Locate posts with access and underground services in mind.
A Spicewood fence can need to accommodate a driveway, a landscape maintenance route and pedestrian use along the same boundary. Begin with the survey and gate dimensions, then mark the path of each opening. Texas811 is a starting point for excavation coordination before post holes; privately owned lines may require separate identification.
List known irrigation, lighting and other underground routes, and clarify access to locate them. On sloping sections, compare stepped panels with a layout that follows the ground. Confirm applicable local and association requirements for the address. A commercial enclosure may also need a temporary access plan while an existing fence is removed and the replacement is installed.
