Wood Fencing

With proper maintenance, a wood fence can last 15-20 years or more. Cedar tends to last longer due to its natural rot resistance, while pressure-treated pine offers excellent durability at a lower cost. Regular staining or sealing is key to maximizing lifespan.

Pressure-treated pine is more budget-friendly and works great when stained or painted. Cedar costs more but offers natural beauty, natural rot resistance, and ages to an attractive silver-gray if left unstained. Both are excellent choices depending on your priorities and budget.

We recommend waiting 4-6 weeks before staining a new wood fence. This allows the wood to dry out and better absorb the stain. Staining too early can result in poor adhesion and uneven coverage.

Wood fencing requires periodic maintenance including staining or sealing every 2-3 years, annual inspections for damage, occasional cleaning, and prompt repairs. While it requires more upkeep than vinyl or aluminum, many homeowners feel the natural beauty is worth the effort.

Yes! Wood fencing can be installed using either a stepped (stair-step) method or a racked (following the slope) method depending on the terrain and fence style. Our team will assess your property and recommend the best approach.

Privacy fencing uses solid board-to-board construction with no gaps. Shadowbox features alternating boards on each side, creating small gaps that allow airflow while still providing privacy. Shadowbox is a great choice for windy areas.
