Wood Fences

Why Wood Fences Are Still Number One

Nothing beats the look of a real wood fence. You get that natural warmth and classic style that makes your property feel like home. Wood fences have been the go-to choice for generations because they work for almost any home style, from modern to traditional. Plus, you can paint or stain them any color you want, so your fence fits your exact vision.

Here in Wilson, wood fences are popular because they give you complete privacy and look great doing it. Your neighbors do not need to see your backyard barbecue, and you do not need to see theirs. Wood also helps block noise and wind better than open-style fences. When you work with our experienced team, you get a fence built right that lasts for years. We use pressure-treated lumber that stands up to North Carolina weather, and we build every fence like it is going on our own property.

Popular Wood Fence Styles

Wood fences come in more styles than most people realize. Your choice depends on what you need the fence to do and how you want it to look. Here are the styles we install most often:

• •Privacy fences with boards touching for complete seclusion
• •Shadowbox fences that look good from both sides
• •Picket fences for that classic front yard look
• •Split rail fences for a rustic, open feel
• •Horizontal board fences for a modern, contemporary look
• •Lattice-top fences that add style while keeping privacy

Not sure which style fits your home? We will walk you through the options and help you pick what works best for your yard and budget.

Taking Care of Your Wood Fence

Wood fences need some attention to keep them looking good and lasting long. The good news is that maintenance is pretty simple. You should reseal or restain your fence every 2-3 years to protect it from moisture and sun damage. A quick inspection each spring helps you catch small problems before they become big ones.

Keep plants and sprinklers away from your fence since constant moisture causes rot. Trim back any vines or bushes touching the wood. If you spot a damaged board or loose post, get it fixed fast. Our fence repair services handle everything from minor fixes to major damage. With basic care, your wood fence can last 20 years or more. If you are looking for a lower-maintenance option, vinyl fences might be worth considering.
