Wood Fence Styles We Build
-6’ Wood Privacy Fences
Our most popular option for backyard privacy. Built with 5/8” pine pickets and tight, clean spacing for full visual screening.
-Shadowbox / Board-on-Board Fences
An upgraded privacy fence style that looks good from both sides and offers added strength and depth.
-Ranch / 3-Rail Fencing
Ideal for larger properties and open spaces. Installed with screws for added rigidity and long-term durability.
Each fence is custom laid out to match your property lines, grade changes, and gate needs.

5/8” pine pickets for strength and appearance
