Our South Austin Fence Contractors
Meet William “Woody” Woodworth
How Did You Get Into Fencing? I was born in Austin and am a graduate of Del Valle High School, 1983. My Dad taught me how to build fences when I was 12 years old and everyone in my family knew how to build a fence. I served in the Army until 1992 and would build fences during my free time. After serving my country, I wanted to build fences for a living.
Recently my wife and I decided to move back to Texas to be near our siblings and their families. My wife and I have 3 children and 6 grandchildren. I have been a salesman and Fence installer for the last 21 years. I’m excited to work for Buzz Custom Fence and serve residential and commercial clients in Austin.
Why Do You Enjoy What You Do? My favorite part of this all is watching the fence project from the beginning to the end.
Meet Gregg Baldwin
How Did You Get Into Fencing? Hi, my name is Gregg. I was born in San Jose, California. I graduated from Fremont Christian High School. In my free time I like to hike, golf, ski, and play games. I’m new to the fencing industry, but have been involved in all types of home improvements for about 15 years.
Why Do You Enjoy What You Do? My favorite part of working with Buzz Custom Fence is helping our customers build a great product by developing the dream fence that they envisioned.

Fence Regulations in Austin, Texas
If you’re a homeowner in Austin, Texas, and you’re planning to build a fence, there are a few regulations you’ll need to be aware of. Buzz Custom Fence can help you navigate these regulations, which include:
- Permit Requirements: You’ll need to apply for a permit if your fence will be over 8 feet tall or if it will be located in a flood hazard area. The cost of the permit will depend on the total value of the project.
- Height Restrictions: Solid fences can be 6-8 feet tall. If you want a fence taller than 8 feet, it must be ornamental and have an open design with a solid-open ratio of no more than 1:4.
- Neighbor Approval: You’ll need to get approval from your adjacent neighbors before building a fence. If your land is next to city land, you’ll need to get approval from the Board of Adjustments.
Fence Repair or Replacement in South Austin
Austin weather can be fickle…or downright unpredictable. Heavy rain, hail, and massive temperature fluctuations can all take a toll on the appearance and strength of a fence. Even fences that are technically still standing may exhibit some fairly serious signs of attrition, like rotting wood, cracked vinyl, and loose or damaged pickets. If the barrier around your home or yard has definitely “seen better days,” then it’s probably time for a visit from your local Buzz fence contractor.
A question we often receive from prospective clients is, “Do I need an entirely new fence, or can I just repair the old one?” And, more often than not, we can only make a true recommendation after inspecting the current state of your fence. Minor damage can sometimes be fixed with a (relatively) simple repair, but more serious issues may necessitate a complete tear-down and rebuild. We’ll help you figure out a solution that fits your needs and your budget.
Upgrade Your Property with a Quality New Fence
If you’ve recently made certain upgrades to your home or business—including installing a swimming pool, adding extensive yard/landscaping features, or even adopting a new pet—then a change to your fence might be in order. If you have a specific safety, security, or even aesthetic concern, our contractors will be happy to offer expert advice!
At Buzz, we stand by our work. If we build you a new fence, our warranty will cover materials and labor in case of future issues. Customer satisfaction is—and always has been—our top priority.

SMITH - Austin, TX 78753
Company Screwed me over
Alex Najera - Austin, TX 78753
I hired them because I had a weak picket fence on my yard so it was really easy for my dog to break out. I called this Buzz Custom Fence Company and asked them to please help me reinforce the fence so my dog couldn't get out and to advise me. They told me they had the perfect solution. The guy was nice so I also trusted him. They charged me $1600 USD (a full paycheck for me) to put one board on the floor. Took them 30minutes, they went when I wasn't home and that is the result I found when I got home. I paid $1600 dollars for $50 worth of materials and for something I could have also done myself in 30minutes. Not only did I get ripped off after putting my trust in them and my money. But it didn;t fix my problem, my dog can still get out. When I reached out to them they tell me there is nothing they can, that is how they do things, and that pretty much I'm an idiot. Which I am for trusting them, but I thought they were a profesional serious company operating in good faith. Worst experience I have ever had with any company. Saying I do not recommend them is an understatement. They are scammers and if I could give them negative 100 stars I would. I am devastated about how they tricked me.
Response from Buzz Custom Fence:
Unfortunately a fence company can not fix dog behavior issues. We can offer suggestions that have worked for previous customers however that is in no way claiming we can fix it. We depend on the homeowners and dog owner to know and understand their animals and their behaviors. We offered to install some expanded metal to your fence for material cost only in order to offer an additional line of defense for your fence and keeping your dog safe, but your refused the offer. Your dog’s desire to eat wood pickets is and will destroy your fence not to mention put her in danger. The agreement you signed was clear as to what we were contracted to install there should have been no surprises. There is a total of 145’ of fence not just a single board. I am still happy to try and assist with your situation if you would like to contact me the manager with Buzz Fence, we didn’t grow this company with the A+ ratings doing dishonest work.
Fantastic work!
Scott C - Austin, TX 78749
Initial communication and estimate with John went very well, Everything was presented in a detailed yet easy to understand format. Crews arrived on time, worked efficiently and took great care to make sure the installation was done right. Very personable and took care to ask questions about anything they were not 100% about. Very impressed!

ESTHER - Hutto, TX 78634
Unsatisfied
RAY - Austin, TX 78741
I confirmed with the salesman that they purchased more product than needed to build my fence to include wood pockets and supplies. I stared multiple times being that I paid for said extra supplies that I want the extra supplies to remain behind when the job is done , I conveyed my wishes with the salesman directly. None of the extra material purchased was not left behind. As is typical, I can only assume my quote was so high so as for them to purchase extra materials and then use said extra materials on side jobs for themselves. will not recommend this business for fence work.
Great experience!
MARK - Austin, TX 78738
Jamelle with Buzz fence was a pleasure to work with. He was transparent and communicated with me every step of the way. He periodically stopped in to oversee the installation and made sure i was happy. They installed my fence ahead of schedule and followed up on a small item without me having to remind him the following week. I would definitely recommend Jamelle with Buzz Fence.
They did a really good job. I’ve had
