Fence & Hardscape in Fulshear — questions homeowners ask
How deep do fence posts need to be in Fulshear clay?
Due to the shrink-swell nature of our local soil, posts should generally be set 24 to 36 inches deep with a flared concrete base to prevent heaving during wet seasons.
What is the best hardscape material for a patio in this area?
Flagstone and porcelain pavers are popular in Fulshear because they handle the heat well and can be installed on a flexible sand and gravel base that moves with the ground.
Do I need a permit for a new retaining wall in Fulshear?
If the wall is over 4 feet tall, the City of Fulshear typically requires an engineered plan to ensure proper drainage and structural integrity against our heavy spring rains.
