A Permanent Underground Barrier · No Contract

Wildlife Fencing in Houston,
Fort Worth & Granbury, TX

Stop Digging. Start Protecting.

A standard fence stops an animal that has to go over it. It does nothing for one that goes under it. Armadillos, raccoons, skunks, and opossums push under an existing fence line without much effort — and once they find a weak spot, they'll use it every time.

Wildlife fencing is a professionally installed underground barrier designed to stop that permanently — no digging under, no re-entry, no repeat visits from the same animal finding the same gap.

Digging Under the Fence — and Getting Into the House?

Fencing protects your perimeter. It doesn't seal gaps in your roofline, vents, or foundation — like the one pictured here, sealed on a recent NoCo exclusion job. If you're dealing with both — animals digging into your yard and something getting into the structure itself — pair this with wildlife exclusion, which comes with a 12-month covered-wildlife warranty.

Wildlife Fencing FAQ

What animals does wildlife fencing actually stop?

It's built for digging wildlife — armadillos, raccoons, skunks, opossums, and other animals that push under an existing fence rather than climb or jump it. If you're finding fresh digging along your fence line, or animals keep getting into an area you thought was sealed off, this is the fix.

How deep does the barrier go, and how much shows above ground?

Up to 18 inches below grade and up to 24 inches above grade, installed along the approved fence or structure line. The below-grade depth is what stops the digging — most digging wildlife won't push through solid barrier that deep.

What's the barrier made of?

A durable, galvanized wildlife barrier, excavated into the ground, secured, with ends and transitions reinforced so animals can't exploit a weak point at the corners or gate openings. We backfill the trench and leave the work area orderly when we're done.

How is pricing calculated?

$30 per linear foot, based on measured footage of the approved fence or structure line, plus a service fee and applicable Texas sales tax (currently 8.25%). Pricing assumes standard soil, access, and installation conditions.

What could change the price once you're on site?

Rock, concrete, major roots, irrigation repairs, grading work, hidden utilities, or additional restoration can all affect the scope. If we hit any of that during installation, we'll put together a written change order for your approval before any additional work begins — no surprise charges.

Can this be combined with wildlife exclusion?

Yes, and for a lot of properties it should be. Fencing stops animals from digging under your perimeter; exclusion seals the gaps that let them into the structure itself. If you're dealing with both problems, we'll scope both during the same inspection.
