Are you considering a new fence for your home or business? The right fence can boost privacy, security, and curb appeal. But with so many options—wood, vinyl, chain link, ornamental steel—how do you choose? In this post, we’ll walk you through the key factors, installation process, and what sets Kiel Construction Services apart for fencing in Corpus Christi.
Why Invest in a Quality Fence?
A fence is more than a boundary. It protects your property, keeps pets and children safe, and can even increase your home’s value. For businesses, fencing can secure equipment, define access, and enhance your site’s appearance.
Types of Fencing We Offer
Wood Fences
Wood fences are classic and versatile. They offer privacy and a natural look that fits many neighborhoods. We build privacy, shadowbox, and picket styles using quality lumber and proper installation techniques for long life.
Vinyl Fences
Vinyl fencing is low-maintenance and durable. It resists weather, insects, and fading, making it a great choice for busy homeowners. Choose from privacy, picket, and decorative styles.
Chain Link Fences
Chain link is affordable, secure, and quick to install. It’s ideal for pet enclosures, playgrounds, and commercial yards. We offer galvanized, black, and green-coated options.
Ornamental Steel & Aluminum
For a premium look and lasting strength, ornamental steel and aluminum fences are hard to beat. They’re perfect for front yards, pools, and commercial properties.

Serving Corpus Christi and the Surrounding Area
Kiel Construction Services installs and repairs fencing across Corpus Christi — Flour Bluff, Calallen, Annaville, Southside, Padre Island, and the Bay Area/Ocean Drive corridor — as well as Portland, Ingleside, and Aransas Pass. Because Corpus Christi sits on Beaumont-formation clay with a high shrink-swell range, we set every post below the depth where seasonal moisture swings loosen a shallow footing.
As a fence company that also handles land clearing and grading, we can prep a fence line as part of a larger site package. Learn more about our crew, or see all of our fencing and rent-a-fence services.
Our Fencing Process
Step 1 — Site Walk & Measurement: We walk the fence line with you, measure the run, and note any grade changes, existing structures, or gate locations that affect layout.
Step 2 — Material & Style Selection: Based on your budget and neighborhood style, we recommend wood, vinyl, chain link, or ornamental steel/aluminum, and confirm HOA or ARC requirements where they apply.
Step 3 — Post-Hole Drilling & Setting: Corpus Christi’s clay-heavy soils shift with moisture, so posts are set below the typical frost-free depth with concrete footings sized to the fence height and wind exposure — not a fixed shallow depth regardless of soil.
Step 4 — Installation & Level Runs: Panels or pickets are installed to level, consistent runs, with gates hung and hardware adjusted for smooth operation before we consider a section complete.
Step 5 — Final Walkthrough & Care Tips: We walk the finished fence line with you, point out any maintenance needs specific to your material choice, and provide warranty and care documentation.
