Wood Fence Styles We Install

Privacy Wood Fences

Perfect for creating a secluded outdoor space, privacy fences are built with tightly spaced vertical boards to block visibility and reduce noise. Choose from standard dog-ear, cap and trim, board-on-board, shadowbox styles and more.

Picket Semi-Private Wood Fence

A timeless choice for front yards and gardens, wood picket fences offer charm and visibility. Ideal for defining property boundaries without closing off your view, picket fences can be customized in height, post shape, and spacing.

Rail Fence

Traditional look with several options such as rustic split rail, dimensional board rail, and wire options. Install with two, three, four, or five rails, or choose a simple post and wire fence.

Shadowbox Fences

Shadowbox fencing is a popular semi-privacy style where pickets are installed on alternating sides of the fence rails. This design allows light and airflow to pass through while still providing security and visual screening.

Cap and Trim Fences

Cap and trim fences are a decorative upgrade to traditional privacy fencing. They feature a horizontal “cap” board along the top of the fence and a trim piece that frames the pickets, giving the fence a polished, finished appearance.

Decorative Wood Fences

Make your fence a statement piece with custom decorative touches like lattice tops, scalloped edges, or post caps. We’ll help design a unique wood fence that complements your home’s architecture and landscaping.

Gate Installation

  • In most cases we recommend using cedar framing and 4×6 hinge posts for added stability and longevity for our gates. 
  • Most gates are custom made onsite and can be a variety of sizes. 
  • Can offer a variety of hinge and latch systems. Our “go-to” is a heavy duty 8in black hinge with dual locking latch with options to lock from both inside and out. Depending on the type of fence and gate, we may use strap, tee, or butterfly hinges along with standard slide bolts. 
  • Ask about our metal framed gates for improved longevity.

Pressure Treated vs Cedar

  • Pressure treated is generally more budget friendly, treated to withstand moisture, insects, and fungal decay. However, it can have a greenish tint at installation, tends to discolor if not sealed, and more susceptible to natural cracking, warping and twisting. PT is also chemically treated.
  • Cedar tends to be more expensive and is naturally less susceptible to insects and decay. Cedar also presents better at installation and although all wood can twist, crack and warp over time, cedar does this less due to not being treated / wet when installed.
  • A cedar picket fence with cedar rails, installed on PT posts offers the best of both.
