Boerne & Bulverde: Regulations can be governed by specific city ordinances or by rural HOA guidelines.
• Cibolo & Schertz: Have their own municipal rules regarding setbacks and height.

Wolverine Land Services assists homeowners in Converse, Helotes, and all our service areas by guiding them through the permit application process and ensuring the new Pine fence or Cedar fence installation is fully compliant with all local building codes.
