More than an acre, with water on one side
The Shores at Lake Livingston is a Polk County subdivision with a Livingston 77351 address. The lots in recent listings are on the water and run about 1.2 to 1.4 acres, and the community has its own property owners association.
A lot that size with lake frontage doesn’t need to be fenced edge to edge. Most of the planning goes into three decisions: how much yard to enclose near the house, how to treat the side lines, and whether the lake side gets an open fence, a gate to the water, or nothing at all.

Before you fence at The Shores
- POA review. We confirm the association’s current rules and prepare the submittal.
- The waterline. Waterfront work may involve TRA or POA rules. We confirm before building near the shore.
- Gates to the water. A self-closing gate on the path to the dock keeps kids and pets from wandering down unsupervised.
- Hardware for the lake. Coated metal and stainless or galvanized fasteners hold up to wind and moisture.
- Texas 811. We request locates before every dig.
POA and TRA rules can change. We verify what applies to your address before we send a quote.
Questions
Questions about fencing at The Shores
Do you serve The Shores at Lake Livingston?
Yes. Livingston is about 52 miles northeast of our office at 1135 Grand Central Pkwy in Conroe, so we schedule lake-area estimates in advance. Call or text (713) 331-9419.
Do I need POA approval?
The Shores has a property owners association. We haven’t seen its fence rules, so we verify today’s requirements for your property and prepare the drawings before quoting.
How much of an acre-plus lot should I fence?
It depends on what you need the fence to do. Many owners fence a yard near the house for pets and leave the waterfront open, or run an open metal fence across the lake side. We walk the lot with you and price a few layouts.
Can you build along the shoreline?
Lake Livingston is managed by the Trinity River Authority, so waterfront work may involve TRA or POA rules. We confirm what applies before we set posts near the water.
