About This Fence Style
Horizontal boards create a modern aesthetic, and Cedar or Redwood help ensure durability through natural rot- and decay-resistance. Pressure-Treated Pine remains a value-friendly entry point for this look, and stain or paint opens up bold or warm design directions. Board width variations add visual interest.
Maintenance & Care
Wood fences benefit from annual cleaning and staining or sealing every 2–3 years. Inspect regularly for loose boards or damage, and avoid prolonged moisture exposure by keeping sprinklers and irrigation directed away from the fence. With proper care, wood fences can last 15–20+ years.

I needed privacy fences on two sides of my property and the project was done to my specific requests in a matter of a few shorts weeks.”

“The installation team did an exceptionally good job on the removal & installation of my new cedar fence. The team worked in tandem with each other to complete the installation as scheduled. They made sure to keep my yard clear of any equipment as they installed my fence.”

“Jennie was our project manager. She communicated with me and made sure all was completed as planned. The 2 installers were amazing. So professional, doing an excellent job and getting every detail right. They cleaned up, asked me for verification of questions and completed the project beautifully. I would recommend Ergeon company for all projects they handle. True customer service and quality work.”
