Boyd Fence & Welding provides concrete work and curbing services to complement our fencing projects in Abilene, Texas. In many fence installations, quality concrete work is essential, and our crew has the expertise to handle it. We pour concrete footings for fence posts and gate posts, ensuring your fence has a solid foundation anchored in the West Texas soil. Additionally, we offer concrete curbing (also known as mow strips or ribbon curbs) along the base of fences. A concrete mow strip is a narrow strip of concrete installed directly under the fence line, running along the length of the fence. This serves multiple purposes: it creates a neat, level barrier that prevents grass and weeds from growing up under the fence, and it keeps wooden fence pickets off the ground to help prevent rot and moisture damage. Homeowners love curbing because it also makes lawn maintenance easier, you can mow right up to the edge of the fence without needing to trim grass by hand.

Our team builds these concrete curbs on-site by trenching a shallow footing under the fence line and pouring a continuous concrete base, often reinforced with rebar for stability. The result is a clean look and extended lifespan of the fence. Beyond curbing, we can also handle small concrete pads and installations related to your fencing needs, such as concrete slabs for automatic gate operator equipment, gate hinge pillars, or transitions under gates. If your project requires custom concrete work, like setting metal posts in concrete, creating short retaining curbs, or repairing an existing concrete footer, we have you covered. We ensure the entire project is done to our high standards.
