Wood Fences

There's something timeless about a wood fence. It brings natural beauty to your property while offering privacy, security, and that classic look that never goes out of style. At HHS Hacienda Heights Fencing, we've been building custom wood fences for homeowners throughout Hacienda Heights for years, and we know exactly how to create a fence that matches your vision and stands the test of time.

Wood fencing remains one of the most popular choices for residential properties, and for good reason. It's versatile, attractive, and can be customized to fit any style from traditional privacy fences to modern horizontal designs. Whether you want a tall fence for complete privacy or a decorative picket fence to accent your front yard, we'll build exactly what you're looking for.

Choosing the Right Wood for Your Fence

Not all wood is created equal when it comes to fencing. We work with several types of lumber, each with its own benefits. Here's what you need to know:

Cedar: This is the premium choice for wood fencing. Cedar naturally resists rot, decay, and insects, which means it lasts longer with less maintenance. It has a beautiful grain pattern and a pleasant aroma. Cedar starts with a rich reddish-brown color and ages to an elegant silver-gray if left unstained.

Redwood: Another top-tier option, redwood offers similar benefits to cedar with natural decay resistance and stunning color. It's slightly more expensive but incredibly durable and beautiful.

Pressure-Treated Pine: This is the most budget-friendly option and still delivers excellent performance. The treatment process forces preservatives deep into the wood, protecting against rot and insects. It's a smart choice if you plan to paint or stain your fence.

Popular Wood Fence Styles

We build all types of wood fences, but here are the styles our Hacienda Heights customers request most often:

• Privacy fences: Solid panels with no gaps, typically 6 feet tall. Perfect for backyards where you want complete privacy and wind protection.
• Shadow box: A stylish privacy fence where boards are staggered on both sides of the rails. This creates an attractive pattern on both sides while still blocking most sight lines.
• Picket fences: The classic white picket fence look, perfect for front yards and garden areas. Available in various heights and picket styles.
• Horizontal boards: A modern look that's gaining popularity. Clean lines and contemporary styling that works beautifully with modern architecture.
• Split rail: A rustic, open fence style ideal for defining property boundaries without blocking views. Great for front yards and large properties.

Maintaining Your Wood Fence

Let's be honest about maintenance: wood fences require more care than vinyl or aluminum, but many homeowners find the natural beauty worth the effort. Here's what you need to know to keep your wood fence looking great.

Staining or sealing your fence every 2 to 3 years protects the wood from moisture and UV damage. This extends the life of your fence significantly. You can choose to maintain the natural wood color with clear sealers or change it up with stains in various colors. Regular cleaning with a garden hose removes dirt and prevents mildew buildup.

We recommend inspecting your fence annually for any loose boards, protruding nails, or signs of damage. Catching small issues early prevents bigger problems down the road. If you're not interested in doing the maintenance yourself, many of our customers hire professional fence maintenance services to handle staining and repairs.

Our Wood Fence Installation Process

We've refined our fence installation process over years of experience. It starts with a free consultation where we discuss your needs, show you samples, and take measurements. We'll explain your options for wood types, styles, and finishes, and provide a detailed written estimate.

During installation, we set posts in concrete for maximum stability, ensure everything is perfectly level and plumb, and build your fence to precise specifications. We handle all the details including gates, hardware, and finishing touches. Most residential wood fences are completed in two to four days depending on size and complexity.

We also offer wood fence repair services if your existing fence just needs some attention rather than full replacement. Our goal is to give you the best solution for your specific situation.
