Catalina's horse properties and desert-view lots sit on some of the toughest ground in the Tucson area, and that caliche-hardpan terrain defines what fence work looks like here. When you need a ranch fence that holds up to sun, wind, and the occasional monsoon microburst, or a gate that moves smoothly year after year, Tucson Fence Company knows exactly what Catalina demands.
We've been serving Catalina (85739) and the surrounding Tucson area since 2015, and our crews understand the specific challenges of your neighborhood: the UV that fades powder coating fast, the hard digging required to set posts deep in caliche, and the need for fences and gates built to last in desert conditions. Whether you're securing acreage, screening an RV, enclosing a pool, or installing an automatic driveway gate, we do the work ourselves and stand behind it.
Fencing and Gates Built for Catalina's Desert Terrain
Catalina's low-density housing stock, expansive horse properties, and views across the foothills bring a steady demand for ranch fencing, ornamental iron, and aluminum work that can handle both the aesthetics homeowners want and the durability the desert demands. The defining local fact is caliche: that cemented hardpan layer sits shallow in many Catalina lots and makes post-hole digging slow and sometimes requires an auger or jackhammer to break through. We've done the work long enough to know how to set posts deep in concrete and space them right so they stay true. UV here is relentless too. Wood fails by splitting and loosening, not by rotting at the ground line the way it does back east. Powder-coated metal fades faster than you'd expect. We choose materials and finishes that hold color and integrity in Catalina's sun, and we install them to last.
We're AFA Member Installers (American Fence Association), fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation, and we've been doing this work in Catalina and the Tucson area since 2015. The same crews that start your job finish it.

How a Fence or Gate Job Works in Catalina
Step 1: Free On-Site Assessment. Call us at (520) 351-0669 and we'll schedule a time to walk your property, talk through what you need, and explain the work and cost. We'll discuss your HOA rules if you have them, help you understand setback and height rules that apply in your area, and make sure we're clear on the property line you want to fence. We also call 811 for a free utility locate before any digging happens, because Arizona law requires it and we follow it every time.
Step 2: The Work. Our crews show up on time, do the job right, and leave your property clean. If we're setting posts in caliche, we'll auger or jackhammer through it and set posts deep in concrete so they don't shift. We'll space posts, install rails and stringers, hang gates with hardware that moves smoothly, and finish with trim and cap work that looks right. If monsoon winds or a haboob have knocked a section flat or left a gate dragging, we'll repair or replace the damage honestly and document it so you have a record.
Step 3: Walkthrough and Cleanup. Before we leave, we walk the fence or gate with you, make sure everything works the way it should, and haul away all debris. You get a clean property and a fence or gate that will hold up.
Pricing in Catalina depends on the type of fence, the materials you choose, and what the ground demands. Ranch fencing can start as low as $12 per linear foot for basic wire and posts on acreage. Wood and privacy fences run from $27 per linear foot for pressure-treated pine up to $38 for vinyl. Ornamental aluminum and iron, popular for gates and view fencing in Catalina, start at $42 per linear foot. A simple gate repair might run $475, while a new automatic driveway gate starts around $2,800 depending on the operator and the cantilever or V-track design you choose. Post replacement, staining and restoration, and storm damage repair all vary by scope. The best way to know what a job will cost is to call us at (520) 351-0669 for a free on-site estimate. We'll look at your property, the soil, the access, and what you want to build, and give you a straight answer.
