About Viking Fence & Cedar · Dallas
Viking Fence & Cedar is the Dallas/Fort Worth branch of Viking Fence Company, a Texas-based fencing firm that has been operating continuously since 1972. The Dallas office, located at 4925 Greenville Ave, Suite 200, supplies commercial-grade fencing materials (cedar, chain link, wrought iron, galvanized pipe, pre-stained cedar, gate operators) and handles commercial fence installation and temporary fence rental across DFW and the broader Texas market. The company is distinctive for owning and operating its own in-house Cedar Remanufacturing facility and a custom iron/structural steel fabrication division, allowing it to control quality end-to-end rather than subcontracting out projects.
Viking Fence traces its roots to 1972 in Texas, and the Dallas–Fort Worth operation is one of two flagship branches alongside Austin. While the Austin office serves both residential and commercial customers, the Dallas branch has long focused on commercial fence installation, large-scale temporary fence rentals for construction sites and events, access-control gates, and building-material sales to contractors. The company touts more than 160 years of combined sales-contractor experience and over 300 years of combined erector/crew experience, and operates one of the only in-house cedar remanufacturing and custom iron fabrication shops among Texas fence contractors. Customers include general contractors, business owners, parks, event organizers and (in Austin) homeowners across Texas, with active projects in Houston, San Antonio, Abilene, Laredo and Del Rio in addition to DFW. In February 2023, Dallas-based private equity firm Crossplane Capital took a controlling stake in Viking Fence, and in late 2023 Viking acquired Hook-N-Haul Dumpers to broaden its site-services offering. The company is bonded and insured, warranties all work and materials, and holds active memberships in the American Fence Association, Better Business Bureau (A+ rating), North American Wholesale Lumber Association, Central Texas Subcontractors Association, Greater Austin Home Builders Association and the U.S. Hispanic Contractors Association.

History and Company Background
Viking Fence has been operating continuously in Texas since 1972, making it one of the longest-tenured fencing firms in the state. The company currently runs two flagship branches — Austin and Dallas/Fort Worth — and has expanded its commercial project footprint to Houston, San Antonio, Abilene, Laredo and Del Rio. In Austin, Viking serves both residential and commercial customers; the Dallas branch is primarily a commercial fence contractor and building-materials supplier. In February 2023, Crossplane Capital, a Dallas-based private equity firm, announced an equity investment and took a controlling stake in the company. In November 2023, Viking acquired Hook-N-Haul Dumpers, extending its site-services line beyond fencing.
- Founded in Texas in 1972
- Branches in Austin and Dallas/Fort Worth

Mission, Values and Approach
The company's mission statement is: 'Provide quality products and services to general contractors, business owners, and homeowners throughout Texas, so they can safeguard what matters most.' Viking's stated values are Customer First, Quality Without Compromise, Safeguard What Matters, Follow Through to Completion, and We Win Together, We Learn Together. A defining structural feature of the business is that estimators own each project from first estimate through final walk-through — there is no separate production department handing projects off — and installation crews report directly to those estimators, supported by a dedicated Quality Control division.
- Estimators own projects A-to-Z (no subcontract handoffs)
- Dedicated Quality Control division
- Bonded, insured, and warranty-backed
Cedar Fence Supply and the In-House Remanufacturing Facility
Viking is the only Texas fence company that owns and operates its own lumber mill and cedar remanufacturing facility, producing Western Red Cedar fencing materials in-house. Western Red Cedar is positioned as the gold standard for wood fencing because of its dimensional stability, decay resistance, natural beauty and minimal carbon footprint. The mill allows Viking to control grading, drying and finishing — including factory pre-staining — before the product reaches a job site.
- Select Grade — 5/4" board (1" thick), appearance grade, smooth on all four sides, custom order
- Select #2 Grade — 3/4" thick, graded for tight knots with no holes
- Select #3 Grade — 3/4" thick Economy/Builder's grade, rustic appearance
- Pre-stained fence Dallas option available
- Occasional availability of inland cedar and incense cedar

Commercial Permanent Fence Installation
The Dallas branch specializes in commercial fence installation across the DFW metroplex and surrounding counties. Projects range from securing commercial properties and outlining parks to large industrial and institutional jobs. The team emphasizes that it does not pass contracts to outside subcontractors — the same estimator and crew handle the project from start to finish. The Dallas branch, however, does not currently handle residential installations, and the company refers those inquiries to trusted local partners.
