Privacy Fence

Full 6-ft boards with no gaps — the most popular style for backyards. Dog-ear or flat-top cap options.

Picket Fence

Shadow Box / Board-on-Board

Alternating boards on both sides create privacy from every angle — popular in Amherst and Williamsville.

Split Rail

Rustic 2- or 3-rail style for large lots and acreage. Often combined with wire mesh for pet containment.

Wood species we install

Best choice

Western Red Cedar

Naturally rot-resistant oils, beautiful grain, takes stain beautifully. Lasts 15–20+ years in WNY with proper sealing. Our #1 recommendation.

Most affordable

Pressure-Treated Pine

Chemical treatment makes it resistant to rot and insects. Economical choice — needs sealing every 2–3 years to prevent weathering.

Spruce

Smooth, consistent grain that holds paint well. Best used in painted applications like picket fences.

Wood fence FAQ

How much does a wood fence cost in Buffalo, NY?

Wood fence installation in Buffalo typically runs $35–$55 per linear foot installed, depending on height, style, and wood species. Cedar costs more upfront than pine but lasts significantly longer. A 150-ft cedar privacy fence typically costs $5,250–$8,250 installed.

How long does cedar fence last in Western New York?

Properly installed and sealed cedar fence lasts 15–20+ years in Buffalo's climate. The key is: frost-line post depth (42" minimum), concrete footings, and sealing the wood every 3–5 years. Our lifetime workmanship guarantee covers installation quality for the life of the fence.

Do you seal or stain the fence after installing?

We can apply a stain or sealer at installation for an additional cost, or you can seal it yourself after the wood has dried for 4–6 weeks. We recommend a semi-transparent oil-based stain for cedar — it penetrates the grain and offers better protection than surface sealers.

How long does wood fence installation take?

Most residential wood fence installs take 2–3 days. We dig all posts, set them in concrete, let them cure overnight, then attach rails and boards. We don't rush — cured concrete posts mean a fence that stays plumb for decades.
