    Friendswood sits on a mix of clay and sandy loam near Galveston Bay, requiring corrosion-resistant hardware and proper post depth to handle soil movement. Friendswood also sees coastal humidity and occasional flooding from tropical weather, which is why every wood pergola we build here sits on galvanized steel posts set in concrete. Cedar privacy fences with steel posts dominate West Ranch and Heritage Park. Aluminum pool fences are common due to Friendswood's pool-heavy neighborhoods.

    What Friendswood Homeowners Say About Us

    5.026 reviews on Google
    “My 25 yo cedar fence was partially destroyed by Hurricane Beryl so I decided to replace the entire section of fence. I contacted several fence companies but only Kyle at 360Fence & Deck responded quickly with a willingness to measure the section and provide an estimate within the next 2 days. The estimate was lower than previous quotes and I was impressed with Kyle's customer service. They completed the job within 3 days and I am very satisfied with the results. I was very grateful they built the new fence without harming existing landscaping growing on the old fence. Clearly these guys are excellent craftsmen with the appearance and quality adhering to very high standards. Kyle was very helpful in answering my questions and concerns. I would definitely use 360Fence & Deck co for future work and I strongly recommend them to others.”
