How does Green Fence Texas work?
Green Fence Texas is a browser-based quote planner for living privacy fences on Texas properties. You enter your address, draw your privacy line on a satellite map, customize evergreen plants and spacing, compare 3-gallon, 5-gallon, and 15-gallon options, and submit an estimate for team review. There is no app download required — it works on your phone, tablet, or desktop.
Do I need to schedule a visit before I can get a quote?
No. You can start online right away by mapping your privacy plan and submitting an estimate. Our team reviews your submitted plan and may follow up with questions or a site visit if needed before sending a final quote for approval.
Is the online quote a final price?
No. Your online total is an estimate pending final review. Your final quote will be reviewed by our team before approval. Pricing may be adjusted based on access, site conditions, plant availability, and selected add-ons.
What happens after I submit my quote request?
Our team reviews your mapped privacy plan, plant selections, spacing, and project details. We may contact you with clarifying questions or suggested adjustments. Once reviewed, you receive a final quote for approval before any payment is collected.
30-Day Coverage
Every installed plant is covered for the first 30 days after installation.
- Plants arrive and are installed in healthy, nursery-grade condition.
- If a plant fails within 30 days due to plant quality or installation-related issues, Green Fence Texas will replace it or provide a credit toward a replacement.
- We will inspect the site and confirm eligibility before any replacement.
After 30 days, long-term survival and growth depend on watering, weather, drainage, soil, sunlight, pests, animals, heat/freeze events, and ongoing care — those factors are not covered by this limited 30-day establishment coverage.
Contact us promptly if you notice a plant struggling during the first 30 days so we can help while the coverage applies.
Your final quote will be reviewed by our team before approval.
Growth timelines are estimates and depend on plant variety, spacing, site conditions, weather, watering, and care.
