Precast Concrete
-
What does 'precast' mean?
Precast means that the concrete is poured into a reusable mold in a factory in a controlled environment. It is then cured, the molds are removed, and then the product can be shipped to the site. Unlike concrete that is poured on-site, precast concrete does not have the risk of improper curing. All precast concrete fence products used by Hilltop Concrete are precision manufactured in Texas and shipped to each jobsite as needed
-
What type of maintenance is required?
Precast concrete fences are virtually maintenance-free! Being made from concrete means that you never have to worry about the impact of the elements that may cause another material to fade, warp, or require replacement.
-
How long will a precast concrete fence last?
Precast concrete fences can withstand the test of time! A precast concrete fence can offer 30+ maintenance-free years and will still look as good as the day it was installed!

Boring gray concrete is a thing of the past. Hilltop Concrete has a variety of patterns available, including StackedStone, OldBrick, ChiselStone, and RanchRail to accomplish your project goals. Once installed, the fence can be painted any color to suit your needs. Our panels are also finished on both sides, meaning both sides of your fence will look great.

Can I purchase the products and install myself?

-
How easy are the precast fences to install?
Because the components are precast, installation is faster and easier than dealing with site poured concrete. This means delivery of a product that is ready to be assembled resulting in the need for less onsite labor and provides for a more controlled and efficient construction site.
-
Can the fence be repaired if damaged?
Absolutely. Although precast concrete fences are extremely durable, accidents do happen. Since our fences are modular, repairs only have to be made to the damaged section, saving time, money, and resources.
