Wood Fencing with DJ Fence & Gate

Choose the details you’ll see every day.

Wood fencing gives you several ways to define a yard, from a solid privacy line to a more open picket or shadowbox design. We’ll help you compare the look you want with the layout and access your property needs.

The estimate should make the construction clear: material selection, height, style, post layout, gate openings, and the work included around an existing fence. If you have an HOA-approved design, bring it with you rather than relying on a similar-looking photo.

For an existing wood fence, we can discuss repairs before replacement. A damaged board and a failing support are not the same problem. We’ll look at the condition of the surrounding fence and explain what a targeted repair would involve.

The details that matter

What we can help with.

01

Privacy fencing

Discuss the areas you want screened and how the fence will look from inside and outside the yard.

02

Shadowbox & picket styles

Explore a more open layout where a defined boundary is the goal rather than a solid visual screen.

03

Cap-and-trim details

Review finishing details and how they carry through corners, transitions, and gate openings.

04

Wood fence repairs

Assess damaged boards, rails, posts, and gates with the rest of the fence in view.

Start with the look you like, then compare privacy, access, care and the needs of your property.

A closer look

Know what goes into the installation.

Pressure-treated pine, cedar and the supporting frame

Ask us to compare pressure-treated pine and cedar for the selected design and current availability. The estimate should identify the lumber, boards, rails and posts rather than describe everything simply as a wood fence. Steel-post options can also be discussed when you want a wood appearance with a different support system.

Pickets create the visible face, rails carry the boards between posts, and posts support the run. A decorative cap or trim board changes the finish, but it is not a substitute for a properly planned structure. Gate posts and gate frames deserve separate attention because they carry moving loads.

Privacy, airflow and both sides of the fence

Stockade and board-on-board are useful starting points for backyard privacy. Shadowbox, spaced horizontal and picket styles have more open sightlines. Stand where you actually use the patio or yard and consider the view from an angle, not just straight on.

For a shared boundary, discuss which face will be visible from each property and what local or private design rules require. A photo can help communicate the look, but the written scope should settle board orientation, spacing, cap detail and gate treatment.

Slopes, drainage and gates

A fence can be laid out to step with changes in level or follow a grade where the selected construction permits. Neither approach is right for every yard. Review the bottom clearance, corners, retaining features and gate locations before deciding on the layout.

A gate placed on a slope may need a different swing direction or opening arrangement. Include mower width, deliveries, bins and future landscape access in that discussion. Keep drainage routes in view rather than using boards to block an unresolved runoff problem.

Care, repair and what affects the estimate

Ask about cleaning and finishing appropriate to the chosen lumber. New wood should be ready for the selected finish before stain or sealer is applied; timing depends on the material, conditions and product instructions, not a universal number of days.

Project cost changes with length, height, lumber selection, design complexity, gate count, site access and removal work. For an existing fence, sound rails and posts may make a limited board repair practical. Natural checking, color change and movement are different from installation workmanship defects.

A clear way forward

From your first question to a defined scope.

  1. Bring the style

    Photos or HOA requirements help establish the look you want.

  2. Plan the openings

    Allow for daily use and the equipment that needs access.

  3. Confirm finishing expectations

    Discuss what is included in the installation and any separate finishing or maintenance work.

  4. Read the warranty

    Natural wood changes such as checking, warping, and discoloration are excluded from workmanship coverage.

Before we get started

A few good questions.

Can you match a wood fence already on my property?

We can review the existing style and dimensions. New material may not match aged or weathered wood exactly, and availability can affect the options.

Is staining included?

Do not assume it is included. Ask us to identify any finishing work specifically in the written scope.

Does the warranty cover warped or cracked boards?

The supplied workmanship warranty excludes natural wood characteristics, including warping, checking, cracking, shrinking, and discoloration. Material and workmanship coverage are different.

Can you replace only the damaged boards?

We can assess that. The condition of the rails, posts, and surrounding fence helps determine whether a board-only repair makes sense.

Is shadowbox completely private?

Not from every angle. Alternating boards create partial screening while leaving openings. Compare it with stockade or overlapping board-on-board if blocking sightlines is your main goal.

Can I choose steel posts behind a wood fence?

Ask about a compatible steel-post option for your chosen layout. Availability, post details, gate supports and any finish requirements should be included in the proposal.

Will new boards match an older fence?

New wood can differ noticeably from weathered boards. We can discuss material and profile matching, but an exact color match should not be assumed.

Can the layout follow my sloped yard?

We can review stepped and grade-following approaches against the actual terrain and selected style. Pet clearance, drainage and gate travel are part of that decision.
