Popular Styles We Build
Board-on-Board (Best for Full Privacy)
Overlapping pickets eliminate gaps as boards season over time. Great for maximum privacy and a premium look.
Highlights: Excellent privacy, reduces warping visibility, ideal for 6′ or 8′ heights.
Upgrade options: Cap & trim, steel posts, kickboard/rot board.
Horizontal (Modern, Clean Lines)
Wide or narrow horizontal runs create a sleek, contemporary profile that pairs well with steel frames and upgraded gates.
Highlights: Designer look, works well on sloped lots with stepped layout.
Upgrade options: Hidden fasteners, steel posts, cap board.
Shadowbox (Good Privacy + Airflow)
Alternating pickets on each side of the rail create a semi-private screen that breathes and looks finished from both yards.
Highlights: Neighbor-friendly, less wind load than solid styles.
Best for: Side yards where airflow matters.
Cap & Trim (Finished, Premium Topline)
A decorative “cap” board across the top and vertical “trim” pieces at the edges create a polished, custom finish you’ll notice from the street.
Works with: Board-on-board, horizontal, and classic privacy builds.
Dog-Ear (Classic + Budget-Friendly)
Angled picket tops deliver a timeless look at a great value. Easy to maintain and perfect for long runs.
Best for: Standard 6′ or HOA-friendly 8′ privacy fences.
Materials & Components
Cedar vs. Pressure-Treated Pine
- Cedar: Beautiful grain, naturally rot-resistant, more dimensionally stable. Premium look with longer life when maintained.
- Pressure-Treated Pine: Budget-friendly and strong; takes stain well. Expect more movement than cedar pickets.
Posts: Wood or Steel
- Steel Posts: Highest durability and rot resistance; great for long-term performance.
- Wood Posts: Economical and cohesive all-wood look when that’s preferred.
Heights: 6′ and 8′
- 6-Foot Privacy: Most common; balances privacy and cost.
- 8-Foot Privacy: Extra screening and wind buffering; often used along busy streets or tall neighboring homes.
Gates & Hardware
Walk and driveway gates with wood or steel frames, self-closing hinges, heavy-duty latches, keypad/lock options, and smooth swing alignment.
Staining & Sealing
Fence staining and sealing protects against UV and rain, enhances color, and extends life. New builds typically stain after a short dry-out period. Maintenance: every 2–4 years depending on tone, sun exposure, and irrigation.
