How Texas Flagpole Installation Kings Installs a Flagpole

The steps

1. You send the address, the pole and photosThe height and type you want, whether you already have the pole, and photos of where it will go.
2. We check the rules for your addressWhether the city wants a permit, any height limit, and what your HOA can and cannot require.
3. We confirm the priceBefore any work starts.
4. We request the 811 locateIt marks public utility lines. Private lines such as sprinklers and landscape lighting are not marked, so point those out to us.
5. We mark the spot with youFar enough from the house, trees and lights that the flag cannot reach them, and clear of overhead lines.
6. We dig and pourA hole about a tenth of the pole's height deep, a gravel layer for drainage, and concrete around the sleeve, set plumb.
7. We raise the poleAfter the concrete has cured, usually 24 to 48 hours. On larger poles the pole is plumbed with wedges and the sleeve is filled with dry sand and capped.
8. We clean upExtra dirt and packaging leave with us.

What we need from you

• Approval of the exact spot before we dig.
• The installation sheet if you bought the pole yourself.
• A heads-up about sprinklers, invisible fencing and anything buried.
• Your HOA's approval where your community requires it.
