Side-by-side boards
Boards sit next to one another for a straightforward privacy fence. Wood can shrink as it dries, so narrow gaps may appear over time. This is a good starting point when you want a traditional look and a simpler layout.

Overview
A wood fence that fits the way you use your yard.
A fence has a lot to do: screen the patio, keep the dog in, make room for the mower and still look at home beside the house. Start with how much privacy you want and where people and equipment need to pass. Those choices narrow the board layout, height and gate widths.
Cedar and pressure-treated pine offer different looks and budgets. Posts and rails matter just as much as the boards: fence height, exposed runs and changing ground conditions all affect the support a layout needs. A cap, trim, rot board or stain can finish the design when included in the project.
Replacing an old fence? Share a few photos and the approximate length. We can discuss the existing line, removal, gates and new materials, then put the proposed work in writing so you know what is included.
Options
Choose how the boards meet.
Board-on-board
Overlapping boards cover the spaces between adjacent boards and offer more consistent privacy as the wood changes. The extra lumber changes the price; ask how the finished sides will look from each property.
Horizontal boards
Horizontal lines give a yard a contemporary look. The layout needs appropriate support and a plan for changes in grade, especially where level sections meet sloping ground.

The details below help define your project. Discuss them with us so the written scope reflects your property, the materials you choose and the work you need.
Boards, rails and posts
Wood species, board layout, post material and the framing details, along with any cap, trim or rot board.
Fence line and height
The length, height, corners and transitions where the fence meets a house, neighboring fence or sloping ground.
Gates and hardware
Gate locations and clear widths, swing direction, frame, hinges and latch. Think about mowers, bins and vehicle access.
Removal and site work
What happens to the existing fence, whether clearing or utility marking is needed, and what cleanup is included.
Planning for your property
Plan for Fort Worth soil, weather and neighborhood rules.
Seasonal changes in clay soil can move the ground around fence posts. Sun and rain also change the appearance of exposed wood, so discuss post support and finish options for your specific site.
Before choosing a height or finish, check current city requirements and any HOA rules that apply to your property. Bring those details to the quote conversation.

Questions about wood fencing.
Useful details to consider when planning wood fencing in Fort Worth.
More fence questionsWhat affects the cost of a wood fence in Fort Worth?
Length, height, wood species, board layout, posts, gates and removal all affect the quote. Overlapping boards use more material than a simple side-by-side layout. Share the dimensions and access conditions for a project-specific price.
Should I choose cedar or pressure-treated pine?
Cedar has natural resistance to decay and insects and is often chosen for its appearance. Pressure-treated pine is another common option and may cost less initially. Compare the actual boards, finish and maintenance expectations in your quote.
Which wood fence offers more privacy?
Overlapping board-on-board construction covers the spaces between boards. Side-by-side boards can develop small gaps as wood dries. Ask to see the intended layout and which side of the fence will face each property.
Are steel posts better than wood posts?
Galvanized steel posts resist ground-line rot. Treated wood posts provide a traditional appearance but require attention to the conditions at ground level. The right choice depends on the layout, appearance and budget.
When can a new wood fence be stained?
The wood needs to be dry enough for the selected product. Timing varies with the lumber, weather and coating instructions; it should be assessed rather than based on a single fixed waiting period.
Do I need permission before installing a fence?
Requirements depend on the property, fence height and location. Check current City of Fort Worth guidance and any HOA rules, and obtain required approvals before work starts.
