Fort Worth has its own identity distinct from Dallas — the City of Cowboys and Culture sits at the western edge of the Metroplex where the Blackland Prairie transitions toward the Cross Timbers and the rolling West Texas terrain, and where the working cattle industry, the National Cowboy & Western Heritage influence, and the Stockyards district give the city a cultural character that its eastern neighbor has never fully shared. The Fort Worth fence market covers Tarrant County’s blend of established urban neighborhoods, the fast-growing southwestern suburbs of Burleson and Crowley, and the mid-cities corridor of Hurst, Euless, and Bedford that bridges Fort Worth and Dallas. Hurst in particular — where Fence Works is based — sits squarely in the mid-cities market that serves both sides of the Metroplex divide and where HOA-governed suburban subdivisions are dense.

Fort Worth Zoning & Permit Guide
City of Fort Worth: The Fort Worth Development Services Department requires a permit for most permanent fence installations. Standard residential zoning allows rear and side yard fences up to 6 feet and front yard fences up to 4 feet. Fort Worth’s historic Fairmount and Ryan Place neighborhoods have active neighborhood associations with additional character guidelines.
Tarrant County Suburbs (Hurst, Euless, Bedford, Keller, Burleson): Each mid-cities and suburban community operates its own building department entirely independent of Fort Worth. Hurst, Euless, and Bedford — known collectively as HEB — each require permits for permanent residential fences. The booming southwestern suburbs of Burleson and Crowley have active HOA landscapes in their newer developments. See our FAQ on fence permit requirements.
Blackland Prairie Clay: Fort Worth sits on the same Blackland Prairie clay as Dallas, and the same footing adaptations apply — deeper posts, wider concrete, and drainage provisions engineered for shrink-swell clay. The clay transition toward the Cross Timbers west of the city means soil conditions can vary significantly across Tarrant County. Ask your contractor about your specific property’s soil type.
Pool Safety: Texas pool barrier requirements mandate a minimum 48-inch (4-foot) enclosure with self-closing, self-latching gates. Learn more about making your fence pool code compliant.
Utilities: Texas law requires calling Texas 811 at least two working days before any digging begins.
