Cedar is known for its strength, density, and natural resistance to decay. This premium material supports custom fence designs, showcases rich grain detail, and delivers long-term performance that enhances privacy, curb appeal, and long-term value for your property.
Wood fence height options range from shorter decorative styles to taller panels that enhance privacy and define boundaries.
Taller wood fences block views, reduce outside noise, and protect pets and children, while shorter fences frame gardens, guide walkways, and add unique charm without closing off your yard.

Our wood fences feature premium posts, pickets, and rails that work together to create a lasting barrier. Every feature amplifies the overall value of your fence while enhancing your property's curb appeal.
We use steel PostMaster posts set in concrete footings to create a solid foundation. These posts are then concealed behind wood pickets, so you get the look of a traditional wood fence with the strength of engineered steel.
Wood fence pickets establish your fence's appearance and level of privacy while contributing to overall strength. Quality cedar pickets and framing create a uniform look, enhance security, and help the fence withstand everyday weather conditions.
Rails connect the posts and pickets, giving the fence its structure and alignment. Properly installed rails reduce sagging and twisting and help the fence maintain a clean, even profile.
