Mind Ya Business, Y’all: Privacy Screens That Block the Drama

We love our neighbors in Central Texas, but sometimes you just need to enjoy your porch margarita without an audience. Whether you’re shielding your hot tub from nosy Nellies or building a breezy escape in your Round Rock backyard, privacy screens are the answer.

Here’s how to keep the good vibes in-and the weird stares out.

Top 4 Privacy Screen Ideas for Texas Yards

Horizontal Cedar Slats

  • Best For: Clean, modern look in places like Leander or Pflugerville
  • Pros: Stylish, durable, and matches well with most fence builds
  • Cons: Gaps = light and breeze, but may not block everything

Decorative Metal Panels

  • Best For: Garden zones and artistic backdrops
  • Pros: Adds texture and visual flair (hello, Pinterest!)
  • Cons: Less coverage than wood if you’re blocking sightlines

Lattice with Climbing Vines

  • Best For: Boho vibes and natural privacy in shady corners
  • Pros: Affordable and great for pollinators
  • Cons: Takes time for full plant coverage

Board-on-Board Wood Screens

  • Best For: Full-privacy barriers (aka no peeking)
  • Pros: Overlapping boards offer complete coverage
  • Cons: Less airflow, more material cost—but worth it

Where They Work Best (Central + South Austin Edition)

Whether you’ve got a funky bungalow in Zilker, a new build in Easton Park, or a family-friendly lot in Circle C Ranch, privacy screens are a stylish way to keep your outdoor space your space.

  • Zilker + Travis Heights: Add architectural appeal and block out foot traffic near SoCo—because your hammock nap isn’t a community event.
  • South Manchaca (SoMa): Great for smaller yards where fences can feel overbearing. Privacy screens give shade and solitude without closing things off.
  • Buda + Kyle: Perfect for growing families who want a bit more separation between play zones and neighbor visibility.
  • Easton Park: Modern metal screens or mixed-material styles match the neighborhood’s vibe and HOA expectations.
  • Circle C Ranch: Screens around patios, pools, or gardens offer elegance and functionality—without disrupting your corner-lot curb appeal.

Pro Tip:

Add a shade structure, string lights, or tall planters and suddenly your screen feels like a resort feature. Fence screen, who?

Privacy is a vibe

Reb’s Roundup – Backyard Boundaries, the Classy Way

Reb’s ready to help you block the noise and book your estimate in style. Whether it’s a fence, deck, or screen—this little longhorn’s got your back.

Hey y’all, it’s Reb-and I’ve got opinions on fences and feelings.

Too many folks think a privacy screen means throwing up a boring ol’ wall. But not in Texas. Here, we do it with style. Whether you’re hiding from a neighbor’s yappy dog or just want a shady little reading nook, we’ve got designs that do both.

Plus, y’know, a little mystery in the backyard never hurt anybody. Especially if you’re trying to hide that wonky trampoline from 2006.

Catch ya out back,

Some wins show up on a scoreboard.
Some wins walk beside you in a parking lot after the game. ❤️

Wednesday evening was both.

🏀
A buzzer beater in overtime. 
Old friends on the other bench.
A former school.
Big emotions. Bigger memories.

But as we walked back to the car, what stood out most wasn’t the shot, it was this view. 💕

Little hands. Growing kids. Tired legs. Full hearts.
This is our why.

Family is the reason we work long days.
It’s why we build something of our own.
It’s why we care about doing things the right way, with character, work ethic, and pride in every detail, because the people walking beside us are watching.

At Trinity, we’re not just building fences and decks.
We’re building a future for these kiddos.
We’re building security, opportunity, and something our kids can be proud of someday. After all, they’ve grown up in fence culture. 

Moments like this remind us.
The real victory isn’t just the game.
It’s getting to walk through life together.

This is who we work for. Always. ❤️

Two weeks old and already the calm (and balm for the soul) in the middle of a very full season 💕

With this frigid weather keeping everyone home, life has slowed down just enough to soak in moments like this. A brand new sleeping grandbaby, kids home from school for an extra day (or two!), schedules paused for a second - and a reminder that even in the busiest, most stretched seasons… these are the moments that matter.

Right now we’re balancing a lot.
Starting a new business together.
Kids across multiple schools.
Sports seasons, practices, pickups, drop-offs, games, tournaments, senior year, kinder year.
And walking through a season that’s asked more of us than we ever expected.
Real life. Real responsibility.

Some seasons refine you. They stretch you, grow you, and teach you what you’re really made of. And in the middle of it all, we’re choosing to build our business the same way we build our family - with honesty, integrity, and hard work.

Because one day these little ones will look back and see how we handled the hard seasons. That example matters more than anything we could ever build. It’s an absolute privilege to be able to work alongside my husband, one of the most hardworking men I’ve ever known.

And this sweet girl? She is just one of the many reasons behind every long day and every step forward. And holding her reminds me we’re right where we’re meant to be. 💛

🥶 CENTRAL TEXAS COLD SNAP 🦌

If Buckley Joe is out here… it’s officially TOO cold.

Meet Buckley Joe - local stag, part-time fence inspector, full-time “shouldn’t be outside right now” representative.

Georgetown, Austin, and all of Central Texas are dealing with:
❄️ Freezing temps
🌬️ Brutal wind chill
🌨️ Icy conditions moving in

Even Buckley Joe looks like he’s questioning his life choices.

It’s too late for big prep - now it’s about staying safe.

🏠 Best plan? Stay home if you can.
Warmth > errands
Safety > schedules

🚗 If you have to go out:
• Drive slow and leave extra stopping room
• Watch bridges & overpasses for black ice
• Keep blankets and a phone charger in your vehicle

Your fence and deck are built Texas-tough…
but this weather still deserves respect.

Take a cue from Buckley Joe - find shelter and ride it out.

We broke down why timing matters, how to prep your fence, and what to watch for so your stain lasts longer and performs better.

⏳ 2 weeks is standard. 4 weeks is JANUARY. 📆

Most fence and deck quotes expire in 14 days.
👉 All January long, we’re extending ours to FOUR full weeks.

That means:
✅ More time to review
💰 More time to budget
🗓️ More time to plan-without pressure

If a fence or deck is on your list this year, January is the smartest time to get your numbers locked in.

💫Because you trusted us our first year.💫

Thank you. Truly. For the calls, the conversations, the trust, and the chance to build something meaningful-one project at a time.

This year was about more than fences and gates. It was about building a business from the ground up. Every process, every workflow, every decision was created intentionally and independently-our own systems, our own standards, our own way of doing things. We showed up focused on clarity, craftsmanship, and care, and we let the work speak for itself.

It hasn’t always been easy, but it has always been 100% honest. And because you trusted us-our work, our word, and our values-we’re closing out year one proud of what we built and how we built it.

From our family to yours, thank you for being part of this first chapter.

Here’s to the year ahead. ✨
