It depends on the material and the size of the job. As of October 2026, Angi reports the average Phoenix-area fence project at about $2,000, with most between about $1,150 and $2,950, or roughly $17 to $39 a linear foot. Block walls cost more; HomeAdvisor's national range is about $10 to $30 per square foot of wall.

How do I budget a block wall?
Block is priced by area, so multiply the length by the height. Say you need 90 feet of wall at 6 feet tall: that's 540 square feet. At $10 to $30 a square foot, you're looking at about $5,400 to $16,200 before gates or tearing out an old fence. That's simple math on a national range, not our price.
What makes a Glendale fence cost more?
- Hard ground. Caliche slows every post hole and footing. Angi says Phoenix-area jobs often trend higher partly for that reason.
- Tear-out. HomeAdvisor puts demolition of an existing structure at about $5 to $25 a linear foot.
- Gates. A wide RV gate with heavy posts is a big line item on its own.
- Pool hardware. Self-closing hinges, high latches and permit fees add up.
- HOA finishes. A required stucco texture or paint color costs more than bare block.
- Permits. Angi suggests budgeting at least $300 for permit and plan review fees where a permit is needed.
So where will I land?
You'll be near the bottom of the range if the run is short and straight, the ground digs easily and there's nothing to tear out. You'll be near the top with block or custom iron, caliche, a wide gate or a pool barrier. We measure, then give you a written, itemized quote so you can compare apples to apples.
