Serving Big Spring, TX and surrounding areas. (432) 263-5703
QC Big Spring Fence is a fence contractor serving Forsan, TX and the surrounding Howard County rural area - specializing in farm and ranch fencing, wood privacy fences, and chain link for residential and acreage properties. We have worked in this area since 2015, and we know the soil, the wind, and what it takes to build a fence that stays standing out here.
Forsan sits in the middle of Permian Basin ranch country, and properties here range from in-town lots to multi-acre working land. We install barbed wire, net wire, and pipe fencing built for years of hard use in this dry, high-UV environment. See all the options available with our farm and ranch fencing services.
Most homes in Forsan were built during the mid-century oil boom, and many of those original fences have reached the end of their life. Wood is the most common choice for a yard replacement - it looks right on these older properties and, when properly sealed, holds up well to the dry Permian Basin climate.
For Forsan properties with larger lots and outbuildings, chain link gives you a cost-effective way to secure a perimeter without the maintenance demands of wood. Heavy-gauge mesh with posts set deep in concrete stands up to the spring wind and dust storms common in this part of Howard County.
Forsan properties are open - the flat terrain means your backyard is visible to neighbors and passing traffic without a solid fence. A privacy fence changes that, giving you a real outdoor space that feels separated from the road. We build them with post depth and bracing rated for the local wind conditions.
Older homes in Forsan often have fences that have taken years of wind damage and post movement from shifting soils. If your fence is leaning, has loose sections, or has posts that have heaved out of the ground, we can often repair rather than replace - at a fraction of full replacement cost.
On the open rural lots around Forsan, keeping dogs contained is a real need - there is a lot of open ground for a determined dog to cover. We install purpose-built pet fencing with dig guards and latch hardware designed for animals that are serious about finding a way out.
Forsan is genuine Permian Basin ranch country - the same geological conditions that put oil underground make the surface soil a challenge for anyone setting fence posts. Caliche, the hard calcium carbonate layer that sits a few inches below the surface in much of Howard County, can stop a standard post-hole digger cold. Contractors who have not worked out here before find out the hard way. Getting a fence post deep enough to resist West Texas spring wind requires breaking through that layer, and that takes the right equipment and experience.
The climate here adds to the challenge. Forsan averages more than 100 days above 90 degrees Fahrenheit per year, with low humidity that dries out wood fast and causes caulk and sealant to fail in a single season if the wrong products are used. Severe thunderstorms and hail events hit Howard County in spring and summer, and the open terrain around Forsan means fences take those gusts without the protection of buildings or tree cover nearby. Homes here were mostly built between the 1940s and 1970s, meaning original fencing on many properties is decades overdue for replacement.
Our crew has worked throughout Howard County since 2015, and Forsan properties are a regular part of that work. The combination of in-town residential lots near the school and larger rural parcels further out means we are comfortable with both a standard yard fence and a longer perimeter run on acreage. We know the roads out here and we do not charge extra to make the drive south of Big Spring.
Forsan is about 12 miles south of Big Spring on Highway 87, and the Forsan ISD campus is the most visible landmark in town. Most properties we work on are single-family homes on individual lots or rural residential parcels with a shop or outbuilding. We also serve working ranch land in the surrounding area where the fencing needs are completely different from an in-town job - longer runs, agricultural wire, and gate hardware built for regular use.
We also serve homeowners in Coahoma and Big Spring, so if you have a property that spans two communities or a family member nearby who needs the same work done, one call handles it.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form and we will get back to you within one business day. We schedule estimates for Forsan and Howard County properties at times that work for you - no waiting weeks to get someone out.
We walk the property with you, check the soil conditions, and talk through options before writing up a detailed quote. The written quote covers material, labor, post depth, and any cost adjustments for caliche or difficult soil - no surprises on the invoice.
We handle all installation work, including breaking through caliche when needed and setting posts in concrete. Most residential jobs in Forsan are done in one to two days. You do not need to be on-site the whole time, but we do a walk-through with you at the end.
We walk the completed fence with you before we leave. Concrete needs 24 to 48 hours to fully cure, and we will let you know when the fence is ready for normal use. Any questions after the job are answered - we are local and easy to reach.

(432) 263-5703Forsan is a small community of roughly 200 to 250 residents in Howard County, located about 12 miles south of Big Spring along Highway 87. The town takes its name from "for sand" - a reference to the oil-bearing sand formations that made this part of the Permian Basin so valuable to the energy industry. Most of Forsan's housing stock was built during the mid-20th century oil boom, and the community has a high rate of owner-occupied homes. Properties here tend to sit on larger lots than you would find in a city, with outbuildings, carports, and open yard space common. Forsan, Texas is part of the Big Spring micropolitan statistical area and closely connected to the county seat.
Forsan ISD anchors community life here, and the school is within walking distance of most in-town properties. The surrounding land transitions quickly from residential to open ranch and agricultural use, which is why farm and ranch fencing is one of the most common requests we receive from this area. Nearby communities we also serve include Stanton to the west and Coahoma to the northeast - both are easy drives from Forsan if you need work done at multiple locations.
