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.
Customer Reviews
"I am supremely happy with the prompt, efficient and highly professional fence installation! I was particularly impressed by the virtual mock up and how the team communicated regularly and with such a high degree of thoroughness. 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."
"The crew did a fantastic job. Craftsmanship was excellent. My new fence looks better than I imagined. Good work, fair price, no issues."
