Wood Fencing: Our Bestseller ($$)
Wood remains our #1 best seller for a reason. It's affordable, versatile and enduring. It also provides a pleasant natural, rustic look that complements the local landscape. We offer two primary types of wood fences: pressure-treated pine or custom-cut cedar.
Pressure-Treated Pine
Pressure-treated pine is an exceptionally popular, value-oriented option. What is pressure treated wood? This lumber has been treated under vacuum pressure with chemical preservatives to protect it from moisture, rot, and insects, so it offers a longer lifespan and protects against pests like termites. Our installers use specially designed fasteners that resist corrosion and are designed to be used with pressure-treated wood.
Advantages:
-
Cost-Effective: Pressure-treated pine is the most budget-friendly wood fencing option, making it ideal for large properties or projects where cost is the primary consideration.
-
Durable: The chemical treatment process helps the material resist the elements while offering a lifespan of up to 20 years with proper maintenance.
-
Versatile: Pine can be stained, painted, or sealed to match any desired color while providing a custom look that enhances your home’s appearance.
​
Cedar​
​
Cedar is a premium wood fencing material known for its natural beauty and resilience. We use custom-cut cedar from a local lumber mill to provide durable, long-lasting results. It’s one of our favorite materials to install.​
Advantages:
​
-
Weather Resistance: Cedar contains natural oils and tannins. In addition to giving cedar its characteristic smell, these natural preservatives protect the wood from insects, moisture and decay.
-
Aesthetics: It has a rich, reddish-brown color that weathers beautifully to a silvery gray, offering a stunning, natural appearance without the need for stain or paint.
-
Durability: Cedar is less prone to warping or shrinking than other woods, ensuring your fence maintains its integrity over time.
Relevant Styles:
​
-
Privacy Fence: A popular choice for pools and backyards, these fences use vertical or horizontal boards placed tightly together to create a solid visual barrier.
-
Picket Fence: Ideal for a classic look, this style features evenly spaced pickets attached to a horizontal rail, perfect for containing gardens and adding charm to historic properties.
-
Split-Rail Fence: An excellent option for large, open properties, split-rail fences provide a rustic, traditional look. They can be enhanced with vinyl-coated wire to contain pets and livestock.
Aluminum Fencing: A Durable & Stylish Choice ($$$)
If you're looking for a fence system that offers exceptional durability and a sleek, elegant design, aluminum fencing is an excellent choice. It's our second most popular material and is a go-to for many applications.​
​Advantages:
​
-
Low Maintenance: Unlike wood, aluminum doesn't rot, rust or warp, ever! It never needs to be painted or stained. An occasional wash is all it takes to keep it looking like new.
-
Durability: Aluminum is strong and resists corrosion, making it perfect for our humid climate. It’s a smart choice for pool fences as it meets stringent safety requirements while providing an unobstructed view.
-
Puppy Picket: A special feature available with aluminum is the "puppy picket" option, which adds an extra horizontal rail at the bottom with smaller, close-set rails to prevent small pets from escaping.
Chain Link Fencing: A Budget-Friendly Solution ($)
​
For a highly functional and affordable fencing solution, chain link is the answer. As our #3 most popular material, it's a great option for those prioritizing security and containment on a budget. You can start with traditional galvanized chain link or upgrade to black-coated versions that blend into the landscape.​
​Advantages:
-
Affordability: Chain link fencing is the most economical choice, especially if you’re fencing in a large area.
-
Durability: Made from galvanized steel, it's incredibly strong and resistant to weathering. Maintenance requirements are minimal.
-
Versatility: Chain link is available in a variety of heights, so it’s ideal for backyard or perimeter fencing as well as commercial applications like tennis and basketball courts and dog parks.
Vinyl Fencing: A Modern & Attractive Option ($$$)
Vinyl fencing has grown in popularity due to its attractive appearance and a very low-maintenance requirements. It’s available in a variety of styles from pool-friendly privacy fences to four-rail farm fences.
Advantages:
-
Low Maintenance: Made from PVC, vinyl fences are impervious to moisture, insects and more. Apart from regular cleaning, they never need painting, staining, or sealing, so you save time and money.
-
Appearance: Vinyl provides a clean, crisp look, and fencing comes in multiple styles and colors. It's also approved by many HOAs.
-
Longevity: PVC fencing is strong and flexible, so it can withstand harsh weather and variable temperatures without warping or cracking.
Composite Fencing: The Premium, Eco-Friendly Choice ($$$$)
​
While composite fencing is less popular due to its higher upfront cost, it provides a variety of benefits. We use premium Trex brand lumber, which offers the look of wood with the durability of PVC and vinyl.
​
Advantages:
​
-
Premium Performance: Composite lumber beautifully mimics the appearance of wood while resisting insects, rot, and warping.
-
Low Maintenance: Like vinyl and aluminum, composite fencing requires no staining or painting.
