Cedar vs Pine: Choosing Your Wood

The two most popular wood types in our area are cedar and pine, and each has its advantages. Cedar is naturally resistant to rot, insects, and decay, which means it lasts longer with less maintenance. It has a beautiful natural color that ages to an attractive silver-gray if left unstained.

Pine is more budget-friendly and works great when treated and stained properly. Many homeowners choose treated pine for new fence installations because it offers excellent value and can last 15 to 20 years with proper care. We can help you decide which wood type best fits your budget and expectations.

Maintaining Your Wood Fence

Wood fences need some maintenance to keep them looking great and lasting long. The good news is that maintaining a wood fence is straightforward. We recommend staining or sealing your fence every two to three years to protect it from sun and moisture damage.

Regular inspections help catch small problems before they become big repairs. Check for loose boards, rusted nails, or signs of rot, especially after heavy storms. If you notice damage, our fence repair services can fix issues quickly before they spread.

We install all our wood fences using galvanized or stainless steel hardware that resists rust. Posts are set in concrete at the proper depth to prevent leaning and shifting. This professional installation approach means your fence starts strong and stays strong for years to come.
