Masonry is the fence you buy once. Brick and stone do not rot and do not fade, and a wall on a proper footing outlasts the house beside it.
Most people come to it for the front of the property, where the fence is on show, or for a line against a road where a wood fence does nothing about the noise. The usual build is two or four stone columns with iron or wood between them, which puts masonry where it shows and keeps the rest of the fence sensible, and one crew builds all of it.
Two brick and stone fence styles, and not one callback across twenty thousand fences last year
Pick the style standing in your own yard, with somebody who has built all of them, and let the yard decide. Each one is for a different yard and a different buyer.
Stone Columns
For an entrance or a driveway opening that should say something before the fence does. Freestanding columns on their own footings, usually paired with a wood or iron fence carrying the rest of the property line. See the footing under the columns.
Masonry Wall
For privacy plus sound. A full height wall on an engineered footing does what no fence panel can against traffic noise off a busy road. It holds your boundary for as long as the house stands.
Price a fence before you call
See what a fence costs before anyone quotes you.
Pick the material, the height and how many feet of fence, and the calculator shows the market range for a fence like yours in Texas. Then a salesperson measures the real one in your yard and the number comes back the same day.

What a new brick and stone fence costs in Texas
HomeGuide puts a brick fence three to six feet tall at $60 to $240 a foot installed, Angi puts a six to eight foot brick privacy wall at $200 to $360 a foot, and a brick or stone column runs $500 to $3,000 each. Columns with iron between them price as the columns plus the iron fence, which is why most entrances get that build. Those figures cover the masonry on flat ground, before the footing, the permit and the panels between.
What moves your number
Stone costs more to lay than brick because no two pieces match. A full wall costs a multiple of columns with panels between. The footing goes below the clay movement and carries steel, and Houston asks for a permit on masonry at any height. A cast stone cap and a lantern conduit add a little now and save a lot later.
Why the Johnson number is the one to get
A salesperson measures the fence line in your yard, so the number is yours and not a guess at it, and it covers the tear-out and the haul-off. Our footing goes below the clay movement and carries steel, which is where a cheap wall fails first, and we file the permit. One year of craftsmanship on the work, and not one callback on twenty thousand jobs last year.
Financing is available through Synchrony, a third party, if you would rather pay monthly. Ask your salesperson for the terms when the quote comes back. See how financing works.
Which brick and stone fence you should actually buy
Columns with panels between
Pick this where you want the look of masonry at the entrance and the drive and a sensible number for the rest of the line. Columns go at the corners, at the gate and every so often along the fence, and iron or cedar carries the panels between them. It is the build most entrances get.
A full masonry wall
Pick this where the fence has to stop sound as well as sight, or where nothing else will do. A wall needs an engineered footing and, in Houston, a permit at any height, which we file. It is the most expensive fence we build and the one you do not buy twice.
Brick or stone
Match the house. A brick house gets the same brick or a deliberate contrast, and a limestone or stucco house gets Texas chopped limestone. Stone costs more to lay because no two pieces are the same size. Both sit on the same footing and take the same cap.
The three things that decide how long your brick and stone fence lasts
A fence is three things: what holds it up, what carries the load between the posts, and what you see from the street. You choose the last one. We build the first two the same way on every job, which is how twenty thousand fences last year produced not one callback.
Posts set below where Texas clay moves
The crew digs to depth for the height you picked, wet sets the posts in concrete and leaves them to cure. Texas clay moves through a dry summer and a wet spring, and a post set shallow is why a fence leans three years later. Ours do not.
A frame we never lighten to win a quote
Rails carry your fence between the posts. You never see them, and they decide whether the line stays straight. A cheap bid saves its money here first. We do not build a frame lighter than the job needs to make a number look better.
Hardware that never bleeds rust down your new fence
Fasteners, hinges and latches match the material, so nothing streaks. Your gate hardware carries the most weight and the most use, so its size follows the leaf rather than the price.
How your brick and stone fence will actually look
Masonry is the most visible thing on the front of a property, so it is worth a minute on how it should look. Every one of these is a choice you make with the salesperson, and the cap and the mortar are the two that change the read most.
The cap
A cast stone cap with a drip edge keeps rain off the face of the column and stops the streaking. A flat cap reads modern and a peaked cap reads traditional.
The mortar
A pale mortar shows every joint and reads as stone laid by hand. A mortar matched to the stone makes the column read as one piece. Raked joints throw a shadow and tooled joints do not.
A lantern or a number
A column at the drive carries a lantern or the house number without a post in the lawn. The conduit goes in with the first course, so there is no trench to dig later.
Panels between
Iron between columns keeps the view open and suits a front elevation. Cedar between columns closes the yard and suits a side or back line. Both hang off the column on plates set into the masonry.
The gate
A driveway gate hangs off the column on a steel post buried inside it, sized for the leaf, and a walk gate matches the panels. Both go on the quote with the masonry, so the footing goes in once.
Texas clay is the reason the footing goes deep
The Blackland clay from Dallas to San Antonio and the gumbo under Houston both swell wet and shrink dry, and a wall on a shallow footing cracks in the first dry August. A masonry footing here goes below the movement and carries steel in it. The wall steps at each column on a slope. A live oak on the line keeps its roots, and the footing bridges them. Houston asks for a permit on masonry at any height, and we file it.
One price covers the whole job, tear-out to walk-through
The quote covers the tear-out, the haul-off and the new fence, one number in writing. This is what that means on your property, and none of it lands on you.
Your old fence leaves on our truck, concrete and all
The old panels, rails and pickets come down first. The old posts come out with the concrete still on them, and all of it leaves your property on the truck. Nothing stays buried in your yard and nothing sits at the curb for you to deal with. This is a full replacement, so we take the whole fence, not a section of it.
The crew walks the fence line with you before it drives away
Every gate on your property is swung, squared and latched. The crew picks the debris up off your yard, and it leaves with the truck. Then you walk the finished run with the crew, before anyone drives away, and you say whether it is right.
How it works
A hundred crews, so the date we give you is the date you get
You call, or you send the form
A salesperson picks up when one is free. Otherwise you get a call back, almost always the same day.
You get a rough number on the phone
We price from your address before anyone drives out, so you know early whether we are in your range.
A salesperson measures in your yard
The salesperson measures your fence line in feet. You pick the height, the style and the grade standing where the fence will go.
Your quote comes back the same day
One number, in writing, with the scope written next to it. Nobody stands in your kitchen waiting for a signature.
Work starts in about four days
A hundred crews means one is free when you are. It loads every material at our yard before the truck leaves, so it reaches you able to finish the job.
The crew finishes and you walk it
Most jobs finish the day they start. You walk the fence, the gates and the cleanup with the foreman before anyone leaves, and you say whether it is right.
Where we work
Your crew works out of your metro, not a truck from another city
A hundred crews run out of seven offices across four Texas metros, and the one nearest your address is the one that shows up. Your crew is never a truck from another city, so your date does not wait on one.

Twenty thousand fences last year, and not one callback
Fence didn’t budge an inch when severe storms came through the next day!
Celeste T.Google review, Houston North office, August 2025 Johnson replaced a metal fence along my back yard. They were responsive to my needs, came in a fair price and delivered as promised. The quality of the materials is excellent and the installation was seamless. i would highly recommend them.
David H.Google review, Houston North office, August 2025 I have had Johnson services first – put in a perimeter fence, then- add a front gate, then add a side gate, then recently a back gate- I have been very pleased with all of their work, their workers, their sales person, and office staff. Thank you very much!!! This is over a 3 year period- still satisfied.

Common questions about a new brick and stone fence
How long does the work take?
Most back yards finish the day the crew starts, because the crew counted and loaded every material before the truck left our yard. A long fence, heavy gates or a stubborn tear-out can take it into a second day, and your salesperson gives you the day count before you sign anything.
Do you haul the old fence away?
Yes, all of it. The old panels, the old posts and the concrete they sat in leave with the crew that day. Removal and haul-off are in the one price, never a line added to your bill afterward.
Do I need a permit for a new fence?
A residential fence in Texas rarely needs one. Your city or your HOA can still cap the height or set which side the finished face goes on. We check both before a post goes in the ground, which is one of the reasons the date holds.
What does the warranty cover?
One year of craftsmanship on every job, and across more than 20,000 jobs last year not one customer needed it. It covers our work: how the posts sit, how the frame hangs, how the gates swing and latch. Materials carry whatever their maker puts on them.
How soon can you start?
About four days after you sign the quote, on a typical job. A hundred crews means one is free when you are. Storm weeks run longer, and your salesperson will tell you plainly when that is happening rather than let you find out.
Can I pay for a brick and stone fence monthly?
Yes. Financing is available through Synchrony, a third party. Ask your salesperson for the terms when your quote comes back. Then build the fence that fits the payment you are comfortable with.
