Easy to Repair & Maintain
Individual boards are simple and inexpensive to replace if damaged. Standard materials available at any lumber yard. Repairs can be done by homeowners or professionals. Unlike vinyl panels, you don't need to replace entire sections.
Environmentally Sustainable
Wood is a renewable, biodegradable resource. Cedar naturally resists rot without chemical treatments. Responsibly sourced from managed forests. At end of life, wood decomposes naturally unlike synthetic fencing that sits in landfills.
Increases Property Value
Quality wood fencing adds significant curb appeal and perceived value. Cedar and redwood are premium materials that buyers recognize. Well-maintained wood fencing can return 50-75% of installation cost at resale.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cedar is the top choice for wood fences due to natural rot resistance, beautiful grain, and durability (15-20 years). Pressure-treated pine is more affordable (10-15 years). Redwood offers premium aesthetics but costs more. We recommend cedar for the best balance of quality and value.
Wood fence installation costs $20-30 per linear foot installed. Cedar fences run $25-30/ft, pressure-treated pine $20-25/ft, and redwood $30-40/ft. Total cost depends on fence length, height, style, and terrain.
Cedar wood fences last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Pressure-treated pine lasts 10-15 years. Key to longevity is regular staining/sealing every 2-3 years, keeping sprinklers away from fence, and ensuring proper drainage around posts.
Staining is better for wood fences as it penetrates wood, provides UV protection, and allows wood to breathe. Paint sits on surface and can peel. Stain every 2-3 years. We recommend semi-transparent stain to show wood grain while providing protection.
Cedar naturally repels termites. Pressure-treated pine is chemically treated to resist termites and rot. We install with proper clearance from soil, use concrete footings, and recommend annual inspections. Termite damage is rare with proper installation.
