Wood fences give a property the classic look many homeowners want. They are versatile too, working as a privacy screen, a property boundary, or a decorative feature that frames your landscape. Sizes and styles vary widely, and because each fence is custom built on site, no two are exactly alike. You can paint or stain a wood fence, or leave it raw to show the natural color of the wood. Staining is a smart move in Florida, since it helps the wood shed our heat, sun, and rain and last longer. Pine, cedar, and redwood are the usual choices, and picking one mostly comes down to your look and budget. Our fence experts are happy to walk you through the options.
Every wood fence we install is custom built on site from pressure treated YellaWood, which stands up to Florida moisture and insects. Wood has a shorter lifespan than vinyl or aluminum, so how it goes together matters even more here. We fasten each fence with hot dipped galvanized ring shank nails. The galvanized coating handles salty coastal air, and the ring shank design keeps the nails from backing out as the wood swells and shrinks through our wet and dry seasons. The real strength, though, starts underground. We set every post in a concrete footer so it holds level in loose, sandy soil and does not lean or topple during a summer storm. For homes in windy coastal spots, we can recommend styles built for better wind resistance. Staining is a smart add on too, because it helps the wood shed sun and rain and adds years to its life.

A full privacy wood fence is one of the best ways to close off a backyard for your family, your dogs, and your quiet. Height and hardware do the heavy lifting. We hang gates so they swing to pull shut rather than push open, add self closing hinges so the gate closes on its own, and set latches up high where small children cannot reach them. Those small choices are what actually keep a dog in the yard and a toddler away from the pool. Wood also leaves room to personalize, whether that is a lattice top for a little style or a taller panel where you want more seclusion. We build to the look you want without cutting corners on the parts that keep everyone safe. A privacy fence should feel private and hold up for years, not just look good on install day.
