Cedar and pressure-treated privacy, picket, split-rail and board-on-board fences built for your yard.
Fencing
Wood is the classic choice for privacy and picket fences, and it can be built in almost any style and height local rules allow. Cedar naturally resists rot and weathers to a soft gray. Pressure-treated pine is sturdy and usually costs less, and it's often used for the posts even when the boards are cedar.
A wood fence lasts longest when the posts are set deep and solid, the boards are fastened with corrosion-resistant hardware, and the wood is stained or sealed once it has had time to dry. Built that way, a wood fence can be repaired board by board for years.
How it works
Fence type, rough length and height, the gates you need and your address. A photo or a quick sketch of the yard helps.
The fence line is measured and walked with you: corners, gates, slopes, trees and anything in the way, plus property lines and city or HOA rules.
You get a quote that spells out the materials, height, length, gates and how the posts will be set, so it's easy to compare.
Underground lines are marked through 811 before digging, then posts are set and panels, rails and gates go up. The site is cleaned up when the work is done.

FAQ
Cedar resists rot and insects naturally, stays straighter and weathers to a silver-gray if left unstained. Pressure-treated pine is strong and usually costs less, but it's more prone to shrinking, warping and cracking as it dries. Many fences combine the two: treated posts with cedar boards.
With well-set posts and regular staining or sealing, a cedar fence commonly lasts 15 to 20 years or more, treated pine somewhat less. Wet soil, sprinklers hitting the boards and skipped maintenance shorten that.
New wood, especially pressure-treated lumber, needs to dry before it takes stain well, often a few weeks to a few months depending on the weather. A simple test: sprinkle water on the boards. If it soaks in, the wood is ready; if it beads up, wait a little longer.
